    So sick of that excuse.

    If you don't want your opponent to run, then stop them. What Walters is really saying here is that he doesn't think he could handle Rigo boxing.

      Idk why people keep asking him about it. Walters would knock Rigo out. The size difference is too much.

        booo
        I don't like when on of my favourites talk shit about my other favourite. Old bastard Arum spoiled his mind.
        And this sounds ****** considering that Walters is more likely a Thurman type of boxer-puncher who can box too not a brainless brawler who I think usually say this things.

        Professional boxers should forget this "running" talk. It's so awkward. I mean they should be proud that his sport isn't just about stand and trade but has more styles, more strategy, more layer etc... and if a "runner" happens to be the best guy out of you then you should face him and find him in the ring not whining about "he doesn't trade with me"

            Eh...when Lomachenko boxes circles around him he will call it running and clinching.

              lol Arum gets the blame for everything.

              I don't really see Walters as a Thurman type, maybe there are fights I have missed but I haven't seen him box off the backfoot for any length of time.

              Strong puncher with good technical skills, who tends to pressure more often than not. I can see him catching Lomachenko down the stretch.

                  Rigo is used to fighting bigger guys... he will just land straight lefts all night long and have walters on ***** street.

                    Prime James Toney would be called running and clinching by these jackasses today.
