Was Willie Pep a running coward?

Reminds me of this nugget I found on Instagram not too long ago.i remember when people used to say hoya lost the trinidad fight because he ran the last 3 rounds. now people do that for 12 rounds and its a boxing masterclass. or they just clinch for 12 straight rounds thats also a boxing masterclass. the only thing thats not a boxing masterclass is knocking people out. thats cave man sh-it.
And I'm sure Floyd fans at that time were like - yeah! That's right Roger, punches landed win fights, not defense! Now Floyd performs clinch after clinch and it's 12-0 masterclass.

My grammar jokes? You are really going to take the irony that far?

Except Pep would fall into that catergory.I was saying that Larry was suggesting that the two would be, as you say, "boring runners". The point I was making is not just that Willie Pep's style is different, but also that it doesn't fall into the ether of "boring runner".
Let's not pretend that Floyd was not connected to this trend of Larry's obviously agenda pushed threads.Comment

Don't worry about Soul Survivor.
He's upset that I've shut him down every time he's said something ******.
I'm also reasonably sure he's either slightly brain damaged or very young.
(See, that's how you do an "either or" scenario)Comment

The vast majority of Floyds fights did/do not have that much clinching. Really not sure where this came from. Off the top of my head Maidana II and Hatton were the worst, all Hattons fights had clinching because he was mauler type, and at 37 yo Mayweather did what he had to do vs Maidana.Reminds me of this nugget I found on Instagram not too long ago.

He;s hardly a welterweight Wlad is he?Comment

Ortiz was 15 pounds bigger and Baldomir was 17 pounds bigger Cstillo and Corrales were Floyds size??lolOscar a bit bigger, but not by much.
Ortiz is Floyds size.
Canelos bigger.
Castillio and Corrales are Floyds size. No amount of fandom will change that. Neither man could fight past welter and both still made 140.
Baldomir a bit bigger but slow as a snail. Even trade off.
By the way did you ever look that Jake Lamotta KO% up? Have you convince yourself he didn't look for knockouts?
Castillo was a ww on the night he fought Floyd
