    Fighters who got thoroughly out-boxed and claimed it was "running"

    Help me compile a list of fighters who got thoroughly outboxed/schooled in the ring and complained that it was due to "running" or some variation of that.

    I'll start with some recent ones.

    1. Marquez-Bradley (Marquez & trainer Nacho claimed Bradley ran the entire fight despite Marquez being almost dropped throughout the fight)

    2. Pacquiao-Mayweather (Pacquiao got outclassed and later faked a shoulder injury and claimed Floyd "ran" in order to win)

    3. Berto; Guerrero-Mayweather (both claimed Floyd ran)

    4. Guerrero-Garcia (Guerrero claimed Danny ran)

    This 'running' term some fans and fighters use is embarrassing. Anybody who uses their feet is running apparently. Either learn to cut the ring off or STFU.

    A lot of guys watch boxing, but don't understand it.

        Yup. Didn't Donaire also claim Rigo ran from him?

          Yup, truth. When you hear people use the term "running" they're not true fans of the sport. Most likely they're MMA and WWE fans that get really excited when fighters get punished. They want the other guy to cooperate with their thirst for blood, so they want the guy to just stand still like a rock em sock em robot.

          If you try to avoid getting hit you're running? ****ing ******ed....

                Yeah, Guerrero is the best example. Mayweather, Garcia, and Thurman did not run from him at all.

                Rigo actually does do a lot of running.
