All these people who say fighters run or are cowards

[MPX309]

need to re-evaluate their statements, sure everyone looks a good dust up, but it not us in the ring with out future in our hands for 36 minutes. too many boxers have died this year already, heck even one is more than too many.

I hate boxers being called cowards.

Men who retreat from toe to toe combat are not men, they are cowards. Period. Men do not take a step back, they stand their ground. If you let another make you run backwards, you are bsh.

A guy fights to his strength. Face 1st guys usually burn out, retire broke and mentally damaged.

Boxers who run in a fight like a scared kangaroo and refuse to fight toe to toe are cowards. Plain and simple!!!

Absolutely no boxer amateur or professional can be labelled a coward unless they fill their gloves up with bricks or use peds to cheat.

Nah guys..
You guys are wrong and if you know and love boxing then you will know what you posted is BS
Edit-referring to GGG and Pacphobia.
Maybe you are both the same poster cause it's pretty rare to see such ill informed and childish answers in the one thread.

Some runners are cowards like Lara or Paulie
Others just can’t fight on the inside

To me what makes certain fighters cowards is when they behave in a cowardly manner. If any person behaves in a cowardly manner they are cowardly people as far as I'm concerned. That doesn't mean I don't respect their commitment to the sport & it doesn't mean I don't respect certain parts of who they are,it just means I have no respect for them as people.

Sometimes that entails that a fighter is being an obnoxious loudmouth about other more accomplished fighters while at the same time hypocritically doing much worse & especially til an older age(ducking),or when they call others cowardly runners then do the exact opposite they were woofing about Mexican style. Sometimes its because a fighter behaves like a disrespectful buffoon towards everyone else including himself, bottom line is I believe respect is earned & if you carry yourself in a way that is the opposite of whats considered being a respectable man,then I consider you a cowardly man, regardless of what you have accomplished.

I consider Saunders a coward & I consider ggg a pansy fraud, for different reasons,I consider Broner a cowardly man, because of his life outside the ring, just like BJS & several others. I consider ggg to be a complete fraud & unrespectable because of his track record of being a greedy hypocrite that plays it safe, but I don't consider ggg a coward because hes great to his family & he lives his life in a respectable enough manner outside the ring.(when I say respectable all I mean is some fighters are complete lowlives that waste their talent & or who are selfish cowards to their family or others like BJS/Broner)
