    Another effective runner Cory Spinks, Zab Judah gave Cory Spinks his first true Loss. (Cory Spinks lost disputable decisions prior to that, running doesn't win decisions in opponents hometowns)

    Did you know it was invented in 1723 when Sir Randolph Walk was walking and started to walk again but was already walking? True!

    That's because you're an idiot. Fighters that run don't win fights, simple as that.

    With the idiot addressed, better and more accurate(without the involvement of irrelevant emotions) examples of running are fights like Pacquiao vs Mosley, Klitschko vs Haye, Vitali Klitschko vs Johnson, Tarver vs RJJ 3...etc

    Many called Floyd a runner but for me his style was beautiful and masterful

    Moving with the lack of throwing punches.

    Ukrainian and Cuban boxing schools make you run on a treadmill for years before you ever even lace up the gloves.

    Sorry too easy.

    Usyk boxes on the front foot in many of his fights and he usually has a very high punch output

    Usyk doesnt run he circles his opponent, mayweather has flat out turned his back and ran. I consider mayweather a runner but there are far worse offenders in boxing (like lara)

    I love to watch the fight like Hagler vs Leonard. Even if the latter was running around throughout the fight, he still threw his punches to fight back all the time.

    Most of these examples I've read of running aren't running. Fighting off the back foot is not running, this is simply creating space and distance, you do not have to stay in range and simply take shots.

    Dirrell vs. Stevens is running
