Boxing vs Running

Morrison v. Foreman wasn't really running. Tommy had to stop and throw punches. Tommy was not slick enough to run for a full fight like Camacho and Bernard Taylor.

 

I think Camacho-Rosario is mis-remembered by many. Go look at the 9th and 10th rounds — yes you’ll see Hector using footwork but he almost always gets off first and often stops (even along the ropes) to throw a combination that Edwin walks into, then spins away to box some more. And he’s always flicking that jab.

If Camacho is ‘running,’ how is it that he’s throwing and landing more punches? If he’s ‘running,’ what the hell is Rosario doing? He just follows him around and doesn’t throw any punches.

 

SRL in the first round or so, against Hagler.
And throughout the first four, but far less as the fight went on.
He ran again in the 12th.

 

Joshua ran at times in the Ruiz rematch.

 

Morrison against Foreman was the worst, yes.
Worst since O'Brien against Burns anyway.

 

Runners: Pastrano against Johnson, Ray Anderson against Foster, Elmer Rush against Liston, Gene Fullmer against Richard Tiger 2, Del Flanagan, Ralph Dupas, Joey Archer, James J. Corbett
Runner/Grabbers: Maxim, Bobby Dykes, Sammy (Clutch) Angott, most notably on film against Slugger White

I will say that Pastrano ran with particular style and grace, as did Willie Pep for that matter

 

Yes, O'Brien was the king and father of them all.

 

If Lara/Canelo is running then Canelo/GGG 1 should at least considered.

 

Leonard ran a lot in the first five rounds against Hearns too.

 

I just recently watched it for the first time, I'm surprised to see it here. I thought it was pretty dynamic and interesting, though there was some retreating after getting hurt.

 

Pep used his footwork to set up punches and was a great counter puncher.

 

Camacho ran from the time he got hurt by Rosario, he punch out-put dramatically decreased after that.

 

Canelo landed a lot of shots in his first fight v GGG but certainly had to keep moving, GGG was on top in that bout.

 

Morrison landed far more punches than Foreman did.

 

Leonard ran out of gas after 4 rounds v Hagler and sagged on the ropes really weary, he just rallied with combos the last 20 seconds of those rounds.
