    He`s a 'boxer' He`s a 'fighter' boxing is using fundametals that work and so is 'fighting' walking in taking punches means you are not a pro, running around and jabbing leads to unskilled runners being called 'boxers'.

    If those runners hold belts, then its an evolutionary obstacle in the face of other boxers. Its not meant to be easy, no one wants to see Runners, but if no one can stop them...then its a skill that makes them win. It adds more drama & credit for the effective boxer who is able to do what Zab Judah did to Cory Spinks

    "There's levels to this thing."

    I get why it's used so much, but face it, it's one of the most overused cliches around.
