    but when Floyd or Whittaker do it its masterful boxing...altough there is a difference, when Floyd retreats he does it while performing antics and clowning around same when Whittaker use to do it(Floyd is a brawler compared to Whittaker). Cotto was going backward but never stopped throwing not just punches but hard punches. Great win for Cotto last night.

    Floyd and Pernell have both goten they're fair shake of being called runners.

    All 3 use lateral movement.

    Cotto fans call Floyd a runner, its about time the chickens came home to roost. Plus Cotto isnt very good at it

    Cotto gets beat up trying to do it because he has a weak defense, the other 2 dont :D

    Cotto ran mainly cause of the cut while fraud runs for no reason.

    He's actually fighting back, and gives as good as he takes.

    Oscar was labeled a runner vs. Trinidad also..
    & the 8+ Rounds he beat Trinidad to the punch in the end "Mysteriously" didn't exist.

    itiswhatitis!

    He learned it from none other than his little homey Calderun.

    Floyd "runs" while winning comfortably.

    Anyway, it's not running. It's called boxing. Whether nuthuggers with fat bitches as avatars like PowerPuncher think Cotto doesn't do it well, it's irrelevant. He did it well enough in the last 2 rounds to get him the win. It doesn't matter if he doesn't do it as well as Whitaker or Floyd.

    I think its because cotto is seen more of a brawler(smart boxer puncher) who is usually the hunter...when suddenly he starts backing up, it then looks like as if he has become the hunted therefore must be running.

    The difference is PBF or Pea were scoring and wining rounds while Cotto was getting hit and not looking to engage only to survive.:deal

    You want to compare Mayweather and Whitaker's movement with the wobbly belly dancing Cotto was doing yesterday? :rofl
