Best fighters at dealing with 'running' outboxers?

You couldn't 'run' from Tommy Hearns.

 

Marciano, Louis, Frazier, Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, V. Klitschko, and W. Klitschko come to mind.

On the other hand these guys also come to mind... some have been called runners but they were also very good with dealing with boxer/runners... they are-

M. Ali, P. Whitaker, R. Leonard, V. Hill, R. Jones, F. Mayweather, M. Pacquiao, S. Martinez.

 

I wouldn't place Duran among the very best.

Mentions of Bowe and the Klitschko's are just plain wrong.

Jeff Fenech is poison for any running outboxer imo, especially if they have nothing to hold him back with.

Whilst he never faced an elite type in that mould, his showings against Coffee, McCrory, Zaragoza, Payakaroon etc. showed how he could track a fleet footed opponent down and force them to engage on his terms.

 

Archie Moore also enjoyed success against the movers. The newspapers had him winning against Pastrano even as an older man.

Usually a counter-puncher himself, he could turn into a spoiler and a pressure fighter as he did against Joey Maxim in his title winning performance, not giving the "runner" any room to run and always being one step ahead of the pursued. There were numerous boxers who had a reputation as spoilers and runners around those days, such as Jimmy Slade and Bert Whitehurst, men that Archie Moore defeated with ease when seemingly harder hitters than him could not.
