    Having reach and height advantage and running all the rounds is shame

    Yeah, Floyd running is a disgrace against Maidana. Floyd has reach and height advantage over Maidana, but what he did against Maidana is to run.

    I assume he used Hopkins tactics to make opponent tired for later rounds. But Hopkins is 49 and you are young guy.

    Yeah definitely, I think sometimes boxers get accused of running when they're just boxing, this guy in the first 5 or so rounds was just doing nothing but running, not even trying to attack.

    is it really runing if you hit the guy more then he hit you? not only that is it running if you won almost every round because you were hitting him more then he hit you?

    running and slapping should not equal a win. be it ali, camacho, or algieri.
