Worst "Runners" In The Sport? (Current/Alltime)

:yikes :roll: :think

Have you seen Raheem fight?

 

That's not running that's catching a break or getting your wind back.

 

Bernard Taylor's marathon retreat against Pedroza was so outrageous that Ed "Too-Tall" Jones couldn't have touched him with his 88 inch reach. On the other hand, BT certainly had the conditioning necessary to skip though all 45 minutes of activity.

Against Saad Muhammad, Vonzell Johnson was a very poor runner indeed. Bouncing on his toes, Vonzell seemingly built up an early lead. From his ringside broadcasting position on CBS, Gil Clancy kept warning blow by blow announcer Tim Ryan and the television viewing audience that Vonzell would simply not be able to sustain that tactic for 15 rounds. Matt also knew this perfectly well, and just patiently stalked Vonzell, biding his time.

Vonzell managed to make it through ten rounds, but his legs finally gave out in round eleven as he gassed into fumes. In the pussified 12 round romper room era (where boxers use diapers as underwear) Vonzell might have been able to suck it up enough to get through to the final bell. But with four more full rounds scheduled, he had no hope of possibly surviving to touch gloves for round 15.:boltld

Derrick Gainer esp vs JMM

 

Floyd Mayweather against Baldo, Spinks against Taylor

 

Sven Ottke was one hell of a runner

Henry Maske could also turn in championship times over 10k - but I never saw him fight so don't know what he was like in the ring

British contemporaries include Johnny Nelson and Junior Witter

 

Rosenbloom was a cutie rather than a runner, but could get on his bike when he needed/wanted to.

If worst means best then Camacho Snr is up there, but the father of modern (Queensberry Rules) boxing is the surely the best Jem Mace; after all he was a Pedestrian* in the 19th century.

*A pro (normally) middle/long distance runner

 

Sven ottke was the worst runner in boxing history. Just look at his record. Only 4 wins by k.o.atsch

 

thanks for the info TBooze!
