Take Adrian Broner, for example. Why did he run all around the ring against John Molina during their fight back in March?

I guess if you not absorbing punching to the face your "running" now days. I'm starting to think "running" is the number 1 excuse for a boxer losing now. Even when he is standing there in the middle of the ring and still not getting hit.

Here are some more "runners".

You guys aren't doing a lot for the casual fans here....it's all about standing in there all caveman like and trading hard shot for hard shot. That's what boxing is all about, right? Mayweather hits and moves, such a coward.

Manny just couldn't hit him with all that "running". Oh my bad.... he was hurt....and Marquez didn't time him...no, it was a "lucky shot""...or wait...even better, Marquez was on ""roidz"(pot kettle black).

Pacquiao fans are comical.

According to Roach he stepped on his foot and Manny "ran" into his fist. Or my personal favorite, he forgot his lucky socks lmao .

that's actually a good strategy, you don't even have to know how to fight in real life, if you run fast you never have to fight

Oh man, the lucky socks is my favorite so far. I almost spat my drink when he said that after losing vs Morales. You should hear what Pac Fanboys said after he finished with his face on the mat vs Marquez. They were saying he lost on purpose and pretended he was KOed to lure Floyd into accepting to fight him.

Good thing is that they will soon all disappear from boxing as Manny will retire and that's pretty much all the Philippines have to offer to boxing. These fanboys don't like boxing, they like Pacquiao. No wonder they don't know crap about boxing and think defense equals running or think that boxing involves two cavemen in the middle of the ring throwing haymakers from beginning to end.

Lol yea my dad still doesn't believe me about the lucky socks thing. I've been trying to find a link to show him. But it just gets more ridiculous. He purposely lost a fight and hurt his career just to get Floyd to fight him? lol. The way his fist impacted his face looked far from fake to me. They need counseling, they need to be diagnosed. Manny is a good fighter but the problem is they treated him like he was God and... well there was their God... planked face down sleeping like a baby. Funny thing is had that been Mayweather they would have been celebrating.

Go to YouTube and look for “Morales vs Pacquiao post fight interview” or something like that and I can imagine we will find that interview about him wearing the wrong socks.

I am reading all these comments on YouTube and FaceBook from fanboys saying the dumbest things about last week’s fight. Man, can’t wait for them to disappear once Manny retires. Stuff like “Defense is gay. He should slug it out like a true fighter”, “If they fight again this time Manny will destroy him”, “He hugged and ran the entire fight”, “Floyd was scared and that is why he didn’t exchange punches”, “Muhamad Ali is writing on his Tweeter that Floyd is a coward”, "Manny shouldn't have lost because he's such a nice person unlike Mayweather," etc.

Have you heard Skip Bayless from ESPN? Oh man, another clown. Before the fight he was taunting Mayweather saying he was totally afraid to get in the ring with Manny. Then the fight was signed and once again he was bad mouthing Floyd. Now that his boy lost he is all excuses just like other fanboys.

Donnie Nietes of Negros Occidental, is the standing WBO Light Flywieght Champion at 35-1-4. However he does not have the record or charisma to draw the attention of non boxing fans
