Try to add sticks to the legs to operate as bones. They legs will probably bend more naturally!
Also some of the tags look misplaced (left knee) and I can't see any hip tag so try to rectify a few tags and see how it looks.

Hi!

Try deleting the neck tag once and adding it to the same handle as the head tag.

Thank You.

Thanks for the help @k_oshiro @MarineP

I changed the neck tag, the body motion looks better but it's still that left leg/foot that isn't bending correctly. 

Tried messing with the tags in the left leg a bit but it always looks like he's running with a broken leg ;(

Also the right arm motion is a little crazy but I think that might be able to be toned down in the walk behavior settings...
