But his style these days is painful and headache-inducing. And also, practically unbeatable. If Floyd was an emerging fighter with this style, he'd be blackballed worse than Rigo, who at least throws punches with bad intentions.
It isn't just casual fans who are bored. He's refined a style that just shuts down the possibility of an engaging fight. Even the great Nacho Beristain called the style "weird". He's truly a great fighter but so were Leonard, Hearns, Duran and those guys knew how to entertain. That was in the job description. That was woven into their style. I just feel when you are a PPV star and the face of boxing, you have to bring something more. Just shutting down the other guy and winning, fight after fight? Not for me. There's a reason none of the greatest fights in boxing history are pot-shotting masterclasses.
