Why Do People Claim 'Mayweather is boring'?

He hasn't been in a boring fight since DLH. shane fight was massively boring after the first 2 rounds. oh and the marquez fight was garbage... floyd would rather play d an entire round, land 1 punch and win the rd= pretty boring.

Most people don't love the sweet science. Many people who watch this sport is just casual fans, and respect to that, as they for the most part are the ones making this sport run financially.

He hasn't been in a boring fight since DLH.

People who think Mayweather or any defensive boxing is boring- piss off and go and watch MMA

i dont get bored with floyd. he's great with what he does. but what make him suck sometimes is that when we knew he could do better or when we knew that he could hurt the opponent if he really pushes it but then he just preferred to play it all safe. yeah he counters perfectly but not to the level where he can destroy them or tko them.. he just do it all over and over again. how about finishing it sometimes because he definitely can... he has a wonderful offense a long time ago, wonderful combinations, now he has transform into a sniper.. so i think thats what make people think he's boring is because he's playing it too safe even when the fight is already secured in his hands. and he is really boring to watch for the casual and just a you pass-over fan but to die hards he is not.

I might be in the only minority that enjoyed Floyd's boxing back then and now. Just shows how well rounded he is.

Floyd is boring point blank. That's my opinion and am sticking to it. Oh and i don't know jack about boxing, I have been in the game 32 yrs and trust me I know talent but I also know boring and floyd is that.

Ah the ol' 'I'm a neutral' comment. It's pretty obvious you don't like Mayweather. And hey, I understand. I honestly do. I used to dislike the guy before too. Until I tuned into his fights. After that, he could insult my family and I wouldn't squeal. That's how good he is. What's your gripe with the guy? And why are you lodged, so far up Manny's ass, that you bought an estate up there? Simple question. young man if i had to pick between floyd and manny i would pick floyd i have nothing against either guy if you look around or ask around you'll find that i'm a well reputed poster who does his best to remain objective if this and the "well rounded thread" are the only one's you've seen me in i can perhaps see where you'd get the idea that i'm "anti floyd" but you'll see me out there advocating for and against both he and pacquiao all over these boards your friend, "brother jay" now he is a "flomo" that guy was literally following my posts around and trying to discredit me (and falling short. i'm sure i've been wrong plenty in the past and i'll be wrong again, but not in these situations, and certainly not in a disagreement with with so little knowledge and so much bias) i was a fan of the sport before either guy came onto the scene and i'll be around long after they are gone

dude you are the one who is literally following my posts around looking to find something to make you feel better about yourself i am sorry but that is sad. what the hell are you even talking about? until i came into a thread ranking floyd mayweather as the most well rounded fighter of all time and ran into "flomos" i haven't heard a single person tell me that my opinions on boxing make me look stupid in fact they've been well received from many of the posters i respect. for the record, i'd pick mayweather easily outpoint mayweather, and i dont identify myself as a member of either of their fanbases if it means i'm excluded from the other. you sir are a "flomo" i dont know why i am even talking with you Ah the ol' 'I'm a neutral' comment.

He is involved in boring fights, well he used to be, because he insisted in running backwards around the ring pitty-pattying. He doesn't have the legs for that any more however, and now he has to stand in front of his opponent. His fights are more entertaining as a result, I'm looking forward to Mayweather v Cotto. Me too. Good post. I'm not so sure he doesn't have the legs to run from his opponents though. He feels more comfortable at 147 now and trusts his chin a lot more than he did when he first moved up, IMO. That, and I really think he's making a late effort to silence some of his critics. I compare Floyd fights to the Superbowl. The hype and buildup are what really make the event impossible to miss. Sure, sometimes the action disappoints, but you'll always be back for more.

IMO its beacause watching pure boxing its an acquired taste ... like listening to jazz or trying certain kind of foods etc... When i first started boxing i would watch some fights and get distracted or bored... but now that i been in the game for some time ... and have learned to watch boxing. I can watch fights non stop no matter what ... and i do find floyd skills to be really entretaining. I usually find myself amazed at the skill level of this guy. I dont really like his attitude but the guy its a true boxing genius.

NO! I dont think so. Cotto is a warrior. He beats up opponents Manny is from all direction non stop throwing and moving. Floyd Pot shots and waits to counter. little flurries here and there. It works just like the Klitz brothers. And they get hated on too got lack luster. Styles are inquired taste from person to person... just like he was throwing non stop vs marquez right?

Your lack of understanding is what made you criticize Floyd without realizing that Pacquiao was guilty of the same thing. The difference between the two was that Marquez could not get a rematch against Pacquiao because Pacquiao kept refusing. So, after a while Marquez decided that if he cannot redeem himself against Pacquiao, he would instead move passed Pacquiao to the best man in the business. Marquez has consistently said that Floyd is on a completely different level than Manny Pacquiao. You can edit AFTER THE FACT if you like, but it isn't me making you look stupid. You've been doing a fine job all by yourself, tough guy. I just clapped at the end and told Dubbed that I enjoyed it. And here you come complaining because I like appreciate a decisive win. You'll be all right. dude you are the one who is literally following my posts around looking to find something to make you feel better about yourself i am sorry but that is sad. what the hell are you even talking about? until i came into a thread ranking floyd mayweather as the most well rounded fighter of all time and ran into "flomos" i haven't heard a single person tell me that my opinions on boxing make me look stupid in fact they've been well received from many of the posters i respect. for the record, i'd pick mayweather easily outpoint mayweather, and i dont identify myself as a member of either of their fanbases if it means i'm excluded from the other. you sir are a "flomo" i dont know why i am even talking with you

LOLLLLLLLLLLL ... I loved watching you b!tchslap him with logic. Good job. *****slap with logic? i dont even undertsand the nature of his question, nowhere in my posts does it come into question that marquez and manny fought twice at lower weight classes prior to the mayweather and marquez fight you must really be hurting about the "floyd being the most well rounded" fighter ever thread if that's what you've been reduced to Edit: i think i understand the nature of his quesiton now he's asking whether about pacquiao and marquez fought because he's talking about pacquiao in true WW terms which he is not. fighting manny twice doesnt prove you belong in there with WW you seriously thought i didnt know about marquez and manny's first two fights? and you thought you'd swoop in and start to feel better about yourself for pointing it out to everybody?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Pacquiao fight him before Mayweather? pacquiao had fought marquez twice at the time he fought floyd, first at 26 and then at 30, but i dont see what that has to do with my post? manny isnt a real WW, even now. he eats like a horse to weigh about 145-50 on fight night naturally he's probably somewhere between LW and jr WW we'll call him a small jr WW

his best performance? is english your second language? is that a typo? **only casual fans were clamoring over that one the only thing that fight showed was that marquez has no business in there with a real WW and that floyd cant stop a blown up LW (former career FW,) Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Pacquiao fight him before Mayweather?

Mayweather vs Marquez, boring? Are you serious? That was his best performance. Even casual fans were clamoring over that one. his best performance? is english your second language? is that a typo? **only casual fans were clamoring over that one the only thing that fight showed was that marquez has no business in there with a real WW and that floyd cant stop a blown up LW (former career FW,)

theyre ufc fans or theyre not smart enough to understand counter punching and ring generalship are what makes up the sweet science.

Mayweather vs Marquez, boring? Are you serious? That was his best performance. Even casual fans were clamoring over that one. Too bad he needed to fight a blown up midget...
