Why can't it be exciting and win???
Why does it has to be exciting and lose? So you're implying that all exciting fighters loses?
Biased ass question
Larry loves Floyd.
Look, pretty boy Floyd was awesome, awesome.
Then Floyd became "money". Phaggatron Mayweather. Still good, excellent skills, but... He was better as "pretty boy"
Good for Floyd he made more money and fought differently.
dumb thread. Boring winners include Floyd $$$...and on the other end, Rigo.
I would imagine everyone here would rather be the Floyd type "boring winner" who can leave the sport with there mind (and presumably wallets) intact.
I would rather be a boring winner as the goal of the fight is to win, not to lose in exciting fashion.
I also agree with Irondan, boring is subjective.
calling floyd, ward, Crawford, rigo and others boring is always a reaction to them beating an NSB favorite or non american rather easily.
It's NSB, If you can't beat 'em, denigrate them.
The slick crew are gonna say we dont appreciate boxers. Yea i do, i thought floyd oscar was a good fight. Floyd tried to hurt oscar towards end of that fight. Toney mcallum fights, whitaker mcgirt fights, hearns vs benitez.
You're a Hopkins fan.
A lot of people say Hopkins is a boring fighter. But you find him entertaining right?
It's all subjective. As is entertainment in general. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

ok, since we are boxing fans, lets pose this question instead:
would you rather watch an exciting fight or a boring fight?
take crawford for instance, no-one is asking him to stick his chin out , hands down and get hit by postol but he was clearly taking over the fight, yet still stuck to his low output no-one wants to see a bore-fest like that
What's boring and what isn't is subjective though isn't it
Not everyone likes the same thing.
Some people enjoy those Crawford esque performances.

That's what I meant bro.. I'm buzzed.. That fight was here in LA..i was dying for a rematch
Meh..
Push on technicality
Too much cruising at the end.. Took the interest factor out for this fight fan..i don't get tired of finishes but sick of no attempts to finish
So do you find Woad Klitschko exciting?
I don't understand why we are acting like the first half of Floyd's career doesn't exist. 97-05 his fights were a lot more exciting than Lewis' career.
Lewis didn't push for stoppages all the time. He rarely pushed for it ever. He was a big puncher so he got a lot of stoppages much like Wlad but he didn't really push for them.
Anyway, it's irrelvant because Lewis was boring as hell man. Some of his fights were like watching paint dry.
A whole of a Hell lot more than what I got from Floyd
And I hated Lewis sissy ass
Regardless, he was still considered to be a boring fighter and he was boring IMO very boring actually.
I'd argue Mayweather from 1997-2005 was a whole lot more exicting to watch than Lewis ever was.
Razor, Mike, McCall, Evander, Vlad
Nope
Can't say he was totally boring
Probably a typo on your part but Lennox fought Vitali, not Wlad bro. :D
And that fight was exciting as hell.
what people say in this forum really affects you, isn't it? :lol1:
What I find interesting is that he hardly ever responds to personal and even borderline racial abuse but boy you slate Mayweather and.....
Razor, Mike, McCall, Evander, Vlad
Nope
Can't say he was totally boring
Holyfield? You're sh*tting me, man. That fight wasn't a bore?
McCall 2? Boring as hell.
Tyson wasn't exciting considered he just slowly beat on a shell of a man.
Ruddock was alright in the sense he starched him early but that's the eqiuvilent to saying Wlad Klitschko isn't considered boring because he starched Pulev early.
When he had a for sure kill, he at least went for it.. Had me interested for all 12
Lewis was literally widely considered one of the most boring fighters ever when he was still an active fighter. His main criticism.
And it's true, he was boring as hell most of the time especially later in his career.
