      Cuz Floyds style is like watching paint dry. Only hard core boxing fans can appreciate what he does but I watch fights to be entertained not gloss over a fighters technical ablilities. Which is why I wont buy his next fight on ppv and instead get the mosley vs cotto , vargas vs mayorga fights.

        For those fans who like excitement and fireworks, Mayorga/Vargas is definitely the fight to watch! I got Mayorga by Brutal KO

            Come on Tyson was Knocking everyone out and came straight forward while Mayweather outboxes people. Tyson's style is more pleasing to the casual fan while only people who love the sweet science can appreciate Mayweather's tactics.

              his fans are neither hardcore nor are able to assess technical abilities....they have a fetish for him and/or his style of boxing....its just love, it cant be explained

                It's simple.

                Tyson was the real deal.

                He fought the best and cleaned up the HW division before he went to jail.

                Fake Floyd runs like a cowards from Baldomir and an old DLH.
