        Floyd isn't a naturally exciting, keep you on the edge of your seat, adrenaline inducing type of fighter, but he's no way, "boring". Floyd falls somewhere in the middle.

          Yeah, but it's kinda hard to name rated fighters more boring than him right?

            This is one of those absurd threads in which you could name every single counter puncher. What do you want exactly? Is this just to appease your own weak mind because you can't enjoy the true science of boxing? What do you gain from all these Mayweather = boring type threads?

            Anyway, do you also find Whitaker, Locche, Wright, Hopkins, Jones, etc etc etc etc etc etc boring? Or is it as simple as Mayweather has now become a real threat to your revered fighter Manny Pacquiao and people are saying there is no chance that Pac could ever beat him and so to make yourself feel better, and try to give Pac any kind of win over him, you bring up these boring threads about Mayweather supposedly being boring?

              What about Cory Spinks? Did you see his fight with Taylor? what about the Klit's? They're about as boring as anyone I can think of. What about Ruiz? What about the entire heavyweight division as it stands now, apart from Haye? What about Ivan Calderon? There are a million fighters you could go through.

              Have you seriously seen Mayweathers good fights? You know that everyone has good and bad fights right (yes, even your Pacgod has had some boring ass fights)? Have you seen his good fights?

                I haven't seen Locche fight, but Jones and Whitaker aren't more boring than Mayweather. Try again.

                  Question, how many Floyd Mayweather fights have you seen?

                  What fights have been boring?

                  Hatton - Mayweather was an exceptionally entertaining fight.

                  Mayweather - De La Hoya didn't live up the build up, but it certainly wasn't "boring". I don't think anyone was bored the first time they watched the fight, without knowing who won.

                  Mayweather - Baldomir was boring. - Boredom count: 1

                  Mayweather - Judah was a good, entertaining fight.

                  Mayweather - Mitchell was pretty decent. There were some big punches landed in that fight. The fight just lacked drama, obviously because it was a tuneup.

                  Mayweather - Gatti is one of the most brilliant one sided beatdowns I have ever seen. I have watched this fight over and over. The fight that made Floyd my favorite fighter.

                  Mayweather - Brusselles a title eliminator bout, with no prefight hype or drama. The fight itself was certainly not "boring". Floyd out classed and KO'd the inferior fighter.

                  Mayweather - Corely was a fantastic fight. The fight where the hardest punch ever landed on Mayweather occured: a brutal right hook from Corely. Some great combination counter-punching put on display by Mayweather in this one.

                  Mayweather - N'dou a wildly entertaining fight, with hard hitting, exchanges and a beautiful, yet brutal finish.

                  Floyd has had one boring fight in his last 9 bouts. How on earth, do you consider him a "boring" fighter, let alone "one of the most boring fighters ever" that the thread title infers.
                  Indeed. Very fine post.

                  I think if someone honestly takes the time to go through his fights they will actually be really surprised at how exciting his fights are. Yes, he has had some boring fights, but they are very few and not nearly as boring as some people make out.

                  If you go with a clear mind and watch all of his fights you'll find some real gems in there BBPeenoy. As mentioned, check out the N'Dou, Corley, fights as well as his fight with Augustus and Chavez. Start with those and come back and tell us how boring you still think he is. Just go watch them. Don't come back with a sarcastic reply. Just go and watch each one.

                  If you don't like them, then you will never like any fighter apart from Pac.

                      Not at all, in fact I can easily name 20 current top ten fighters that are more boring that Floyd.

                      1. Wladamir Klitschko
                      2. Nikolay Valuev
                      3. Sultan Ibragimov
                      4. Adrian Diaconu
                      5. Felix Sturm
                      6. Bernard Hopkins
                      7. Winky Wright
                      8. Jermain Taylor
                      9. Tomasz Adamek
                      10. Andre Dirrell
                      11. Stevie Forbes
                      12. David Diaz
                      13. Joel Casamayor
                      14. Ivan Calderon
                      15. Paulie Malignaggi
                      16. Cory Spinks
                      17. Antonio Tarver
                      18. Vernon Forrest
                      19. Luis Collazo
                      20. Sergio Mora

                      And 14 of those fighters have headlined a Pay Per View.
