      sorry, but Boxing is in the business of entertainment. You can be technical and exciting. The bigger issue is promising something just to sell the fight, just to put money in your pocket and then doing completely the opposite. At that point, you're just conning the customer.

      Dawson, Marquez Bros, Jones, all can be considered good/great technical fighters and also some of the most exciting to watch.

      I do agree though that Floyd is unfairly labeled as boring just because of the Baldomir and DLH fight. Previous to those, he was nice to watch because he could take more chances.

        Hamed is P4P the most entertaining fighter, ever.
        Mayweather can only wish to put on a show like Hamed, and Mayweather talks about himself being entertaining, my ass. He's predictable and boring.

        Calzaghe's style is so unique and vulnerable that you can't help but be a fan of him when he racked up so many wins by fighting in such a unique manner. You don't know what will happen next and that's what keeps you into the fight.

                Forget about 'casual fans', real boxing fans appreciate what Floyd did against Oscar. How someone can avoid Oscars left hook the whole fight is amazing. Listen, Floyds fight with Baldomir is the most boring fight he's had. I enjoyed the others.

                These haters try and pick up on him being 'boring' to critisize him. Whats so exciting about watching Calzaghe? Hatton?

                I agree though, the Prince was one exciting fighter.

                    I gotta agree with LarryX on this.... Floyd was given a tough fight however u wanna see it (I gave Castillo the win) in the first fight. Floyd gave Castillo a rematch and won fairly. Castillo was quoted in The Ring after the fight as saying he had no answer for Floyd's movement!!! U really can't fault Floyd for this, nor can u make a big deal out of the 1st fight... Everyone loses, so what, everyone gets gift decisions and everyone gets robbed.. Floyd retired before a loss or robbery occured. All my opinion though
