I don't think people criticize his style its just the people he fights,Winky and B-Hop are 2 of my faves and they fight defensive,if floyd showed that skill against say,maybe a Cotto or a Mosley,or even a Clottey there would be no room to criticize,right?!

He is a boxer. Casual fans won`t really appreciate his style, but whatever. What pisses me off is when he says that he is exciting blah blah blah. He is not THAT exciting. Pacquiao and Cotto are exciting.

because they really havent seen him fight below 140.

He has great defense and he dominates every fighter that's put in front of him. People say he runs and hides but I admire his style. His skill set is flawless.

He's a great fighter, but very rarely exciting. As a fan I like to see fighters take chances. Floyd plays it safe more often than not.

everyone has their own personal prefrences in attributes or styles they like to see from a fighter

Floyd has a style that is perfect for him. He slowly adopted his style over the years. I've been watching Floyd since 96 and can tell you that if he didn't switched it up he would have a few L's on his resume.

but back to the topic...its his comp if anything. If he faces better people he looks better. Tell them to go rewatch Corrales, Manfredy and Gatti. Pure boxing masterpieces.
