    Baldomir and Delahoya (arguably) are his only blatantly boring fights.
    prolly true but i gotta admit i find most of floyd fights boring aswell.....he's got all the skills in the world but somehow does not make the fight a lil more exciting.....

      I don't think boring per se, but Bruseles, Mitchell, and Gatti, were blatant mismatches which everybody knew going in.

      I mean everyone pretty much knew Floyd was gonna dominate, and he did.

      I see him in the same vein as people see Klitschko.

      He's so much better than the dudes he fought for good money.

        lets wait and see...you cant hate on him based on what you think is gonna happen in the future.......what are you,nostradamus?

          Name some fights where he was just straight up boring, besides the ones I already pointed out?

          Hatton was the one who stunk that fight up. And it still managed to be engaging.

          Against Corrales he was great to watch. The Judah fight was a back and forth, good fight.

                he is not concern about the weight. but he is negotiating to see if he get 147 or more money. thats why he is holding the belt back

                  If Cotto is forced below the WW limit, the title should NOT be on the line.

                    I don't know I see it as someone taking every advantage they can get.

                    I wouldn't call it being a *****.

                    It's been done before plenty of times.
                    buddy all manny does is fight past prime fighters or weight drained fighters or non challenges OR... weight drained past prime non challenges lol...

                    pacquiao is a ***** plain and simple..we see it time after time after time with this prick..now he's bitching and crying cause he NEEDS cotto to be weight drained AND he wants his title even though HE'S TOO ***** to head up to 147..call taking an advantage [which it is] i call BEING A *****..

                    and boy..manny pacquiao IS A *****.

                      It's not a bad tactic.

                      He's given Manny a lot of concessions.

                      I am ok with that.

                      I mean why not?
