    I like chess matches between two high level guys. Floyd-Oscar was a very watachable match for me.

    I appreciate the feints that setup those picture perfect punches

    The sheer mastery displayed in Floyd-Alvarez worked for me

      Only like half his career is slow and defensive. PBF was pretty exciting, it's a BS claim really. You need to disregard his early career and have little appreciation for nullifying talent to think of Floyd as boring.

        I always enjoyed watching Floyd's masterful defensive skills and ability to create openings off of his defense. Many look at that as running, but if I'm in a fight, I want to hit the other guy as much as I can without getting hit. While I do not like Floyd outside of the ring, he's surely one of the greatest of all time.

          What is so exciting about Floyd going the distance with a who's who of cherrypicks.

          He had every conceivable advantage on Juan Manuel Marquez, including welching him on the scales, and still couldn't get him outta there.

              The 3 easiest wins of his career where truly great fighters were made to look ordinary were Manny JMM and Canelo he outclassed the 3 of them, Floyd beat those guys easier than Manny beat a shot, Brandon Rios.

              Floyd is the Beethoven of modern boxing a true master in the art of boxing.

                I appreciate knock out artists as most do, but for Floyd its different, he truly masters teh hit and dont get hit.

                  Yep Floyd’s ability to school other greats is his greatest feat inside the ring

                  Mosley is another great schooled by Floyd

                  no active fighter today is schooling greats

                    I only like Floyd when he was Pretty Boy. When he turned TBE it went down hill..

                    I see the same old Floyd pom pom shakers in here.

                    You guys need to release the sting of the youtuber aye..

                    Here's a release..
