    I appreciate the feints that setup those picture perfect punches

    The sheer mastery displayed in Floyd-Alvarez worked for me
    I never found him boring but I do enjoy that sort of style. I don’t find Rigo or Lara boring either, I always kind of enjoy watching a schooling especially if it’s a high level fight. As a guy who tried to box like that and usually failed miserably, I can certainly appreciate that style.

    Can completely understand why casuals don’t enjoy it though, I remember a lot of my mates were like “what the f*** was that” after staying up all night watching Mayweather-Pacquiao.

      I was laughing at the countless idiots who were bashing floyd/pacquiao as boring when true fans of boxing saw floyd's skills on display. He dominated pacquiao. These fans wanted pacquiao to KO floyd, but pacquiao hasn't KO'ed guys for a while, and they expected it to happen to one of the best fighter? GTFOH...stay mad...

        I can appreciate the sweet science in Mayweather. He’s the best boxer of my generation BUT he at times plays it safe. I get it. But it’s boring to watch at times.

          He just might be

          But still boring most fights

          He was fine up until 140-147 and up

          The big guys made him more careful

          He was entertaining 135 and down against similar size opponents

Off the top of my head, the Maidana rematch and Baldomir were the only fights that one can argue are legitimately boring. And IIRC, Floyd hurt his hand on Baldomir's giant skull, and went in with the gameplan to tie up Maidana at every opportunity.
              Yeah it was a debbie downer of a fight for all that excessive foul clinching. People are laughing at Floyd's game to this day.

              If you penalized Floyd for all that intentional hugging which is foul under the Queens Berry rules of boxing. Maidana won that fight.

              Vegas saved Floyd's ass yet again. Not really a true undefeated in any means.

              Maidana got ROBBED.
