From where did Mayweather being a boring fighter come from?

[flexxx145]

I agree with everything you said but that ^^

Ali allowed guys to wear themselves out with the "rope a dope". I don't see that as unnecessary.

So since he's called a boring fighter out of two fights it seems, then can he win some fans back by being exciting in his next two fights? Maybe he shuts out Mosley in exciting fashion, puts a Gatti-like display for a 12 round decision and then shut out Pacquiao like he did to Corley, maybe suffering a few lefts and gets momentarily stunned in the process but still shuts out both Pacquiao and Mosley in exciting fashion...would you guys like him then?

you just reminded me how poor floyd's resume is, comparing mosley and pac to gatti and corley.

I consider it unnecessary because truthfully speaking he didnt have to do that, he didnt have to take them shots. All he had to do is get out of the way but he chose not to, he chose to absorb them instead. Thats why i say its unnecessary. You had an excellent overall point but there are many other boxers you could have named other than Ali

Yes he employed the rope-a-dope for Foreman but he also let many other fighters hit him quite easil, especially Shavers

He is cautious but not boring (xcpt for the Baldo fight)

Its one of those things that haters magnify when there is nothing else to say about a dominant athlete. I remember them calling Roy boring, then he lost now they dont really give a **** about him

Success breeds envy. Whenever someone dominates what inevitably follows is an inially small group start to nitpick and accuse him of (ducking, cherry picking, running, boring, lacking power, having beaten no1, having no chin, would lose in another era) etc

It just the way things are.

This is true and it can apply for almost every boxer. Calzaghe, and Marciano are two other boxers that don't get enough respect although they were once against odds and came through. You can also see the same thing is gonna happen to Ward and Dawson.

Go watch the Baldo and ODLH fights and tell me if you were honestly bored. Every fight does not end with a KO. Matter of fact I used to get mad Tyson fights would end so quick. Who wants to buy a ppv that ends in the 1st round over and over again?

Hopefully FLoyd vs Manny happens or this ****** crap will go on forever.

Gatti-like performance on Mosley, not that Gatti fights like Mosley. Shuts out Pacquiao like he did to Corley meaning he might get stunned a couple of times by Pacquiao but I still see Mayweather shutting him out.

And I guess you weren't around in the days where threads were being about "Gatti is too big for Floyd", "Gatti will stop Floyd". Lol oh how people forget so fast.

From *******s. *******s don't know **** about boxing. They think a guy needs to stand there and bleed all over the place for it to be a boxing match.

Yeah I remember everybody said Floyd was crazy for saying he was going to beat Gatti LOL!

Floyd did what he had to do against a bigger man in DLH but it was borderline boring i admit. Against Baldomir I loved the first 2-3 rounds where Floyd was putting a display of right hands and all you hear is the crowd enjoying it in in awe. But then I think in the 5 round and up when e supposedly broke his right hand which is believable seeing as how he stopped using it, the fight did become dreadful to watch.
