    it thought a lot of those exciting fights you mentioned are pretty boring, hatton really wasn't good until the KO, he retreated and for some reason let a smaller hatton win some round and push him around. the rounds zab won were pretty good but he stopped fighting and floyd took over and it got more and more boring however, for me that fight is very watchable. gatti was brutal he would only throw counters he should have knocked him out in under 3 rds, same with marquez, he only countered when he could have easily just beat the **** out of him. my thing is , i like boxing skills, but i like to see a guy use them to beat up his opponent which floyd only does if the guy is like corrales and comes at him constantly throwing power punches. i don't mind when a guy is safe when he needs to be but floyd is safe even when the guy in fron of him is a punching bag. dont hate on me floyd fans , its just my opinion.

      I thought there was enough action in the Marquez, Hatton, and Judah fights? Gatti, Ndou, Corley, were all exciting fights. Bruseles, Sosa, Both Castillo fights were fun to watch. Corrales, Hernandez, Burton, Manfredy.

      So out of two fights, why do you guys call him a boring fighter out of just 2 fights that were boring, Out of 40 pro bouts?
      just because some idiots in a boxing forum claim floyd is a boring fighter, doesnt mean he is.
      he is the PPV King since de la hoya retired.

        I think you should just stick to watching Vazquez-Marquez fights. If Hatton-Mayweather and Judah-Mayweather were boring for you then I don't believe you like boxing skills. You like fighting, blood, guys being hurt, doctors telling boxers to quit boxing, that is what you like. You don't like the art of boxing, hit without getting hit. You want to see Floyd get knocked down or out, then it will be exciting for you. It was the same thing with prime Jones.

          If most fighters had the skill of Mayweather, they'd trade brawling for "boring" or "running" as some people call it.

          Unless you believe it's cool to be stuttering while trying to have a conversation with your children or even having serious mental complications, as a result of so much damage.

            Exactly, it really started with the fight with Baldy then it took off after ODLH fight. The bobfather is also to blame (he's great at promoting whatever he wants people to believe)
            But you're making a mistake here though. You're arguing with facts. I've learned you can't win an argument on NSB by stating facts... you must state cliche claims w/o justification like floyd's is just boring; he's just scared; he always fights fighters smaller than he is, etc.

              I would rather watch a technical fight over that fight anyday of the week.
