    others boxing fans who feel like you aren't as smart as you i guess....they let their hate of him overcome the fact that they feel he's boring, yet they still buy his fights anyways, just so they can witness him lose. i don't wanna say jack johnson but one must see the comparisons. jack johnson wasn't that exiciting of a fighter either and was critized for being too defensive like floyd.....but his outside issues like floyd are what sold his fights.

        Jab you been here awhile. You know B-scene polls dont mean much especially when they are multiple choice and involve Floyd Mayweather.

        Most of the people who voted havent responded to the thread.

        Especially when most who voted are Pac fans.

          some people simply like what he does period

            That is true. But for the sake of this thread we're talking about the hardcore fans on boxingscene only. Another opinion is that these fans hate Floyd to the point just to see if he'll get beat even though the chances of that happening are low, and the chances the fight will be boring is high. Suckers for their own hatred in other words.

              Yeah actually its that simple. Like are we 10 year olds? We cant appreciate pure boxing skill now? We need KO's and ball to the wall action every time we cut on boxing?

                    Come on now, I've already said I didn't expect that. But when Im paying to watch something and you not only have the ability but the opportunities to be exciting and you choose to play it safe.....that is disappointing.

                      I selected JMM,DLH and Baldomir in the poll. All three were boring. If only lil floyd would let his hands go more. However,that's a lil too risky for the lil guy. His style isnt spectator friendly. We pay that ****heads bills and he bores most of us to death. Floyd needs to grow a pair and go for it in the ring !!
