    He's faaaaaaaaar from boring. He's a tactician, one of the best out there. Only *******s think his fights are boring because they all came from UFC and other various places that don't really "get" boxing. It's not stand there and trade, it's a science. Real boxing fans love Mayweather's style.



    edit: gotta love how dumb the crowd is lol, they cheer every time Marquez throws actually believing that he's landing any of the shots

        It's shocking, that a lot of the, so called boxing fans, constantly say "Mayweather's boring to watch".

        I mean, personally, I think he makes boxing look beautiful.

        Is a KO all they want to see?

        Nothing more spectacular than a perfectly timed counter imo.
        coz mofo's don't know **** about boxing!
        he doesn't like to take a risk if we have to make a criticism

          NO! I dont think so. Cotto is a warrior. He beats up opponents Manny is from all direction non stop throwing and moving.

          Floyd Pot shots and waits to counter. little flurries here and there. It works just like the Klitz brothers. And they get hated on too got lack luster. Styles are inquired taste from person to person...

            People watch boxing for different things. I'll watch anything as long as there's a decent skill level.

              Floyd is super boring to watch, skilled but it like watching paint dry. Forget all that bull that he dominates his opponents that why it's so boring crap. So why wasn't sweet pea boring, or Ali? The both dominated defensively and offensively Floyd is just plain BORING, **** am falling asleep writhing about him (yawn)

                just like some people say that Soccer/Futbol is boring, as well as Baseball, Hockey and Golf...and their Hardcore Fans would say the exact same thing as most Hardcore Boxing Fans are saying

                "YOU FIND IT BORING BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT"

                Most of the SKILLED Fighters in boxing today is considered and/or get labeled "BORING":

                Floyd Mayweather
                Andre Ward
                Chad Dawson
                Guillermo Rigondeaux
                Klitschko's
                Anselmo Moreno
                Timothy Bradley

                ^all have been labeled BORING before...but Notice how all of these fighters are sitting at the TOP of their Divisions and many of them are currently Considered Top 10 P4P...just a thought, so to me I don't consider any of them boring, they are just so much better then everybody else in terms of SKILLS as well as Smarts/In Ring IQ

                      Many boxing fans has called defensive fighters like Floyd a boring boxer. NO boxing fan has called a slugger like Mike Tyson boring.
