When people are praying for you to lose and by round 4 the reality hit them that isn't going to happen of course you would be boring to them.

thats it!!!!

I never though he was real boring just not exciting either.

Like people have said, his fights lack drama, so they are not exciting. His style is risk free, so he doesnt gamble, and therefore is not exciting. He dominates his opponents and pot shots = boring.
If he went for the KO, or was more offensive, then he would be exciting to watch, like he was many years ago.

You do realize that Sugar Shan & JMm are both hall of Famers that were coming off KO wins, right?

That doesnt matter. They were given no chance of even challenging Floyd, and thats exactly how the fights played out. = boring.

Floyd's talking gets a lot of people to watch him, but they can leave disappointed at times because the talk may not have matched the performance. There's no doubt that even casuals can see how great his skills are. However, during fights when it's clear that he's in a different class than his opponent and he still chooses to cruise towards a win by seemingly not trying to take him out, that can rub people the wrong way.


TL;DR If you promise greatness and excitement, fans will expect it.

Truth.

When people are praying for you to lose and by round 4 the reality hit them that isn't going to happen of course you would be boring to them.

Thats not it.

People knew Roy Jones, Tyson and Pac have zero chance of losing after a few rounds, yet the fights didnt become boring.

Floyd is boring because his style is very predictable and he doesnt take risks to get the KO.
Pot - shotting = not exciting.

I get your point but your label of "potshotting" isn't the reality in the ring. ODH stopped engaging becaue he was getting hit hard not potshotted or because he was old. Shane didn't want to engage either. Obviously he could've murked JMM but didn't.

So what fights above 140 has he played it safe? He jsut doesn't have 1 punch KO power at this weight.

Those Oscar highlights, where Oscar threw all those punches and landed 1 or 2, where as Floyd popped him at will, are perfect examples of Jim Lampley and dumb fans in the crowd not understanding whats going on in the ring.

Floyd is an exciting fighter. Part of what makes it so exciting to watch his fights is also his aura of being undefeated though and because he's never lost a fight. Castillo I, some thought Castillo should have won, I had JLC winning by a point. Floyd's personality also make him more exciting to watch.

But, his boxing is still great to watch. He's so technically gifted and he just rarely even struggles in the slightest. That's why when Shane landed 2 big shots on him, EVERYONE was talking about it.

[Optimistic]

He's boring for the casual boxing fan that wants fights with explosive action.

............hardcore fans don't want explosive action?


I've used this example a Million times...

if you thought Mayweather - Baldomire was more entertaining than Gatti-Ward I

you're lying

[PrettyBoy22]

He is not boring if you an actual boxing fan who appreciates skills. He may be boring if your just an MMA fan who likes seeing two un-talented sluggers trade blow for blow. Personally, i find that boring
