    Exciting? To be honest, not as much now that he's back with Sr. Entertaining? Oh Yeah, Who doesn't want to see a master of their craft at work? who doesn't want to see the next man to look like an amateur against him. Guerrero saying things like he was barely getting away from my punches doesn't change the fact that almost landing is the same as missing,

      70 hots is a bit much but I paid it and I re-watch the Ghost fight about 2 or 3 times a week. I appreciate what he does just like I appreciate power punchers, only thing is...you can always find a guy with power but I have yet to see a guy do what Floyd does and that's with limited power.

      I look at it like this...I'd take Floyds skill with a little more aggressive over a power puncher with very limited boxing/defense ability. Nothing is more frustrating than watching a homer run hitter wiff all night!!!

      I'd pay 70 again too!!

        I love watching Floyd fight because he's a boxing genius but hell no he's not exciting.

          Money May wouldnt be the human ATM machine if he wasnt exciting.

          Why has he set PPV records and outsold Poochiao with every common opponent?

          Because hes exciting. People wouldnt buy his fights if he wasnt the most exciting. Hes must see TV, hes the super bowl of boxing. Haters gonna hate but PPV numbers dont lie.

          You mad go to pacland or SMS promotions aka loserville.

            Guerrero is dumb as ****. "I was ALMOST landing" what a ******. Go watch any defensive master like Pernell or Ali, that is the WHOLE point, to move with finesse and as little as possible. Why move a foot away if you only have to move 3 inches away?

            That is why Guerrero is tired and worn and Mayweather is fresh in the late rounds. Making you barely miss is a sign of Mayweathers skills not that you almost won the fight.

              Actually most people buy hes fights because they want to see him KTFO so id say he's controversial not exciting but still a Boxing and a persona mastermind because even if people tune in to see the ahole get KTFO they are still tuning in. But the fights themselves not very exciting at all.

                @23 seconds, the one where Ali slips like a 5 punch combo with barely any movement, that is a sign of skill and conserving energy.




                Also the "fight" with Floyd Sr and Zelenoff, where Senior barely moved at all but Charlie missed every single time, because of the massive gap in skill between them.

                    Hatton
                    Mosley
                    Ortiz
                    Cotto

                    were all exciting fights IMO.

                    All of his fights at 140 and below were generally exciting. You got maybe 2-3 fights of him "boring" where he mostly boxed and that was Baldomir, JMM and Guerrero.

                    Someone that watches MMA and only Gatti fights may not enjoy it but I dont see how you cannot enjoy a highly skilled fighter who is landing such a high percent of his power shots.

                      Does he excite you as much as he excites me?

                      Sometimes when I need encouragement in life, I picture him there in the ring in his athletic body, full of sweat shining under the lime light for motivation.
