Is Floyd Mayweather an exciting boxer to watch?

[Infamous]

I do the same except I watch Pacquaio-Clottey or Pacquaio-Moseley.

Bad comparison, Mosley was being a b.itch and Clottey was stuck in his shell.

he used to be back in the day....now he just potshots his way to a 12 round victory - i wish the f/cker would go for the ko more often, he has the handspeed and power to do it....

Really?

Wladimir has stopped 8 of his past 10 opponents, and tried to stop all 10.

Floyd has stopped just 2 of his past 10 opponents (one with a sucker punch), and never even tried to knock out most of them.

I think Wlad is by far the more exciting fighter.

Come on dude I hate Mayweather as a boxer because I think he ducks everyone but even I can admit he's way more exciting then that glass chinned robot jabbing machine. Wald is so boring HBO won't even show his fights.

Owned in your own thread. Truly pathetic.

Boxing is often promoted on the promise of 'an exciting fight'. But it isnt 'sports entertainment' like WWE.

It is about skill, scoring, tactics and talent. Real boxing fans should be able to appreciate what Floyd does. No matter how hard an opponent goes at him, how fast they are, how big they are, Floyd finds a way to adapt, control and dominate them.

Excitement is overrated.

Floyd is to Rios, what Beethoven is to the Rihanna.

Real boxing fans should be able to admit Floyd cherry picks his opponents and looks great against 2nd tier competition or guys he has an advantage over. Otherwise he don't fight them at all. If you want to talk about real boxing fans then any real fan thats been around even a little can/should see that a mile away bro.

Only if the PPV undercard is good will I be paying a 65 dollar fee to watch Mayweather. I appreciate Mayweather's skill, but it's hard to forgive him for fights he's missed and pay to watch him hand pick his way to retirement with this new deal he got.

Both fights put me to sleep nonetheless.

Gonna be a big fat no from me.

People call Wlad boring but that's not true. I'd much rather watch him than a boring potshot fest from Floyd. Wlad knocks people out.

Floyd just isnt exciting..there isn;t harm in that its just that when most fans tune in on PPV to watch a fist fight they expect fireworks. why do you think whitaker was never on ppv? Floyd shuldnt be PPV but hes tricked enough fans into paying for whatever.

The last Wlad fight was better than the last mayweather fight.

Anyone can be exciting if you appreciate boxing. But sometimes a KO makes things funner
