    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.
    Excitement is overated? I wouldn't say that is quite the case.
    I'd rather watch Bhop And ward fights in slow mo than one Floyd fight. But thats just me. It depends on the person on what you prefer. Nothing wrong with it lol

      Floyd has only been a fraction the action fighter he was against Ndou, Augustus, Corrales, ect. in recent years and for the majority of his career overall. HE CAN DO MORE AND DOES NOT. Younger fans have a harder time understanding this. No he is absolutely not exciting whatsoever at this point. I would say he's "interesting" to watch. No more than that.

        I like to watch him, but not worth $70.

        Can't really see the casuals buying in the next after his performance with Guerrero; really not many compelling match up for him right now.

        Khan...lol, no thanks.

            thats actually a good way to put it. Not exciting but interesting.

              He is exciting to fools and fools only. Maybe these fools don't pay on his PPV fights. Delahoya should get the blame for this, he put his face to boxing fans. And now, the sport is suffering.

                I know he made an excuse about hurting his hand, but he's not wearing any cast and he says he'll fight again in September.

                Do you think it's wise to pay $70 for a Floyd Mayweather PPV?.
                Are you ******ed? he has another 5 fights to go, and is 35, he comfortably won the fight with ease, why get the ko? if his hand wasn't hurt so bad he would've got it in the 8th.

                      I would say yes he is if you appreciate shear skill, technique and no if you like a good ol fashion slug feast! Mayweathers ability to hit someone and make them miss is beautiful to watch! I mean the guy is a master in the ring! You can compare him to a bruce lee or a Michael jordan of boxing!

                      like him or not his skills are on a whole another level much like the guys I previous stated!
