Why do people blame Floyd for the Canelo fight being boring?

[BIG GUNZ]

I seen a lot of people accuse him as the reason why the Floyd/Canelo fight was boring, but I thought the complete opposite. Canelo was doing absolutely nothing in that fight. Floyd just pounded away on him & blocked most of Canelo's shots. It's not Floyd's fault that Canelo didn't know what to do in the fight.

Same reason they blame Rigo for the donaire fight. They don't know **** about boxing

[BigZigga]

Floyd was supposed to stand in front of him and let him hit him

Its because Floyd had the kid outclassed yet still chose to play it safe and due just enough to win a points decision.

The way I see it is, if you have the ability to go the extra mile to give the paying fans their money's worth then why not? For 12 rounds it was just 1 punch at a time and even took the 12th rounds off to run around the ring. It was as if Floyd was playing an elusive game of "tag your it"

[E.B.H]

Cause just once, attempt to win in great fashion.

Dont win like a bitch. yes you boxed nicely but thats it, you didnt win anyfans off your performance. Poeple who like floyd like him cause he black and or still undeafeated. No one says damn I need to see him fight again lol.


just like jim lampley says "ive been wathcing covering boxiner over 25 years my best fight I have seen is morales vs barrera two guys who are techinician but are willing to put themselves out their to win big" parapharsing of course.

I actually found the Rigo/donaire fight more entertaining. Rigo at least made attempts to and even succeeded in hurting the guy who was suppose to ko him.

He just makes it look that easy. Canelo may have thought he had the advantage in youth and weight and the entirety of Mexico behind him.

He just couldn't capitalize on it.

Yep in a nutshell , you have a fight and then you have boxing ; when a guy is so much more skilled than everybody else they will always look boring to casual fans that dont understand the sport because nobody can touch them .

Did you miss the first half of the fight where Canelo was the one on the backfoot trying to counter?

He's the promoter, matchmaker, manager, trainer and competitor of boring fights! So he's to blame!!! He has the public believing that his style of boxing is a top level boxing style.
He is a terrific counrt mover and puncher with good defensive skills because he doesn't punch in combination anymore in fear of getting hurt! He throws one or two shots then bails out weither theres punches being returned or not. He fights opponents who fight just like he does except his skill level is far above theirs! He makes sure that he avoids anyone who brings a high work rate to the ring (Pacman) thats not to say he can't win against but he avoids the best challengers because he's learned that smart business is better for him than real opposition. P)lus he's dooped his fans into thinking he's a complete action fighter when the facts are he's NOT! bottle fed his fans very nicely! Ray.
