    The only Floyd fight you can call exciting in terms of the casual fan definition was the Augustus/Burton fight it was a real back and forth mix up. and also the Chavez fight, anyone that has a guy coming at Floyd hard and he is willing to trade with them

    Floyd had a slew of one sided scientific beatdowns that were non competitive like Gatti and Corrales.

    Floyd is not an exciting fighter, he will tell you straight up he is not there to entertain but to win.

          He's the best in the world at what he does. Even though he isn't entertaining all the time, I'm glued to his fights

                  He doesn't break any of the rules and isn't harassing other posters, so what's the problem?

                      The only thing shameful is pretending I am saying something that only applies to floyd and then debating it. I'll make one more clarifying point.

                      In every fight you've watched when a guy his losing his corner tells him to go for the KO to win. How many times have you heard a trainer tell a guy who is winning a fight to do same?

                      As I said in the initial post, if floyd is ahead in round 8 or 9, his opponents have a choice. they can try for the KO to win, or they can settle for a UD loss. If the situation was reversed and floyd was losing-it would be on him to try and get the KO-not his opponent.

                      No figter that has firmly established a lead in a fight should risk losing the fight for the sake of getting a KO. A ko win doesn't count more or less than a UD win.
                      times i heard roach implore pac (even when ahead on points) to go for a close out - though this is not the same as a trainer imploring his fighter to go for the k.o - as a means to reverse the fight's outcome.....

                      think the term "ripe for the kill" is what it is.....
