    GGG is one of the most exciting fighters in the game. Mayweather is at the other end of the spectrum.

      Just a matter of preference and what you look for in a fighter. I like boxing on the whole, but it isn't what it used to be in terms of "even match ups".

      Floyd is technically brilliant, but his choice of opponents often result in the performance we always see. GGG is the more exicting fighter at the moment, but we will see if that momentum continues when he steps up in competition.

          Personally I would rather watch a fighter with the style and results of GGG, but you can not deny that when Floyd fights the entire boxing world stops and watches for a moment. Love him or hate him that to me says that Floyd is more interesting to watch despite the fact that myself and many others may prefer what GGG is doing lately.

              GGG just packed the garden with 8k fans. Floyd routinely sells 14k plus seats in Vegas and would surely sell out the Garden. fans spending their money shows clearly they think floyd is more exciting.
              Floyd was boooooooed in his last fight. GGG was not.

              In Floyd fights, it really depends on the opponent. If the opponent can get to Floyd, then it can get exciting. If not, health comes first and we got pot shotting or holding or elbowing then move 10 steps to the left/right, repeat, rinse for 12 rounds. On occasion, you can replace pot shotting with counter shots but the formula is the same.

              You can be a Floyd fan but he is not in this to please the fans. Health comes first. Excitement from him will depend on risk. If risk is too high, excitement level generated from Floyd drops even further.

              With GGG, it's him who will provide the excitement and it will all depend on how good the opponent is. If the opponent can provide relatively more offense, the excitement will increase as well. Some will pack it in after getting hit the first time. So the entertainment will be on GGGs shoulder .........

                Floyd vs augustus, castillo 1, coralles, judah, cotto, mosley, maidana 1, ortiz, hernadez, gatti is first grade entertaiment, love to see that fights again and again on youtube.

                i've i seen GGG fights 5 times live on tv now and honestly can say none of his fights is worth remembering.

                  Floyd no contest. I love that thing where he moves his shoulder and steps backwards.

                    GGG has the more exciting fighting style but Floyd has given the more exciting performances. GGG has never given us a Hatton/Mayweather moment yet. The first Maidana fight was exciting as well. So far every GGG opponent has been hand picked and over matched.

                      I voted Mayweather to make GGG fanboys mad.
