i disagree, at first i gave Floyd props but after rewatching the fight. Evander is right, Manny should have won.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

The problem that many casuals and fans of action fighters have with Floyd is that Floyd wins fights by avoiding engagement and killing the action rather than imposing it. He prevents his opponents from building some sort of offense and in return does just enough to win the round one round at a time with a scoring punch here and there. He did it with Canelo and he did it with Pac. Is it effective?...Sure it is. Is it entertaining? For the most part no.

Lets take a look at his fight with Canelo. Was it one sided? Sure it was based on round by round scoring. The way many Floyd fans here were speaking the following day you would have though that someone who didn't see the fight missed the second coming of Floyd/Gatti when in reality it was far from. Analyzing round by round, Floyd won each round by landing a few more scoring punches in each round. Not hurtful or punishing blows, but scoring touch punches. Same thing with is fight against Pac. Never once did he hurt or have Pac in any sort of trouble. He won this fight by limiting Pac's offense with his defense while countering and landing a few more shots albeit not hard damaging blows in the rounds that he won.

Its like Floyd treats boxing like a game of flag football or 2-hand touch rather than full contact and has found a way to be the best at it. He turned a combat sport into a game of "tag you're it" and has mastered it.

I guess when you're labeled the best of your generation the bar is set a bit higher for you and rightfully so. Fight fans in general expect more from someone labeling themselves as TBE.

Nice try.

Hit and not get hit. Its the literal definition of the sweet science. You wouldve HATED several fighter throughout history.

It is not Floyds job to let Manny hit him. How long have you been a boxing fan? Do you not understand that?

Floyds marketability comes from his aura of invincibility that comes with being undefeated along with his brash personality. It has nothing to do with his fighting style.

I can guarantee you that if Floyd had a record of 44-4, he wouldn't even be a ppv fighter.

Believe it or not. Some fans LOVE pure boxers.

Hit and not get hit baby.

"Its called boxing not knock outs"-Winky

Love how you are upset Floyd doesnt fight like some blood thirsty face first idiot warrior.

Blame Pacquiao not Floyd.


"If he just stand still eh I can hit him" Manny really said that.

Again, when you say "Floyd's style" you suggest he has been fighting like this his whole career. He hasn't.

He had sensational performances like Genaro, gatti, Corrales (rip to all) where he didn't fight like this. He didn't fight like this against ODH or Hatton or Shane or Cotto.

If being undefeated was all it took, undefeated fighters that fight the style you suggest would be household names and stars just like Floyd. They are not.

Face it dude, Floyd's style appeals to people even if it doesn't to you.

And I never said he should. I'm just pointing out why many casuals and fans alike dislike his style. They want to see Floyd destroy and conquer given his stature in the sport rather than be evasive and rely on doing as little as possible to win via a points decision.

I understand it. Am I a fan of his style? No. Do I respect his skills? Of course. I know what I'm looking at when I see him fight. Many casuals just see a guy who's scared to engage and/or get hit.
