Sadly Mayweather Jr will never receive the credit that he deserves. His style is an acquired taste that appeals to a very small demographic of fans.
To his credit he was able to market himself as a villian and capitalized on being the heel. As a result, he became the fighter that everyone tuned in to see so that they would be able to witness somebody finally shut him up. So far it hasnt happened but I feel that ever since the Pac fight his drawing power will suffer.
Personally I'm no fan of his style but I give credit where credit is due. He's a defensive master who has the ability to nulify whatever his opponent brings into the ring. I'd just prefer to see a fighter actually fight and bring the fight to his opponent rather than being a points fighter.
