    Let's face facts-his most boring fights have been ODH, Ghost, Maidana 2, Canelo and Manny. In each case the opponent stopped fighting the way we all expected, except Maidana 2 where Floyd fought like a small black wlad.
    I thought the Judah fight was boring. It's subjective anyway. First four rounds, sure, it was good. After that it was a boring chess match ish fight. the most exciting thing about the fight was Roger's fight imo.

    Guerrero was a stinkfest too imo. Not rewatchable at all. Maidana 2, yes. Manny, yes.

    Dela Hoya was an OK fight for me. He fought until the last round and it was close. Canelo was a great fight for me. He showcased all of his skills in that fight.

    With regards to most of his fights not being boring - I think that's certainly subjective and depends on who you compare him too. I definitely think most of his current fights are pretty boring. But of course it's not his fault when people just give up.

    Pre 2008, he was a pretty exciting fighter. But 12 round decisions are not something that'll get the juices flowing for most boxing fans incl. me.

      the above posters voted never. How can they possibly be taken seriously?

      The common bond among all of them-they hate floyd and picked Manny to beat Floyd.
      The common theme with all of the floyd cum guzzlers is race. I wonder if some posters back floyd just to see a guy, similar to them, be "undefeated"

      IMO, floyd is boring as fk (and I believe that his career has been scripted)so I could give a sht if he was 120-0. He is boring as hell to watch and I dont waste my time...

        Fair point about zab, there was all types of ****ery besides the actual fight.

        Yes it is subjective. My guess is HBO and SHO wouldn't have invested so heavily in floyd if he was boring.

        Here on NSB he isn't popular and wins his fights by a large margin so you expect those that do not like him to over exaggerate and complain.

        Hopefully Berto fights with more heart and spirit than Manny and Canelo.

          Are you suggesting all Floyd fans on NSB are black and that is why they like him? If so, that is rather racist and ignorant. How would you know if a poster is black?

          So if you do not waste your time and do not watch, how do you know he is boring?

            The question was which Floyd fight made you go "WOW" and no fights fit that description. There are 20+ Manny fights that made me go WOW, same with Barrera, Morales, same with Kovalev, same with countless other exciting fighters.

            The fact is that Floyd is a boring uninspiring fighter, a spoiler that relies on slowing the pass down. Slower pace= less punches=less excitement. This is not complicated to understand.

            • I said WOW on him vs Pacquaio.

              Their was a punch Mayweather throw that was with serious bad intentions and quick too.

              But vs Gatti I said wow talk about a beat down, against Corrales aswell and most all his other fights I find myself saying wow this dude can really box.

              .

                Then you should stop talking about him so much.

                  Well, HBO was with him when he was an exciting boxer-puncher.

                  But Showtime obviously didin't invest in him because he was exciting, but because he's a money making machine. Quite rare actually that a fighter who's not perceived to be overly exciting to watch is so well paid. Kudos.

                  But you can ask the general public, NSB, "experts", whoever. I don't think many will say a Mayweather fight is super exciting. That's just the honest truth.

                    He needs to be denigrated for his boring, lime light hogging ways though.
