Let's be honest...Mayweather was boring

[joseph5620]

]I find him boring because he rarely lands a flush shot. [/B]I don't know where people get this he's super accurate talk from. But 90% of the time nothing is landing heavily, not to mention he's not even landing as much as is seemingly perceived.

You're still just as dumb as ever I see.

He was exciting earlier in his career than he got very cautious. One fight that was building to be an exciting performance by him was the Ortiz fight. He was f#cking him up with ease. Great fighter but a bit boring. Atill watched is fight since I love boxing

Do you remember that Mayweather gif thread for the Pacquiao fight? Probably the saddest gif thread ever.

"Mayweather's boring" = I just started watching boxing in 2010.

He was boring to you because you aren't a fan of boxing. You should try dog fighting. It's all action 24/7. And you can get drunk watching it.

Floyd has definitely had his share of dull fights but its a gross exaggeration to call his entire career boring. Floyd vs Cotto was way more entertaining that Canelo vs Cotto. Now I agree that Floyd did not take many risks late in his career and I never was a fan of his 12th round 500m sprint when he knows he has the fight in the bag and instead of sitting down and closing out a fight in exciting fashion he just opts to prance around the ring. But as a fan who does appreciate high level boxing I can honestly say that I have been entertained by more Floyd fights than not. And without his hand injuries he'd likely have more KO's on his resume.

He didn't do much to Maidana or Canelo neither. Pacquiao has hurt everyone he's fought, except maybe Clottey.

[Sweet Jones]

Surely. The main things that made Floyd boring were his use of distance control and his general non-willingness to fight in transition.

Lead, reset. Counter, reset. Jump halfway across the ring in response to a jab, reset. For 36 minutes. **** was like NyQuil.

Ironically, dumb fans said the same thing about the man in your avatar.
