    Clinching, spoiling. I enjoyed watching him when he was younger. He adjusted as he got older and did what je had to do but not my cup of tea.

        The older he became, he depended on pot shotting instead of placing muliple shots and combos.

        Stopped going for the stoppage and was happy to get the UD 12

            Always underestimated himself and never or rarely fought who people wanted him to, when they wanted him to.

            Don't get me wrong, he gas fought tough fighters but not necessarily the toughest available at the time.

            I mean he fought berto instead of of brook and you could do that for the majority of his career. Never really has given acceptable explanation for behaviour. Saying things like he is entitled to fight who he wants to he's paid his dues type replies

              Times when he could have clearly forced the issue and maybe stopped guys. Guerrero was ready for the taking i think but he still never capitalised on it. There was a point in the Canelo fight where Canelo clearly didn't fancy it and had backed off onto the ropes, Floyd hit him a few times then backed off. Maybe he wouldn't have stopped them but i think it wouldn't have been much of a risk to try by that point.

              At least when he was younger he was more willing to throw shots. I respect his ability and skill to adjust throughout his career as he got older, went through weights and had hand issues. It just never really made for great fights.

              Obviously he just had a will to win in the most low-risk way possible. Willing to stink out the place just to get a win, i suppose that takes some mental strength to do and not be influenced by the crowd to try and entertain them.

              Anyway, he was the best of his era but i wouldn't care if i never saw him fight again.

                Floyd's always in a win-win scenario. I hate that...

                  Lack of a killer instinct for whatever reason.
