How come people don't call Mayweather boring?

Originally posted by Capital Punch View PostLet's be frank, we now know why he has a safety first policy - his chin is fragile! I was honestly bored after about round 6/7 as I knew we were looking at another UD. Mayweather's tactics never altered throughout - barring that second round when he was seriously wobbled and holding on - it was high guard, side on with the chin under the left shoulder, never throwing anything that might compromise his defense. It all added up to a convincing UD and DULL fight. People slate Wladimir Klitschko for being a dull fighter but how come Mayweather gets away with an even more boring style? The guy is no showman - certainly no Leonard, Duran, Hearns or Hagler! He grinds out wins.
Pac-Man is the real star of that weight class. He puts on a show and gives it everything. Pac-Man>Mayweather. Pac-Man would batter him, that's my view.
Also, I disagree with the 'fragile chin' comment, if it was that fragile, Mosley would've sparked him last night in the 2nd.

He's a superb defensive fighter granted, but there's a reason for it and it was exposed in that second round. A younger hungrier version of Mosely might well have stopped him. Mosely was knackered from about round 8 on, but Mayweather just wouldn't step it up, I assume because he feared another shot on that chin. Pacquiao is a more exciting fighter because he goes all out for stoppages. To be honest I'm not even sure Pacquiao needs to fight Mayweather at all.

am a pac fan and i dont think pbf fighting mosley is boring at all. yes, pbf has a safety-first policy, however he showed the world his mastery of boxing, which is to hit and not be hit, the ring generalship and the IQ inside the ring.

Mayweather didn't once open up on Mosely, didn't once come out of his shell. And my point is if Wladimir is a dull fighter, Mayweather is even more dull. Certainly no entertainer. And his chin is now suspect.
Chin? Wlad has been down more times in one round than Mayweather has his entire life. Dont make me post the Puritty vids where he is recoiling to the floor like a little girl. But beyond that Wlad is boring for the entire fight, even if he gets a KO. Once in a while he'll have an exciting knockout like the Austin one, but for the most part its a bore fest.
A Mayweather UD has more highlights than a Wlad tko: Fact!
