If you're a real boxing fan and not someone who only cares about knockouts and blood, pretty much all of Floyd's fights are exciting. People that say Floyd is boring shouldn't be watching boxing in the first place, they should be watching "Felony Fights" on Youtube or early UFC videos.

Mayweather vs Jesus Chavez Chavez throws 90+ punches a round Mayweather stays close to him very entertaining
Mayweather vs Diego Corrales Excellent skill from Mayweather and entertaining
Mayweather vs Emanuel Augustus Slugfest great action
Mayweather vs Jose Luis Castillo 1
Mayweather vs Arturo Gatti One sided but great power punching from Mayweather i love watching this fight
Mayweather vs Demarcus Corley Mayweather wobbled for split second entertaining fight especially round 4
Mayweather vs Ndou Good inside work by both men round 5 was one the rounds of the year
i mean no disrespect but only one of these fights happend in the WW division. most of these fights happend in the lower weight classes.. thats even before pbf was noted p4p since rjj was the king back then.
so why did he abandon his once great and exciting style to the one he is now?
Simple Mayweather is above his natural weight he is in there with bigger guys you can't stand toe to toe with much bigger fighters when your way above your best fighting weight takes alot of steam out of your legs standing toe to toe with naturally bigger opponents you gotta fight smart.

P4P status occurs when a natural lightweight (some say super featherweight) can beat a jr. middleweight of Oscar Delahoya's caliber based on technique, speed, talent, and ability alone..... not to mention what he did at welterweight and junior welterweight
Oscar was by far the bigger, stronger, more seasoned fighter and Floyd OUTBOXED him. Great fighters eventually lose when they go a weight division or two too high. An elite fighter will still find a way to win.
World titles in 5 different weight classes while being undefeated at the age of 30, with almost 40 fights = p4p #1

I've seen almost all of them, I respect your opinion but don't share it.
So you think that Mayweather was running in those fights??
???
Of course he doesn't run if he feels there is no longer a threat. It's the threat factor that makes him run until the other fighter is too tired to continue the chase. Then and only then does he pour it on.
pbf is a yawnfest to watch.

These were yawnfest's to watch aswell ??

That is the post of the topic right there. Well done man, good post. Man if Floyd is boring just take a look at other fighters resumes and try and pick as many great fights as Mayweathers got. I guarantee you there will only be a few fighters like the Gatti's and Benn's of the world. Yet Mayweather is undefeated and has no holes in his game! (That have been exposed yet). Truly amazing. If you know boxing, you can appreciate Mayweather..like him or not! Period!

I'd agree. His fight with Gatti is proof of that.
Re: Floyd in any good fights?
Just watched round 4 of the corley fight again. What the hell was Hatton talking about more excitement in the Castillo fight than Mayweathers whole career. That round was one of the best rounds i have ever seen, non stop action for the whole 3 minutes. Hatton better hope he can hurt Floyd otherwise he is gonna get beat up bad on the inside.

ICE COLD BOXING

Not every second of floyds fights are boring, his opponents do make it iteresting to watch from time to time :D
To Ice as well as all the others. We are all just going to have to agree to disagree on the subject of floyd mayweather. Time will tell with him. Some think he's already proven himself to be in the top p4p of all time, some feel he is well on his way to that goal, others feel he has a long way to go.
Lord knows noone posting on this or any other sight is out there helping him get to the top or standing in his way and preventing his ascent, we are all just dukking it out on a forum for crying out loud.
