    Why is Floyd boring? Because he throws 30 punches a round and they are single punches at that.

    Joe Calzaghe who has little power is the personification of exciting. By marked contrast Floyd is coma inducing.

    Floyd/Marquez? We all knew it was a mismatch. Fucking bore.
    Floyd/Baldomir? Eating shit would be more fun that watch that.
    Floyd/Ortiz? Sucker punch to end the fight and go home early. Crap.
    Floyd/Mosley? Way to carry an old man.

    I don't find Floyd boring but he has been in boring fights.

    Two fights of his i found boring was Marquez and Baldomir. Now i see what you mean by his amazing display of offense and defense but his opponents were completely overmatched.

    Marquez is a great fighter but not at welterweight and Baldomir was one of the worst champs the sport has seen imo.

    I liked his fights against Mosley, De La Hoya and Hatton. The Ortiz fight looked like it was going to be very good until he sucker punched his way to a KO win. I know it was legal but a lame way to end a fight.

    Love how Floyd winds you up so much these days that you forget your own previous posts. i distinctly remember you saying before floyd signed for mosley that he was ducking him and youd have respect if he signed as that was the only other fight worth making. surprise surprise miles is going senile and has forgotten lolz!

    Reminds me of when daxx said that baldomir was gonna "steamroll" floyd because he was too small and then cussed him out for the victory. its one big LOL in here sometimes!

    I do get amnesia with some of my previous posting. About 1 month is my limit for remembering things and I even have this weird habit of starting a thread with the same topic about once a year. It totally flies over me.

    However, I am not a massive Floyd fan and see no sense in hiding that.

    But you do dislike him for reasons that have nothing to do with boxing, and go to lengths to hide that imo. How come Toney get's such a pass from you Miles, is it simply because people dont rate him as highly? He's just as much of an assclown as Mayweather is surely?

    No, Toney is pure entertainment. He is better to watch than Mayweather and though a little slurred is a far more intelligent human being too. Plus we have never seen James Toney duck opponents. A true warrior. Even if you don't like Toney, you can't knock how he will taken on anybody.

    I warm to James Toney, Mayweather just leaves me cold.

    Oh give me a break Miles. Toney WAS pure entertainment, the guy hasn't been in a good fight for well over five years and has looked like dog shit for the most part. A FAR more intelligent human being? He's a mongoloid for christs sake(so if Floyd), and your last sentence basically reads as you cementing what I posted.

    I know how you feel i get amnesia full stop. A couple of days ago i wrote in a reply to the Fury -Povetkin thread that if Fury ever met Mcdermott, Mcdermott would knock him out, after which i was asked would that be third time lucky then ? What makes it worse is that i watched both previous Fury - Mcdermott fights and then had a long enough brain fart to forget both and spout my gob off

    Watching Floyd-Gatti right now on ESPN Classic.

    I am not feeling too bored.

    Of course, Gatti brings energy but Mayweather's technical superiority is what makes it a fight to watch.


    ... btw, Floyd hits Arturo in first round on a fuzzy break and scores a knockdown. Precursor to Ortiz fight - Floyd doesn't give any latitude in the break -

    I am usually at my most fiery too after a dash of shandy, so if you see a slightly high number of aggressive and hateful adjectives, then you know it is just a drunken rant. I forget them more easily too.

    Why compare them though Miles? That is solely your opinion, it's like saying Mayweather is a complete bore in contrast to Gatti. Look what happned when they fought. Mayweather is clearly a better fighter than Calzaghe was who has taken far less punishment against better opposition. You can nitpick any single fight anyone has ever had, it's really boring.
