Some of this difference of opinion is just that people from different countries enjoy certain things. I'm to understand that alot of European boxing fans like the technical aspect of it more than the big punches and knockouts (not to say they don't enjoy that stuff). But Americans enjoy the action packed fights alot more than we do the chess matches so to speak. In my opinion, that's what makes Floyd boring. As many people have pointed out, his safety first approach. If he wants to do that, fine, he's the one fighting, it works for him. But it makes for boredom for the fans. He had opportunites to go for the knockout or atleast beat to a bloody pulp Mosely and DLH, and possibly marquez, but chose to drag it to decision because he didn't want to take ANY risk, none. The reason Floyd sells so many PPV's is because he sells the fight with his mouth, not with his boxing. He's such an ass that people pay to see him lose. Unfortunately, he's going to make sure that boxing never sees the fight that I think he owes us. He doesn't need to fight Kahn, or rematch Ortiz, or any of that. Just Manny. That will cement his legacy. But it's too risky. And Floyd doesn't take risks.
