    Yes but also one of the most boring world champions of all time as well.

    Which make him average in my book.

    I never found him boring. As a lifelong student of boxing I appreciated all the things Floyd did right in the ring and how much practice perfecting that style must have taken. I understand why casual fans find him boring, his fights weren't ever in the mould of Hagler vs Hearns.... That just wasn't his style. But to watch a man make very good opponents miss in the way he did was something special to me. As an old man he completely took apart boxings brightest young star in Canelo, a man who walks around 30lbs heavier than Floyd. He did that by using those skills he must have worked so very hard to perfect.

    I love the Gatti vs Ward esque brawls as much as the next man but I also love to watch a master of the theory of the sweet science at work too. That theory is to hit and not be hit, Floyd mastered that!!

    Boring really ? He was one of the most exciting boxers to watch when he was in his prime. People forget floyds an old man now out of his prime and has been for some years now

    In his youth he was exciting to an extent.

    But no Floyd fight would make my list of fav fights to watch.

    Amen.

    Beating Canelo was good but being one of the best defensive fighter of all time is the most that can be said about Floyd.

    I always get a hearty laugh about the perspective that being good isn't about how good you are. Thanks for being absurd.

    Thanks but being the above is far away from being the best ever.

    Id put an exciting fighter with 5 losses ahead of a boring fighter with 0 losses.

    Every time.
