Floyd fast fighters.

[rjj tszyu]

Mosley was fast as.... Even the old version that Floyd fought was no slouch. Zab Judah was fast back when Floyd fought him too. People criticise Floyd too much for me. He was fucking excellent at what he did. One of the greatest defensive fighters ever and excellent at negating opponents strengths.

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!!
