But he never really fights like a true fighter and has no passion or desire to destroy his opponent like top class fighters. He has never been regarded as a 'warrior' and for a good reason. There are too many other fighters that are better value for money and way more exiting to watch than PBF.

So how would he ever win boxer of the year?
That's a bit or short sighted in my opinion...but then again...boxing varies from person to person.

Many people just love to hate on Floyd & other technical boxers.

Sure it says a lot that a guy like Cotto (of whom I'm a huge fan) goes out there & fights & get's dropped & shows weaknesses & strengths all in one showing & then wins the fight...but he's a fighter...& that's the way it goes for him.

That's what you like? Sure...no biggie...I can buy that...but you have to look at it from my point of view.

Floyd goes out & boxes...truly boxes...picks his shots, throws, & pretty much always lands on the button. He's conservative...but brutally accurate & he often puts on a master class show. Everything is smooth, beautiful, & on the money.

I like that. I love Floyd, Wright, Hopkins, & the likes...many do not like that...but they are the last of a fleeting bunch of boxers.

It's just opinion...but when your as good as they are...many don't like it...but they nearly always win.

On top of the skills, show, & accuracey...I like that too.
