I've found pretty much all of his fights to be exciting, or interesting to watch. Except a few of his fights above Jr Welterweight. At Super Feathweight he was a pleasure to watch, because he could be a boxer/puncher, because he had pretty heavy hands at that weightclass.
Hahaha, you're big fans, of course you would think that, you two having a debate on whether or not Floyd is boring would be awesome
Ice: What did you think of the Sharmba Mitchell fight?
JT: I thought it was great!
Ice: So did I!
Whether a guy is boring or not is obviously pretty subjective. Unless you're talking about the Baldomir fightOverall I think he's been a fairly good watch.

Well to be honest Ouma i don't know how anyone, could find these fights boring.
Jose Luis Castillo 1
Emmanuel Augustus
Angel Manfredy
Genaro Hernandez
Diego Corrales
Jesus Chavez
Phillip N'dou
DeMarcus Corley
Arturo Gatti
Zab Judah
ETC.
I tend to like skillful fighters over exciting brawling type fighters, of course i like to see a good toe to toe war like anybody else. But i just love the way a good boxer breaks down an opponent, like James Toney for example.
I agree ICE, those were for the most part fun fights. Some might have been a bit too one sided to be considered really exciting (I always though the N'dou fight was a bit overrated as a good fight, that was an ass kicking, N'dou was just tough)
Zab Judah? I don't know, I haven't seen it in forever but I thought it was more an ok fight.

The fights with Baldomir and even De La Hoya wee snoozers, for me anyways. Hatton fight was hilarious in its own way. The Gatti{RIP}fight was very entertaining if you like slaughterhousesThe Judah debacle was great. But yeah those Angel Manfredy days were good fun and he was dynamic. I just think he's a butt hole but you'd have to be an intern at the Institute for the Blind to ignore his talent.

I still haven't heard of JMM's feedback on this. Imo he should speak up. It seems like he doesn't wanna offend Floyd or something.

Baldomir
Judah
DLH
to name a few......
I will be the first to say though up until he left 135 I was a fan all of a sudden after 135 he turned into a boring fighter
Do not get me confused on his talent, I respect what he is capable of but I am strictly talking on a PPV basis
Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!
You found the Zab Judah fight boring ? i found it exciting because Floyd Mayweather Jr looked in trouble early on, which made it exciting because you wasn't sure how it was going to go, then he comeback and started to destroy Zab Judah with some beautiful boxing.
Then the whole riot thing made it even more exciting. I didn't think the ODLH fight was too bad either, i remember alot of people on this site saying it was a better fight, than they expected it to be.

That's exactly where i stand with Floyd! At the lower weights he was very exciting to watch; amazing skill mixed with knockout power. He did have some boring fights but to label him a "boring fighter" is personal preference, not a fact.
My negative feelings towards the guy is based on his mouth. Calling himself the "cash cow," saying he's the best fighter to ever fight, certain excuses he throws out there about why he doesn't fight certain people, etc. I respect the fighter, but I don't respect the person.
I'll admit to Floyd fighting a more dangerous version of Oscar. But did you really expect Manny who fought at 130 at March of 2008 to be able to fight Oscar at 154 by December of the same year?

In the Baldomir fight everyone who didn't leave in the 9th, 10th, or 11th rounds were booing. Rarely if ever is such a negative reaction seen in a championship fight, but floyd managed to get one. And baldomir has one of the lower ko % you can get. Floyd still didnt take a single risk. That's why people were walking out early, that's why people boo'd him, that's why he isn't the PPV draw he seems to think he is.
Fact remains his opponents are the main draw in every mega fight he has been in, not him.
