Is It Just Me Or Has Floyd Mayweather Jr Not Been As.....

[LukeH]

Against Ricky Hatton it was a dirty/clinching one punch at a time fight, from both men. And to me it wasn't an overly impressive performance until the KO.

True, but I don't think the problem is his skills as such. The problem now is that he picks and chooses when he tries for a K.O, if at all.

Yes, he plays it safe..but look at Round 8 of the Hatton fight - He turned it on and absolutely lit Hatton up. Ricky was crying for mummy by the end of that round. He could probably fight at that pace for the whole fight...he just chooses not to these days. Hence he gets the "boring" tag from anyone who hasn't followed him at 140 and below.

Those that have know he is far from boring and is one of the most exciting offensive fighters of this era when he chooses to be.

I don't care how you split that apple. He choses to be boring all the time. I do not think that he tried to KO Hatton. I think Hatton tried to go for broke, and couldn't hit him. I actually give Hatton props for not abandoning his game plan. With his tiny little arms he wasn't going to be able to compete from the outside, and on the inside he was getting elbowed and broken apart by the ref.. Floyd hit him once at a time until he could just hit the heavy bag that was Ricky Hatton standing there in front of him by the 8th or 9th round.. Nice win for Floyd, no doubt, but don't think b/c he got the KO that makes him exciting WHATSOEVER.

Floyd showed zero class in that fight, and did not win me over as a fan.

Against Marquez he tried to KO him in the 2nd or 3rd and gave up after that. First time I'd seen Floyd go fro a KO in AGES! But, alas, He was content to box from the outside for 10 more rounds against the little featherweight.

I will give Floyd a ton of credit if he tries to fight Shane. But he will not. I really wish him luck against Sugar. I hope he blocks every punch with his stupid ****ing face.

Are you a Pac fan? I seriously doubt if Mayweather gives a f*ck that you find his 'boxing skills' boring or not. Boxer's couldnt care less if they are exciting for your ass sitting at home, they want to make money, the sensible thing would be to make money while not getting hurt. If you can't appreciate sombody's 'boxing skills' go into your city centre and watch the piss-heads go at it.
