    I don't find Floyd boring but he has been in boring fights.

    Two fights of his i found boring was Marquez and Baldomir. Now i see what you mean by his amazing display of offense and defense but his opponents were completely overmatched.

    Marquez is a great fighter but not at welterweight and Baldomir was one of the worst champs the sport has seen imo.

    I liked his fights against Mosley, De La Hoya and Hatton. The Ortiz fight looked like it was going to be very good until he sucker punched his way to a KO win. I know it was legal but a lame way to end a fight.

    Love how Floyd winds you up so much these days that you forget your own previous posts. i distinctly remember you saying before floyd signed for mosley that he was ducking him and youd have respect if he signed as that was the only other fight worth making. surprise surprise miles is going senile and has forgotten lolz!

    Reminds me of when daxx said that baldomir was gonna "steamroll" floyd because he was too small and then cussed him out for the victory. its one big LOL in here sometimes!

    Joe Calzaghe who has little power is the personification of exciting. By marked contrast Floyd is coma inducing.
    Why compare them though Miles? That is solely your opinion, it's like saying Mayweather is a complete bore in contrast to Gatti. Look what happned when they fought. Mayweather is clearly a better fighter than Calzaghe was who has taken far less punishment against better opposition. You can nitpick any single fight anyone has ever had, it's really boring.

    Floyd was boring whilst at welterweight very early on and certainly avoiding dangerous fights but he is a class act now and offensive when he wants to be.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    anyway..a question. i always hear "floyd is boring" but i cant remember a fight since..perhaps Baldomir that can be considered boring? (i still enjoyed that fight too)

    Lets look at his last fee fights :

    Vs Ortiz - action packed 4 rounds and controversial ending. dissapointing but not boring.

    Vs Mosley - offensive masterclass. 2nd round drama. no way boring

    Vs Marquez - never understood people calling this boring. Amazing offensive and defensive display of boxing. the purists would have been in awe (im not talking about the weight issue here)

    VS Hatton - scrappy but filled with action. awesome round 8 and and a sweet ending.

    Vs ODLH - take away the hype and this fight a pretty damn good chess match where Floyd came closest to losing. think back to when you were watching it. You cant have been bored.

    Ok so what fight and specifically why in that fight did you find floyd boring?

    Discuss!
    He is boring.
