yep...if u look at it right ......boxing purist should love floyd.

showed u can make ppv money without being a ko artist or wild brawler.:yeshrug:

Breh my favorite fighters are BHOP and Ward I love the fact that Floyd brought so many to appreciate that style. You think Floyd stans got it rough with nikkas calling him boring try being a Bhop stan in the 90s :russ:

nikkas even called Roy boring back then. :dead: Roy was out here breaking the sound barrier and shyt with his punches and the cac boxing media were like ZZZZZZZ

I think a lot of people find it boring because they can't appreciate or don't catch the small stuff in fights. You have to be pretty knowledgeable to catch that stuff and even then dudes who do catch it aren't entertained by it. It's an acquired taste. :manny:

show this to a casual

and they are like boring :camby:

meanwhile we see a guy who has been hit with so many jabs up top and downstairs that he is falling for every feint, we see ring generalship and even then it can still be boring to some and I get that but I like this type of stuff. It's the same reason I rewatched Floyd/Maidana 1& 2 and caught some stuff that I didn't the first time, especially in the 2nd fight which many felt was boring. :manny:

Yet you don't feel the same way about hopkins

they said the same thing about Ali

he's 38 years old

that's like bashing jordan on the wizards from not dunking from the free throw line

he's boxing greats fall off after 30 and takes Ls, beatings, etc

Floyd is still undefeated, it's unbelievable, considering he has two fukked up hands

also why does anybody listen to a pencil neck geeks opinion about sports
when has this cac even talked about boxing before

Age has nothing to do with if a fight is boring. You can't say a fight is boring if the fighters are 25 but the same fight isn't boring if the fighter is 38.

young guys don't fight like old guys, do you know anything about sports, have you even heard of mayweather besides the pass 5 years

casuals don't watch fights for the action they watch them for the names

it was a great fight on the undercard but none of these fools even mention it becasue they didn't watch it

stop talking about the fight game you have no clue about it

See this is the problem, you are talking about the fight from the viewpoint of a legit boxing fan. To you the art of boxing isnt boring. Unfortunately for you the overwhelming majority of the people who watch these big PPV fights are not real boxing fans, they are casuals and casuals dont want to see boxing they want to see a brawl. A casual is not going to watch a boxing match and take into account the age of the boxer in determining if the fight was boring or not. For you the fact that Floyd can still fight at the level he is currently at his age is amazing and seeing that display is entertaining, again.....a casual does not care about that.

For the record i never stated that I thought Mayweather was boring, i said that this isnt the first time someone said his fights were boring.

I'm not talking about you or people who watch boxing on the regular

I'm talking about the espn talking head types who always try to talk about boring fights when they don't talk about boxing unless it's about mayweather being boring

This is it on the head. To casuals, who largely only pay attention to publicized fights, Mayweather is boring. They want aggressiveness and action. They don't care, know, or respect the sweet science. It is why Guerrero can get away with saying Mayweather ran and was chicken and casuals and mainstream media believe it. They will say Guerrero or Maidana are better fighter's then watch them get schooled and then say Mayweather didn't do anything. Personally why I felt people said Pacquiao would beat Mayweather. Pacquiao is more exciting to watch by those standards, so to the casuals more exciting = better skills.

As boxing fans we need casuals to help ratings and get fighters purses so boxing stays economically healthy and it gets promoted more mainstream. We just can't get in discussions with them or take anything they say seriously because it is pointless.
