Is Floyd Mayweather an exciting boxer to watch?

[RisAri0]

As a boxing fan, the best fighters excites me the most, the ones on top of their game and no one else does it better than Floyd. Yes I get excited whenever he fights, why? He's the ultimate conundrum of the fight game. There's not a fighter around his weight class thats near his level of skill & expertise. I always wonder that if only Andre Ward or Bernard Hopkins was close to Floyd's size, only then would we be able to see somebody match wits & ring IQ to him and expose the possible blueprint on how to beat Money Mayweather.

The bottom line is that Floyd is for the most part exciting to watch.

- Gatti
- Hatton
- Corrales
- Corley
- Judah
- SSM
- Cotto
- Guerrero
- Jesus Chavez
- Ndou
- JLC (first fight)
- Mitchell

were all very good fights to watch. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IT'S ONLY THE HATERS WHO DON'T FIND HIM EXCITING BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY DO NOT LIKE HIM1!!! If he was a fighter you liked the performances would be "virtuoso" "epic" "awesome" etc

He always only fights sure wins and then he fights to outpoint them. So I say no. He picks fights the same way he fights, very carefully.

I personally think if you are a fan of the sweet science, he's a beautiful fighter to watch. I mean his fights have never really been FOTY candidates but I really like seeing him put his skills on display. Especially in his last few fights as he has probably lost a step and is forced to stay in front of his opponents a bit more.

There it is. The perfect words.

Disgusting isn't it?

Hell no. Thank god I'm not one of those "purists" who try to be cool by calling boxers like Rigo and Floyd exciting, and the real warriors of the ring like Marquez and Rios lame

He used to be earlier in his career. Now, not so much. The only fight I was entertained by in recent years was the Cotto fight, but that was because Cotto took it to Floyd.

I remember that fight, it was just a little bit after Pacquiao destroyed Cotto. Too bad he wouldn't fight Cotto back before when Cotto was begging for a fight with him at 140.

Showtime/CBS better get more interns. They're losing this poll.

I find every Floyd fight extremely entertaining and fascinating. He is amazing in there. He does things in there other fighters can't even dream of doing. I feel Floyd is must watch TV.

The absolute truth and they're boxing equivalent to hipsters. Every time I hear the term 'pure boxer' I dont know whether to laugh or puke. I have been into the sport for thirty years and had never heard that phrase until it dribbled off the keyboard of a floyd fluffer in this forum. Sad ****s.
