    He has the most sublime in the skillset in the game and yet people consider him boring. I find his fights entertaining...but maybe that's because I like watching someone outsmart/out maneuver his opponent as much as watching an all out war.

    Because they grew up watching guys like Chavez Sr. and Mike Tyson.

    He's so dominant in his fights, that the majority of people who are tuning in to see him lose, become disinterested five rounds in when it becomes clear that the other guy has no chance.

    Because casual fans think boxing should look like a Rocky movie.

    Floyd's ****ing boring. Yes, the clinics are amazing, but there's no one on this planet who would take Floyd running from Marquez in the last 20 seconds of the 12th round over Floyd standing and trading.

    It's like David Fincher's ZODIAC - beautifully shot, choreographed almost to perfection, nail-biting, chilling, and an all around piece of A+ cinema, but there's NO ****ING WAY I am watching that **** a 3rd time.

    To each to their own I guess. I find his fights entertaining but I can respect others who prefer a slugfest

    Personally I find him very exciting but some people prefer slugfests rather than technical boxing, so it's just a matter of opinion.

    I don't follow hip hop, rap, or R & B. I can't name a ****ing album or song by 2Pac. Is Eminem dead or alive? I don't ****ing know.

    :conf

    Classic rock or metal only.
