    Why would that matter ?

    He's a cautious fighter who fights to win, and he usually does.

    The few times i seen him get hit he did not take them well Mayweather has not taken enough shots to judge his chin the jury is still out on his chin.

    It would of been good if Mayweather just for once gave up his saftey first approach and go for broke am i wishing for too much?

    The times I've seen him come remotely close to going full "toe to toe" he's usually outgunned.

    Mayweather fought in the pocket in front of Alvarez for almost the entire fight and walked Mosley down from the middle of the second round onward. If you mean standing in front of someone trading punches with them, Mayweather is too smart to enter into a toughman contest with someone who can only win that way.

    Exactly. Why would mayweather stand toe to toe when he can easily outbox someone. Would be pretty stupid

    Why is it that when ever people criticize Floyd for being boring, *****s get all butthurt.

    Just because you like watching him doesn't mean everyone does. If we did a poll right now asking a simple yes or no as far as is Mayweather boring, we'd have at least 70% saying he is.

    Hes boring as **** and if he took some risks every now and then he wouldn't have that reputation stick to him so strongly.

    Who's butthurt? Like someone else said "fight to your strengths, not your weaknesses". If he goes toe to toe then that benefits his opponent and it IS stupid to give them that advantage. Cut the ***** ****.

    And being "boring" doesn't mean ****. You think he's boring, I think he's a very intelligent boxer.
