Is there a Boxing Legend more Boring than Floyd Mayweather Jr?

That's just a starter to see if you're capable of being honest.

 

Wlad gathered stadiums in Germany, how people weren't interested?

And he scored some brutal knockouts, even in boring (otherwise) fights, like against Chambers. Floyd couldn't break an egg with his punches.

 

Augustus was always very exciting to watch, a lot of his fights were far more exciting than this. While Floyd was often incredibly boring even in the lower weight classes. His fight against Jesus Chavez was beyond awful, boring as hell. Fight against Carlos Hernandez wasn't much better either.

 

Your proof is a fight vs a bum?

Ok. I'll give you this one. Floyd had nice performances. The problem is the whole he was "amazing to watch when he was PBF" is super overblown. He had more good fights in that era, but stinkers too. People act like he was generally exciting then. Nah. Overall, he was a boring fighter if we consider his whole career.

 

After Corrales, though, he had 5 boring performances in a row, with 4 of them being extremely boring (Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo II and Sosa). Only first fight against Castillo was relatively decent, other 4 were awful to watch

 

So he wasn't amazing to watch, then? He looks pretty amazing here...

Most boring fighter in history I can't think of anyone more boring.

 

He had some boring fights but he also had some good fights so I wouldn't say he was boring. Yes he was a cherry picker and a drug cheat but not boring.

 

Boring lol. Dont blame Floyd for the fact opponents couldnt hit him.

 

Doesnt make any sense. A guy who is hugely unliked does not draw the money Mayweather did.

Yes there were people who tuned him to see him get beat but there is no way a guy who sold over 1 mil ppv buys consistently is a disliked fighter.

 

Is there a bigger idiot than Azeri.?

 

If you go down Floyd's record fight by fight, you'll realize he really was a boring fighter. But you can pick some fun performances from the garbage.

 

I can't argue against your opinion, only state my own... supported by facts.
At 130, FMJ was blazing fast and had a high KO percentage. There is no question that he was an exciting fighter here.

As he moved up, he lost some of his physical prowess, but he put on huge events and still dominated.

Corley was a war. Gatti was a savage display. Judah was entertaining, as was DLH, Mosley, Hatton, Cotto, Ortiz.

When he got old, he showed us one last flash against Canelo in maybe a top 5 peformance of his career... then showed his vulnerabilities vs. Maidana in a couple of compelling matchups.

Overall, he didn't have a boring career. You are the one foraging through a 50 fight career and picking out his least exciting performances and calling a HOF career "garbage".

No "boring" fighter has ever captivated the sport the way he did.
