    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.

    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.

    Yes, I considered mayweather vs corrales very boring :roto2rie:

    It's ridiculous the amount of bias in the comments regarding some figthers, for example mayweather or canelo.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
