    Personally I rarely found Mayweather boring.

    Not really a fan but I can think of many other more boring legends. As mentioned, Wlad and Hopkins. Ali wasn't fun to watch either, when his feet slowed down he liked to hold and he wasn't much of a puncher. Fury has been in some stinkers as well.

    Even though I was a fan of both, Hopkins and Ward had their days of being absolutely boring. Wladimir I found boring in most of his fights. I actually don't find Floyd boring at all.

    Rarely found him boring. But I like technical fighters and get enjoyment in watching such fighters put on a clinic.

    The Beterbiev-Bivol fights had more action than the last 10 Floyd fights combined!

    Hand issues and lack of power made him more defensive as he went into higher divisions, add aging into the mix and you get an old, defensive master out pointing every man put i front of him.

    People who call Mayweather boring have never seen any of his fights below Welterweight.

    I don't see how his fights vs these fighters were boring.

    Manfredy
    Corrales
    Augustus
    Corley
    Ndou
    Chavez
    Gatti

    And even some of his fights at Welterweight and above were good fights worth watching like....

    ODLH
    Cotto
    Hatton
    Judah
    Maidana 1

    Some of Mayweathers fights were stinkers like vs Baldomir but for the most part I enjoyed alot of Mayweather's fights.

    Yeah, um, no. The Cotto and Maidana fights had plenty of action, arguably even more than either Beterbiev-Bivol fight.

    Wladimir Clinko

    Jab grab totaly predictable and robotic, can only imagine the devastation a 30 year old Fury would enact upon him as opposed to the 25 year old one who played with him.

    Atleast Floyd never had his size to rely on or his power. Just supreme footwork and sex appeal.

    Good answer
    Wlad bored his opponents to sleep, then eventually threw a left hook or straight right

    He was a cancer to the sport. I know i give off about the current bunch, but this era is 100x better than his bore fest that almost destroyed the sport
