    I haven't seen Floyd do much running as of late. Besides the end of the Baldo fight, you'd have to go back to his 135 lb. days to see any real running. Ironically the two fights where he did the most running, Corrales and Jesus Chavez, were exciting fights that eneded in stoppages.

    I thought there was a good amount of action in the Rios fight. The rest were pretty dull though.

    pbf oscar was so boring half the venue was empty and the people who were left were booing, baldomir was a snore, jab was kinda boring, gatti was a circus. hatton was irritating with cortez stopping every exchange and pbf bending down all the time.

    not an exciting fighter, but has got incredible defensive skills. running is a main component in his arsenal.

    Solid CHin can't think of any boring fights besides the Baldomir one. He's using everyone so he can make a list against him. Lol.

    Floyd is a great boxer and i with you he is great to watch if you love that sort of fighter but i really can't see how sweet pea was boring, he was fantastic to watch, haugen, ramirez 2, nelson etc where masterclasses of boxing that i never tire of.

    People didn't leave Oscar-Floyd.


    They left Baldomir.


    Which watching it the first time was fine but not again.

    Oscar - Mayweather
    Baldomir - Mayweather
    Hatton - Mayweather

    These were all boring. Hatton/May just about kept me awake, but only because of the atmosphere. I can't say Mayweather ever really got my blood boiling since he left the lower weights, its more of an appreciative enjoyment than genuine jumping out my seat excitement.

    How did you guess !!!! :lol:

    No seriously,

    It doesn't get worse than Baldomir, that was is the only one that springs to mind and also the Oscar fight which I've forced myself to watch again for reviewing purposes but apart from that I appreciate boxing, so for anyone who thinks this is a hating thread think again...
