    they are both boring for me... they always embrace their opponent after a punch or two

    Too hard to answer this one, in my view. Both of them in their primes were physically gifted, but neither one ever relied on their physical gifts. The hallmark of both of their careers has been boxing intelligence. Throughout their careers they have applied their skills with the tools they possessed efficiently. Furthermore, both of them are known for an intense dedication to training which has allowed them to always have that "next level". They're two of the boxers I most like to watch over the history of the sport for all of these reasons.

    They're two of the best boxing minds the sport has ever produced.

    At middleweight,he was quite skillful as a boxer puncher that didn't rely as much on the filth that he did as he aged in order to hide his lack of stamina.One only needs to watch the masterclass he exhibited against Glenn Johnson to realize how skillful he really was as he's the only man ever to stop GJ.

    Are you kidding? Mayweather uses his elbow all the time and his forearm!
