    The thing is, he bores a lot of people while he's fighting..

    seriously, i'd rather watch his interviews rather than his actual fights..

    thats the new floyed the old floyed was great to watch fast hands orthodox style aswell as a squared stance. the new floyd is a guy that just does enough to win.

    But his style isnt his own. its his style that makes him a ***** and probably why he can be seen as a great timer. His style is borderline illegal and im surpprised he hasnt been called out on it by the refs. first lets start with his stance the shoulder roll is a move that has been done to death but its illegal to stay in that position becuase it exposes the back. effectivly using the back as a defense becuase a clean fighter wouldnt swing towards that back becuase they can be called on for a illegal blow be it a kidney or rabbit to the back of the neck. the only option is to hook in preventing almost any striaghts. this gives floyd a split second as the op takes in the situation aswell as gives floyd a full shoulder and two hands to block the only effective punch that can be thrown and setsup for a armlock. to be turned and countered. His forward knee is also illegal it positioning effectivly makes it difficult for a op to lateral, jab, and turn. His bending below the waist also illegal effectv. bending below the waist is also annoying and again illegal for so many reasons. and his overuse of his elbows for positioning as well as his lance punches while inside. most clean fighters will take in the situation and realize its fubar for them giving floyd some extra time. I think it takes a dirty hailstorm fighter to beat floyed becuase a dirtyfighter only cares about the knockdown and will hit the back, the liver, the spine and the balls all night which floyed sets himself up for.

    Floyd will remain unbeateable as long as he doesn't take on dangerous fights.

    I definitely think Mayweather has already beaten a list of fighters that were "suppose to be" bigger than him. Corrales was undefeated when he ran into Mayweather and he was considered the hardest hitter at that weight. Castillo was suppose to be to big too, and even if you think he got beat the first time, he beat Castillo the second time. Judah was suppose to be stronger, DLH was suppose to be stronger and skilled. How is it DLH looked so sensational against Mayorga but then "old and washed up" when he fought Mayweather. Even after DLH had everything in his favor for the fight.

    I don't think a win over someone like Cotto or Paul Williams does something for Mayweather. Those fights sound good for Mosley or the other welterweight title holders, but for Mayweather there is only a handful of fights he can do that will really elevate his status and those are all against fighters who happen to be smaller; Marquez and Pacquiao.

    Mayweahter was beaten is the first Castillo fight. Even with De La Hoya it was quite competitive and had it a draw.

    Mayweather is not unbeatable and that's why he does not want to fight the best.
