Mayweather rarely makes his fight exciting if the other opponent has KO power. He ran a lot, Hoya chased, flurried and missed. I mean...he landed a few good blows. But Mayweather popped him all night and covered up or ran.
Oscar made it a fight....Mayweather beat him to the punch.
Boring to me. But I do know a good boxer when I see one. Mayweather is the best....but not the most exciting. Sugar Ray Leonard is the best ever and made his fights exciting.

I think the Mayweather fight should have been unanimous for Mayweather. He had Oscar fighting his way the entire match. Mayweather jabbed, Hoya flurried rarely hitting. At the end of the rounds when they showed percent of punches hit it was usually Maywheather around 40% while Hoya was 10-20%, and on top of that Mayweather usually had more punches landing.

Sugar Ray Leonard
I don\'t know about that one, Ali is the best IMO. Most impressive thing ive ever seen was when Ali was fighting someone and they refused to call him Mohhamad Ali and kept calling him Casius Clay. When it was time to fight Ali dominated him, but he wouldnt knock him out, was just toying with him for 12 rounds and after his punches he would yell "Whats my name?!"
Wrong person to piss off :)

kinda reminds me of that guy that\'s on the cover of fight night rd 2.*forgot his name*...i\'ve seen a couple of his fights and they are EXTREMELY boring.....all he does is jab all night and hardly ever throws any big punches...i guess some would call that "smart" boxing but i was fallin\' asleep watching him box...
