Mayweather a boring guy to watch, says Hall of Fame boxing commentator

Respected Hall of Fame boxing commentator Bob Sheridan is blaming Floyd Mayweather for the lack of excitement when he fought Manny Pacquiao earlier this month at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

 

In a conversation with ontheropesboxing.com, Sheridan placed responsibility on Mayweather for the boring fight.

 

"In general, Floyd fought a usual what I would say, a boring fight because that’s the way he fights. He’s very successful at what he does and that’s why he’s making the big bucks and has done so well," said Sheridan.

 

"Nobody is going to be talking about this fight as one of the great fights. You wouldn’t compare it to Hagler vs. Hearns, it was a typical Floyd Mayweather fight and by and large, Mayweather is kind of a boring guy to watch. His fights are not memorable, not in terms of the great fights that we’ve seen over the years."

 

In the end, Sheridan concedes that Mayweather will be remembered for handily beating Pacquiao but won't be remembered for putting up exciting bouts.

 

"This will be just another fight to say, “Well he did beat Pacquiao, and he did Canelo Alvarez, so he beat the best guys that were around during his career.” That’s how he will be remembered." —JST, GMA News
