Boxing IS a defensive sport. And by saying people dont like watching his style, then riddle me this genius, why were his fights so highly watched and his some of the most highest paying fights ever. Just because people like to think boxing is like watching a rocky movie doesnt mean it is...
Defensive and offensive I think.. Let's just say people are fond of watching boxing. Highly anticipated? Did you ever watched the fight between Floyd and Pacman? Have you noticed the fight got trending after the results that many claiming it should be Pacman the winner based on the hits. Anyway, hope they can get a rematch and let Floyd prove how a boxer should fight, not hide and run. That's your opinion and for me, his fighting style isn't the best in boxing world.

Again you dont win boxing matches with style points. You might not like how floyd boxes and that's fine, but he clearly put a clinique on pacman. It's not even really up for debate....based on the "hits".
