Most people prefer the unskilled fighters who rely on standing and fighting, rather than hitting and avoid getting hit.
While I do enjoy a good slugfest (Provodnikov/Matthyse anyone?) I can appreciate Mayweathers style because it's as pure of a boxer as it gets.

The problem is, he's the same person in and out of the ring.
