Mayweather yeah is a very boring fighter but he knows how to win collect that paycheck. That's all these sports are about today. It's all about not getting hit rather than the days of Mike Tyson were he beat the shit out of everyone 

Absolutely.  Jon Jones style has also been called boring by some.  But he wins as well.

Both Mayweather and Jones are defensive fighters,  when boxing, who prefer to stand side-on with one foot forward in a wide stance, and both like to move backwards by pivoting their feet if their opponent starts to throw combinations.  Makes for a boring fight, but the side-on stance makes them a difficult target to hit, and the back peddling lessens the impact of the opponents punches.

Just smart fighting styles.

Khabib is a wrestler and uses those skills to wear down opponents and eventually get a submission or a KO from his tired opponents.  He does what works best for him.
