Is Floyd the most accurate puncher ever?

Unpopular opinion but I was bored watching his fights. Much rather watch a khan scrap fest instead of Mayweather non contact type of boxing.

 

Unpopular opinion: The majority of Floyd's fights aren't even like that.

 

Potshotting on his bike.... im going with RJJ

1001 Floyd

 

yes they are lol

 

PUNCHER!!!!!!! ROFL The feather fisted dancing dervish cannot PUNCH. He's like a failed Chippendales dancer

 

Well, I mean, not if you actually watch his career, no, they aren't. But I only mean that in the strictest and most obvious sense that you wouldn't get.

 

PBF was the most accurate fighter I have ever seen. He was so crisp and sharp for his age; it really was quite remarkable.

Older Floyd was still very accurate, but at the expense of his workrate and power.

 

You've obviously never seen Floyd fight at 140 and below.

 

Preach it brother. PBF had a 54% KO ratio.

Even Slappy McSlapface Joe Calzaghe ended around 70% of his fights.

Floyd wouldn't bust a grape.

 

He was very accurate, but he didn’t have a good work rate and usually just waited for the counter. It’s a lot more impressive when a fighter throws a lot of leather with high accuracy. Off the top of my head, Louis, Holyfield, and Pac had some great accuracy for all that they threw. I remember a young Mike Tyson being a sharp shooter as well.

 

Kostya Tszyu threw very few punches that didn't land.

 

Possibly, he was economical with his shots and very accurate when he did throw. Compubox had him as the most accurate when he retired, though I think Crawford might challenge that stat now but then Crawford's opposition compared to Mayweather's was trash. Which kind of shows that accuracy isn't everything, when it comes down to it, it's who you fought and beat, nit picking certain stats is nice for stat geeks but it really doesn't prove much.

 

I am not a fan of Floyd and do not agree with the GOAT arguments. However there’s no denying he was one of the greatest and has a great skillset. I’d personally remove Ali and SRR from your list of overrated fighters because they warranted the hype with their exceptional resumes and talents (even if there are too many people who claim they were unbeatable). I’d replace them with Fury and Tank (even still).
