Floyd vs Baldomir: Floyd throws 458 punches. Clottey threw 399 punches!

The difference is when mayweather throws he is usually landing. He has one of the best connect percent ratio in the sport.

 

Floyd didn't need to up his work-rate. Why throw more punches than he needs to? He got the job done with the minimal of effort. Clottey DID need to up his work-rate because he was getting his arse beaten, and he didn't.

 

did he hurt his hand in the marquez and oscar fight too?

 

Marquez only managed to land 12% of his total 583 punches while Mayweather landed 59% of 490 total punches

 

floyd threw 493 punches, thats all it took to knockdown and school marquez for 12 rounds....

Pac threw thousands of punches over 24 rounds, and stuggled life and death both times :rofl

 

No, his brittle hands magically went away for both of those fights.

 

Its not the number of punches thrown.

Its doing what you have to do to win the fight.

Clottey needed to get off more because he was losing those rounds big.

How many rounds did Baldomir win?

 

I don't know...can't think correctly because of your ****ing avatar.

 

Why would he need to throw more punches? He was winning the rounds very easily.

That's the difference between floyd and clottey.

Clottey was not winning rounds. Therefore his method was in effective and his output should have increased or his game plan should have changed.

 

What's the relevance of Floyd? It's not just Floyd fans that are criticizing Clottey.

I'm guessing this thread is more about the interesting fact than anything more. Context is important. When you're losing a fight miserably and still giving a low output when you have energy, then you can be criticized

Floyd has very high activity and workrate in the ring, it's just a lot of it is based on his opponents punches rather than his. Clottey was just a heavy bag.

 

But clottey is clearly is no mayweather. And that style clearly does not work for him as time and time again he loses big fights on his low work rate. On the other hand mayweather wins big fights on a similar work rate but more importantly a more effective work rate based on punches thrown and landed in between rounds.

That being said Pac does deserve credit. But saying pac avoided clottey shots is quite misleading considering clottey was constantly in his shell for 12 rounds.

 

Nonsense. Floyd threw roughly the same number against Judah and Marquez. He's a pretty spare puncher. However he also outlanded those guys, and they only threw one to two-hundred more punches than he did. Not three times as many.

If you can outland your opponent significantly then you can be a pretty parsimonious puncher. If your opponent is throwing, literally, 3 punches to your every one, and is outlanding you, then you have a problem.
