    I was just having a look at Larry Holmes vs Ray Mercer and the stats were mind boggling Holmes landed 68 percent of his punches which is pretty unreal TBH.

    What's some other examples of very high connect percentages in fights ?

    In the first phase of his career, before his long layoff, Johnny Tapia routinely had insanely high connect percentages. He was known as Tap Tap tapia then and boxed more than he did after his hiatus.

    Surely Chris Eubank first round KO of Reginaldo Dos Santos and Gerald McClellan’s first round KO of Jay Bell has to be close to 100%?

    Eubank had 70% accuracy against dangerous Henry Wharton

    Mike Spinks against Gentleman Gerry that last round is tough to beat.
