    Margarito, Paul Williams, Ray Olivera, Emmanuel Augustus, Zaggers, Vince Phillips.

    Margarito holds the record for most punches thrown in a 12 round fight of 1675.
    Vince Phillips thew 237 punches in the 12 round alone against Ray Olivera.

    Pound for pound, Vitali Klitschko. For someone his size to be throwing over a thousand punches in some fights is absolutely remarkable.

    Isn't LSC up there? Work rate-wise...

    Margarito and Paul Williams immediately come to mind. Rahman (when in shape) has thrown an enormous amount of punches in a few fights. Also Calzaghe.

    Joe Calzahe had a very high work rate. Combined with his superb conditioning, I'd say it was his greatest asset.

    Manny Pacquiao also had a tremendous work rate in his prime, often throwing over a 1000 punches per fight and he was such an awesome puncher. Its a real shame these guys have to get old.

    Exactly why Floyd retired conveniently from 2007-2009. Stylistic threats with GOAT level workrates.

    I think Floyd could have beaten them, but we'll never know.
    Williams had a bad habit of lunging.

    I think Floyd would've beaten Margarito, I think he could box him after a few tough moments. I think he would've gone down in a hail of gunfire vs. Paul though. He wouldn't get stopped but paul doesnt stop throwing for anything. Margarito has times where he stops and starts

    Floyd would still have his moments against Williams.
