Statistically speaking, is Mayweather the boxer most closest to perfection?

Big O. :good

Just work on your beatles knowledge hey?

 

Fair enough, I can agree with arguments for that, although I definitely rate Mayweather a better counter puncher though

 

The thing with roy is he almost always countered, and it happend so fast people seem to call it off as lazy because it looked easy. Floyd has more flashy counters but Roys were so much more powerful :!:

 

Compute box is not that accurate. You got people clicking a button whenever a punch is throw and landed. Nonetheless is still stats and something to go by. Floyd is one of those few boxers that i've seen that hardly miss. Almost every shot he throws reaches his target and in his prime, he was extremely hard to hit. Floyd is getting hit a lot more these days and not as agile anymore either but he is still too much to handle for 90% of the boxers currently.

 

Dont get me wrong, Roy was a freak of nature, and imo ruined his career moving too far up in the weights then dropping back down.


Beating a prime Toney (one of my top 5 fighters of all time) the way he did was nothing short of incredible.


But like you point out it is arguable, which is again like you say nothing short of incredible.

 

At times Roy would clown, but early he would let the guy know OK, im in another galaxy to you, using hard counters. The difference between Roy and Floyd was ultimately speed and power in favour of Roy.

Roy being maybe as fast at 175 as Floyd was at 130? That just shouldn't be.

It happens to the best though really. Look at the top 5 p4p :-( Charles' record after Marciano breaks me heart :verysad

This is a top 5 P4P great we're talking here.

 

As we all know Floyd beat Cotto and won a title at 154, so why he didn't challenge a top dog from there like Trout for ex ?! Trout beat much convincingly Cotto than Floyd did, so if u are a true great fighter, u have to compete with the best-dangerous fighters from out there !

Floyd waited the right moment and chose Cotto ( a past-prime fighter with a good name / a good draw ) and made a fight where the old past-prime fighter i.e Cotto gave him good fists !:yep

Floyd has one chance to prove that he's not a cherrypicker i.e to fight with the winner of Canelo - Trout fight @ 154 ! :yep

 

Chris John - 50 have tried....
Paul Spadafora - 47 have tried...

 

Statistically speaking, sure. If we are talking punches landed %, and punches avoided % yes, he might be. Let's consider though that there was no statistical analysis prior to the late 1990's, so the test field is smaller, but from since boxing punch stats have been measured? Absolutely.

 

:rofl

I about choked...

 

Easily :deal

 

keep making excuses winter of his years to explain when he eventually loses without ever taking on a major challenge the same way you mother****ers explain away that Floyd isn't really a welter to avoid the Martinez question. The guy is overrated and not even the best of this era.

 

:****off
