What heavyweights in history could throw 60 punches per round for the whole fight?

Ibeabuchi averaged 81 punches a round against Tua (who was around 65 a round) in their 12 round throw down.

 

Marciano threw over 100 punches in the 15th round against Ezzard Charles. Unfortunately, only half the fight exists. If the entire fight existed It could very well still be the HW punch-output record. I'm sure Marciano could individually hold that record (If such film and stat existed).

 

Ibeabuchi set the record for a heavyweight fight.

Tua averaged 62 per round in that fight too.

From boxrec: This fight set a CompuBox record for most combined punches thrown in a heavyweight fight: 1,730.

 

What an absolute beast of a fighter, imagine trying to fight that? Horrific thought...especially when you think that even if you cover up, he'd still hit you on the arms...anywhere in fact. He was a fighter who would break your heart, as well as your body. I bet Ez was sore the next day!

 

vitaly klathko have the record for the most punches in a fight,vs johnson

 

Hurricane Jackson ,of Queens, NY . did that in his sleep...60 punches a round ? Bah...

 

Allot of fighters that didn't could, not doing it can be by choice in order to limit counter opportunities. A top level fighter should be able to throw 60 a round though

 

And also limiting chances of gassing out or being overshadowed in the latter rounds.

 

Vitali set a punch stat record in his match with Johnson, so he could do it, and has done it in other matches.

 

Marciano...

 

Most people have Marciano because of the 15th round of the Charles. I counted just over 100 punches that Rocky threw. Of all the bouts I saw him on film, that and a round against Moore were the only 2 rounds that I counted that he threw 100 or more punches.

I watched the 1st Marciano/Walcott 1 bout and I counted the punches that Rocky threw (not landed). This is what I came out with.

Round 1 - 28 punches
Round 2 – 34 punches
Round 3 - 35 punches
Round 4 - 40 punches
Round 5 was not filmed
Round 6 - 45 punches
Round 7 - 25 punches
Round 8 - 23 punches
Round 9 - 36 punches
Round 10 - 43 punches
Round 11 - 36 punches
Round 12 - 28 punches

Total – 11 Rounds – 373 Punches – Average 33.9 Punches Per Round.
Note: The average punches thrown by a heavyweight since "CompuBox" started counting, is 45.

I didn't include Round #13, BUT Rocky threw 6 punches in that round, including the last two, a Great Right Cross, and a Left Hook.

I could be off some, but I tried to count every punch he threw, even the real short ones when they were Clinching.

Against Archie Moore I counted a total of 608 punches that Rocky threw. At the end of the 8th round he threw 550 punches, which is an average of about 64 punches a round. In the last round, which only lasted just over a minute, he threw 58 punches.

In rounds 4 and 6, he was just under or just over 100 punches (98 & 103). In round 8, I have him throwing 86.

It's very hard to see if some of these were actually thrown, but I counted anything that even looked like a punch and this is what I came out with

If you go by "CompuBox" the all time record is 237 punches, of which 222 were power punches, by Vince Phillips in the 12th round against Ray Oliverira on December 22, 2000.
