Agree. It'd be foolish to think its users can track every single punches thrown, but it's the best thing that we fans have as stats.
True. I think they can be interesting to bring up for fun, but people shouldn't put too much stock in them.
I don't know why people care about compubox so much. It can be very misleading.

The jab can be used defensively to open up the guard, to blind the opponent for the next punch, for range.
All of these will count as not landing by compubox but they were never meant to.
Sure. It's like feinting, but at the same time the jab must reach close enough to its target in order to be used effectively as a defensive maneuver. Therefore, it will count as either a jab land or miss whether the Boxer weren't meant to land it at all. Every punches thrown regardless of how inaccurate, off balance, short, wide they look will count unless they're illegal punches.
Did i say that? You're reaching big time, man. What do you have to lose looking up their total punches percentages instead of their power punches percentages?

So you believe the compubox figure on jabs tell the whole story.
Why do you even watch boxing for, just look at the compubox stats.:ugh:

LMAO. Whatever you say, man.

Here's the reason why he dislike using their total connect %. These are their total punches connect percentages from their last six fights.
Floyd
Mosley 44%
Marquez 59%
Hatton 39%
Oscar 43%
Baldomir 43%
Zab 47%
46%
Manny
Mosley 31%
Margarito 44%
Clottey 20%
Cotto 43%
Hatton 57%
Oscar 38%
39%
Compubox figures on the jabs don't tell the whole story.
I would bet my house, my car, and everything else I own that you "missed" this fight as well....:rofl:

Can you send the deeds over for you house and when can I pick up your car?
"has only fought twice in the last four years"
The last 4 years from August to 48 months back, is September 2007. September 2007, 48 months forward, is August 2011. Which will then have Mayweather fighting 3 times. And actually when 48 months are up from September 2007 to September 2011, Floyd would have fought 4 times in the last 48 months.
Your mistake was counting 2011 as a full 12 months.
This is null of course if it's already 2012 where you're from.
I 101% agree the only way floyd can win against pac is if he's illegal tactics are allowed by the ref.
Translation: "If Floyd uses the shoulder roll and doesn't stand still to be hit he should be disqualified."
100% agree
floyd has lost his legs
the only way to beat pacquiao is to run and counter him
beat him on points
if floyd doesn't have legs he's going to get KTFO
this floyd not having legs is b.s. and will be proven against ortiz. people started saying that after the mosley fight and he said he wanted to stand in and fight against mosley.
What was his total connect % vs both
Here's the reason why he dislike using their total connect %. These are their total punches connect percentages from their last six fights.
Floyd
Mosley 44%
Marquez 59%
Hatton 39%
Oscar 43%
Baldomir 43%
Zab 47%
46%
Manny
Mosley 31%
Margarito 44%
Clottey 20%
Cotto 43%
Hatton 57%
Oscar 38%
39%
He is not.
OK buddy if you say so. Thats why Marquez and Morales was blasting his ass so his fundamentals are terrible he's living off speed and power against slow opponents.
