Power Punches vs. Accuracy vs. Work Rate

[Mizzou]

Rank these in importance.

Accuracy is most important, otherwise you wouldn't hit the person

Next two are a bit debatable, depends on who you are against really but in general i'd go for Workrate over power punches.

[MANGLER]

1. Work Rate - a lot of fighters win decisions just by throwing a lot of punches.
2. Accuracy - It looks a lot better to judges landing cleanly on the chin or to the center of the belly than piercing through the guard or bringin body shots around the elbows.
3. Power Punches - Knockouts speak for themselves, but few fighters have bona fide 1 punch KO power. It's great to have KO power but fighters do better with the 1st 2 than relying solely on stoppin their opponents.

Rank these in importance.

Don't have to rate.

Calzaghe has all three mastered perfactly.

Accuracy-- You have to HIT and not get HIT. (Hit being a key word, if you didn't get it already)...

Workrate-- Second to accuracy because you can't give the fight to a guy who just throws without landing consistently.

Power punching- This is really just an afterthought when compared to the other two. You don't neccesarily need power punching in high amounts to win a fight- of course you'd want to see it as a fan, but if the accuracy and the workrate is high, then this is just icing on the cake.

See i was right

1. Accuracy

















2. Work Rate- This means **** without accuracy.
3. Power Punches: The other guy is landing more blows overall then power punches.

[Nicky_Hatton]

Power punches least.

Gettting hit with lots of accurate shots, hurts a lot if not more.
