It is still one of four, so the person who lands the most clean punches does not necessarily win, because there are four critieria, not one. The other three are also taken into account.
And more importantly the punch stats do not measure clean punching. It's impossible to discuss anything intelligently with you because it's like talking to a brick wall. You simply ignore points that other people make and you keep repeating things that have already been shown to be irrelevant or misleading or false. It's like trying to talk to a robot. Snap out of your robotic posting mode and start behaving like a normal human.
That's a gross exaggeration. If you really can't tell the difference between a pitty pat punch and a solid power punch thrown with the full weight of the body behind it; or between one that lands cleanly and a glancing blow, then you know nothing about boxing.
And to the extent that it's true, all that means is that there is no objective way to judge a fight. Which is true. There isn't. That's why they have three judges. Nevertheless, how clean and powerful the punches are is the most important criteria that fights are judged on. How many there are is not a criteria at all. As you admitted above. And judging that is precisely what the judges are paid to do.
Fights are NOT judged on punch stats at all, never have been and never will be. And if you know anything about boxing you know that's true, so why are you pretending to be completely ignorant about boxing, when you clearly are not really? Do you do this because you just enjoy winding people up for the sake of it?
They are not supplemental, they are completely irrelevant. Based on punch stats, Calzaghe would have won every single round against Hopkins other than the first round. But every boxing expert in the world agreed that that fight was extremely close and many scored it very narrowly to Hopkins. The reason is that most of Calzaghe's punches did not land cleanly, many of those that the stats said landed were actually blocked, and even those that did land cleanly mostly had very litte power
Don't be so idiotic. It's extremely difficult to tell, without slow motion, which punches are blocked, which land but are only glancing blows, and which land cleanly. That's why such a small proportion of punches that land score points in the Olympics (in which punch stats are the effective criteria), because all three judges have to see the punch land in order for it to count, and that only happens with a minority of the punches that actually land.
And the punches that the stats call power punches do not necessarily have any power in them at all, because they class anything that isn't a jab as a "power punch", including the weakest of Calzaghe's slaps. Cotto has knocked people down with his jab. Many so-called "power punches" are far less powerful than Cotto's jabs.
Xenophobia and racism are functionally identical. You may as well claim that anti-semitism isn't racism because it's based on religion rather than race. Racism and xenophobia are both manifestations of extreme prejudice. Neither is better than the other. Neither is worse than the other. Not only are you an extreme xenophobe, which is every bit as bad as being an extreme racist, but you're an extreme pedant as well.
And if you do a google search for "how boxing is scored" you'll find several sites quoting 25%, all based in the US.
Do you really think that every boxing writer in the world including The Ring's comes from Cotto's hometown?Last edited by Dave Rado; 10-09-2009, 07:00 PM.Comment

I don't see the point of resurrecting this thread if you're a Floyd fan especially when the fight between Mosley and May hasn't happened yet. It might just confirm what Arum says about PB.
Besides, the records are all over the place. PB was forced to fight Mosley because of a fight gone earthquake kaput.Comment
