that is already considered in the equation. I multiply pac's average punches thrown with floyd's opponent's connect percentage and averaged that w/ pac's average punches landed.
please get it in your heads that floyd's opponent's connect percentage already quantifies floyd's defense.Comment

Numbers don't lie, but people using them to explain or predict certainly can.Comment

Nah, but seriously it wasn't too bad as far as formulas go. The thing is, if you watched the first 4 rounds of Floyd/Zab, you'd never guess Floyd would win the next 8. He's very good at thinking on his feet and adapting to whatever his opponent is doing. The only time he's not done that was in the first Castillo fight, when he was injured, and he came back in the rematch and handled business.
One thing I can say though, is you can't multiply a guy's average punches thrown and use it in a formula, when the guy is going to fight a counter puncher like Floyd, who will be dropping that number. Look at what happened to Calzaghe's numbers against Hopkins, or Williams' numbers against Quintana. When you're getting consistently countered, you throw less, period.Comment

Also your sample size in very small, with such a small sample size really hard to gather any real meaning.Comment

I don't know how I'm lying about the numbers, I takes some numbers, run them through a formula and more numbers come out.
if you think i didn't use the same formula for floyd and pac, then do the numbers yourself.
I'm gonna be rich, RICH I tell ya.
