Mayweather Threw LESS Power Punches Than Clottey

[fdotorres]

mayweather-marquez was a great fight. mayweather pressed the action and broke him down.

broke him down? i saw marquez fighting the same way in the 1st round and the last round. in what way was he broken down?

And yet, he was able to do something Manny couldn't do in 12 rounds.. Knock his opponent down.

pacquiao knocked down marquez 3 times in the 1st round of their 1st fight, in marquez natural weight class

floyd knocked him down once at WW. are you really trying to give him credit for that win?

manny throws a 1000 punches to drop marquez once floyd barely punches and drops marquez.floyd power is very underrated

watch round 6 my man marquez looks very confused

[letsgobrady]

Nah, If I throw 10 punches and land 8, does that make me incredible cause I get 80% accuracy?

Floyd doesn't throw enough combos, he will lose to Pacquiao.

yes it does

[them_apples]

Yeah, and he also caused Marquez to land like 20 in the process...

Oh, and since when is Mayweather a power puncher? He is a very active counter puncher, although he's been more flatfooted recently for some reason...Probably the level of opposition, because he hasn't faced a dangerous opponent since DLH.

any punch aside from a jab is a power punch. Mayweather has never been an avid jab user.

Pacquiao decked Marquez a total of 4 times in 2 fights, don't be ******.

Counter

2. Sports A boxing blow given while receiving or parrying another.

Now ...

I usually don't get involved in these debates as I'm a fan of both fighters.

BUT just because Clottey landed more on Manny than Mayweather did on Marquez does not actually dictate how a fight would eventually add up between the two. Hence, why I have the definition of counter above. Mayweather reacts to his opponents, the more his opponents throw, the more he throws. And thus, why he tends to land more on his opposition, reference Compubox for proof.

They wont listen.
