if 1 fighter throws 1000 punches and lands 100 and the other throws 300 and lands 150

[Larry the boss]

depends on how many years are in a decade.

arnt there 12 years in a decade??

(lol) It was pretty obvious this thread was about Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. after the recent quote by Al Bernstein (even though Larry may deny it). Although the Devon Alexander vs. Andriy Kotelnik fight is a great example of this.

But the man who threw [and lands] the cleaner effective punches should win, activity alone should not win fights in my opinion.

I was about to post that. Its hit the spot.

[loui_ludwig]

So we judge the winner of the fight by the total punches landed?

[Hi-Dro]

if a poster makes a dumb as.s thread and another poster makes a dumb as.s comment and a reader reads his dumbass comment who really wins? and please don't bring up this thread.

With Floyd being 41-0 I think that proves quite easily that throwing fewer but landing more is an effective strategy in boxing.

calzaghe was 46-0(better) and he thew a lot but landed few thus proving that is the most effective strategy in boxing.

you can land 1000 punches i can land one and knock you out... the emphasis is on clean effective punching the numbers dont really matter, if you land 100 out of 1000 and i land 150 of 400 the more effective punches (the ones that hurt) win the round. anything else is a toss up.

[Pez]

Landed punches are pretty close so I would be looking at who gave the harder shots. But if I base it on those numbers only, I would give it to the more active fighter.
