The graphic they showed last night about Floyd being at the top of the percentage landed differential made me curious about some other comparisons.
I ran the same thing excluding jabs and PBF has landed 50% and received 21% in his last five fights. Pac was 51% landed to 33% received.
Then I ran the numbers on the percentage of punches landed by each fighter in a fight. (So if 100 total punches were landed by both fighters and fighter A landed 75 then he landed 75% of the punches.)
Using that measure PBF has landed 71% of the punches in his last five fights. Pac has landed 72% of the punches landed in his last five fights. About equally dominant.
