Floyd Mayweather the Least Hit Fighter in Compubox History

I think Barrera and Morales were prime at 122. But against Oscar and those guys we will never know. I think Oscar would have posed him most problems, as excellent as Nelson and Arguello were I think they'd definitely have trouble finding him.Comment

I know Lamotta isn't exactly a scrub but he said himself he had no problem fighting Ray all those times because he was so easy to hit, due to his willingness to stand and trade. Robinson was never considered a defensive wizard.Comment

This was posted on another forum.You have to keep level of competition in mind. No sane fan will argue that Floyd isn't ONE of the best defensive fighters ever, but you can't just look at the Compubox stats without factoring who the other contenders for that throne fought.
Speaking of Jimmy, I don't know what the stats are now but we had the Compubox thread before and Vitali had some crazy stats. He might have better stats than Floyd, I'm not sure.

Impressive numbers but his defence wasn't so great against the only good heavyweight on his resume.Comment

I don't know why they bother. They know damned well that Floyd's defensive is BETTER than Robinson, Ali, Leonard, etc. Therefore, even if he were in that era, we would see a significant difference in numbers. What's left up for debate is if Floyd is better or just as good from the offensive standpoint.Comment
