    Yea, but on something like punchstats how do you know what percentage of them powershots are with the right hand?

    With the jabs you know for certain which arm was used.

        What if they switch stance? How do you know which arm threw the jab?

            You're nitpicking, I feel. I think you should focus more on footwork, stamina and dominance than punches. Two knockdowns was an achievement in itself, considering the crap Manny had to put up with right up until fight day.

                Did Pacquiao switch stance?

                  Many fans claim the shoulder caused the low output. Now with a completely healed shoulder Manny threw less than 1 punch per round more in this fight vs the Floyd fight.

                  Would Manny have defeated Floyd throwing 1 more punch per round?

                  I say no because the connect rate (that fight) suggests Manny would have landed 3 of those punches. Maybe if he lands all 10 he gets in a kill shot or does damage.

                    I'm sure if i went through the fights i could find moments where Pacquiao jabbed with his left, but that's not the point you said "With the jabs you know for certain which arm was used." which is incorrect.

                      This is just the pace he fights at now. He's old and doesn't have the stamina/work rate that he did in his prime. That's normal.

                      I never bought the injury story in the first place.
