Did David Haye Set An All Time Record For Fewest Punches Thrown In A Victory?

does landing 30 more punches - 3 punches more per round
allow one to take the title away from the reigning champ?
i dont think so ...
the challenger always has to do more to take the belt away
it cant be this close
team valuev should protest

yeah if you land 53 % more punches then you deserve to win. its not like valuev landed 20 punhes a round and haye landed 23

And he did hurt him in the end so... I mean what else do you need to do to win?

well see he's supposed to take the title from the champ
those kind of stats dont show he did that ..
he barely squeaked a decision ... to take the title
it should be a major victory ... he basically did a tommy morrison
(vs foreman)

he did clearly take the title. this is professional boxing, not only punches score points. there are 4 criterias.

clean effective punching - in favor of haye
effective aggression - valuev was coming forward but not really throwing, even if you count that as aggression he didnt land **** so he wasnt effective.
defense - haye made him look foolish like he said he would, making him miss easily. scored alot with his ability to make valuev miss.
ring generalship - haye all the way, rarely touched the ropes and when he did got away cleanly. he was the boss in there every round.

some say haye ran, which is ignorant. you really should understand the diffrence from running and moving before you call yourself a boxing fan. the low punch stats are valuevs fault. he has a history of slow and boring fights. haye doesnt. haye was within punching range for valuev most of the time, valuev was scared to let it go. haye was picking up rounds anyways and it was a wise move not to get overaggressive againt the giant and give him a chance to land a lucky punch.

The first one that came to mind was Norwood outpointing JMM. Just looked it up though and Norwood actually threw 290.

So far this is the closest to Haye's 146 attempts.


And it is double what Haye threw.


It really cracks me up reading through this thread that people actually think David Haye was justified in completely avoiding a Heavyweight who couldn't even knock out the same Jean Francois Bergeron who was then stopped easily by Dominic Guinn.

Let's go people..........

I thought we had some real life boxing historians in here........

I am upping the prize to 100,000 Boxingscene points to anyone who can confirm an example of a fighter throwing less punches in a 12 round decision victory than David Haye did.

You can start by giving me the 50K you owe me.

Valuev threw 390 punches to Haye's 146, how is the slow fight his fault?

You state that Haye was within range the whole time (LMAO btw) so if that was the case why didn't he take advantage of any of the more than 300 chances he had to counter Valuev's misses?



Still nobody has come even close to Haye's pathetic total....

C'mon people!!
