So using TS's logic without counting Jabs lands and throws, Floyd would still be a more accurate puncher when you adds up their last eight fights Compubox stats using only Total Power punches as a term of overall total punches.

the jab may be pac's weakness owing to his opponent's generally having the longer reach....it is difficult to jab when you have the shorter arm length...
it is pac's strategy to use the jab while in an in and out motion (to negate his shorter arm) coupled with his speed.....
his jabs are to set for his heavy punches.....

See it is not that hard to look and the evidence objectively, maybe some of you should give it a try.
No mate. 5'8" is definitely shorter. Pac is blacker and taller than Mayweather and is more trash and ******.
I still love the jab thing. A missed jab for Pac equals a successful punch but but doesn't mean anything in terms of his accuracy of landed punches while for Mayweather a landed jab is not a successful punch and doesn't mean anything therefore shouldn't be counted......

While I haven't read this thread, I have no doubt this is a Floyd circle jerking contest.
Ask yourself this; Dwight Howard's field goal percentage is always better than Kobe's, so does that make Howard a better shooter? There were times when guys like Chad Pennington's completion percentage where higher than Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, so does that mean Chad is a more accurate passer.
The answer to both is clearly no, because when it comes to making a difficult shot, or putting the ball in a spot where most can't, then that's really when we know who is better than who.
Floyd is similar to a qb that goes out a throws a punch of screens and slants and has a high percentage due to him being more economical. Manny is like Brett Favre, in the sense that he tries to force things and try to land things most wouldn't even attempt.
If fighter A is waiting for a guy to miss and land when the window (counter opportunity) is huge, then of course he will have a high percentage. If fighter B is punching threw a fighters guard (first few land on arms etc, then next on opponent once he breaks threw) then of course his connect percentage might not be lower.
The reason Manny is a more accurate puncher than me, because is ability to land punches right on the money, as well as land when the window is small is unbelievable and clearly better than Floyd's. There will be times where fighters would be in perfect defense stances with their guards up and if there is a small crack, Manny lands right on the money. I never see Floyd do that, rather, most of his punches are when his opponents are wide open and easy to be landed on.

With that said ima put a * by Pacmans name until proven other wise. Sorry Manny, love your fights but I believe you have something to hide so your stats are taintedLast edited by straightleft; 07-23-2011, 09:41 PM.
