Floyd's Hit / Don't get hit % compared to other All Time Greats
- Thread starter really
- Start date
You can think what u want
here's a simple question..what do you think is the current fight of the year so far that you've watched and why?
Like I said in the other thread where you claim Floyd is at LEAST Top 3-Top 5 All-time
Advanced Metric Stats dont belong in a gladiator sport such as Boxing breh
The game of boxing is not JUST about "hit/dont get hit".....it's to win at all causes.
You are not accouting for who opponents have faced, the era they are fighting in (15 rounds vs 12 rounds), the actual time they had to prepare for the bouts, punching power, or ANY of that with your "stats"
According to every boxing historian who has ever been quoted on boxing, there are only 2 people who's name can be argued as GOAT: Sugar Ray Robinson or Muhammad Ali.
You're right. Sugar Ray Robinson went 40-0 before losing his 1st fight to one of the greatest fighters ever....dikk LaMotta. You know what your "stats" dont account for to try and put Floyd over him? Is that Sugar Ray Robinson fought Jake LaMotta 3 times in a 6 month span INCLUDING twice in a 3 week span (February 5th, 1943 and February 26th, 1943).
That's not including the fact that in between that 3 week span of 2-5 and 2-26....he had ANOTHER FIGHT, against California Jackie Wilson on 2-19
So, in a 3 week span, he fought 3 fights...2 of em against a HOFer.
His entire career is like that and so are all the other legendary fighters from back then.
PLEASE dont make me break down how Ali, Henry Armstrong, Joe Louis, and Willie Pep were all better as well
N1gga seriously said "advanced matric stat"
That translates to: "I despise mayweather and will NEVER give him credit"
Didn't read the rest.
If 46% (connect rate) - 16% (opponent connect rate) = 30% is "advanced", damn I hate to see what your algebra grades looked like....
Here's a simple stat maybe your mind can grasp: 44-0.
Does that make sense to you?

RIP Champ
because records in boxing mean nothing...How can anyone say floyd aint the GOAT when he's never lost
dude is undefeated and his the best punching accuracy of all time. also the best defense of all time. so whats left?
n!ggas need to stop hating and give this man his props.
Anyone can build up an undefeated record by fighting cab drivers and hot dog vendors...
What ultimately defines a boxers career is the quality of his opponents...Mayweather's resume gets overlooked because he routinely makes world class fighters look like amateurs and gets a lot of hate for not fighting a certain Phillipino midget who never stood anything but a meager punchers chance against him...
Floyd IMO does not have the resume to be top 10 all time but he is definitely top 15 and well above the Pacquiao's and RJJ's...He is the greatest technician and defensive fighter in the history of the sport...
pernell whitaker. nicolino locche. willie pep (once won a round WITHOUT THROWING A PUNCH).
just b/c YOU think he's the best dont mean that shyt is universal. foh.
These 3 things in combination with each other makes Floyd's goat stats UNDISPUTED, honestly.
ALI lost in his 31st fight
Leonard lost in his 27th fight
Robinson lost in his 40th Fight
Tyson lost in his 40th Fight
Foreman lost in his 40th fight
This lets you know how HARD it is to break that 40-0 barrier... Tyson lost in the biggest sporting upset in HISTORY.... That's how hard it is to stay THAT consistent for THAT long...
Floyd is 44-0.....
Nothing else even needs to be said besides this.
People say "he fought bad competition" or "never had a classic fight", because his stats prove he makes all of them look like sh1t.... That doesnt mean he was bad, that means he made em look bad.
To those saying, "it only takes 1 punch to change a fight"...
You're right.... 1 punch that you'll NEVER land clean.... lmao
Mosley came the closest.. Hit floyd with the 2 hardest shots he's EVER been hit with, in the SAME round, and STILL lost...
Floyd - Best offense ever
Floyd - Best defense ever
Floyd - Never been knocked down
Floyd - Undefeated longer than Ali, Robinson and Leonard
But.. But... But....
But what else? He made all his competition look like sh1t?

Floyd does have an official KD counted against him...you stans who don't know boxing are the worst
..another one I guaranteed knows nothing about boxing outside of Floyd/pacquiao

Floyd does have an official KD counted against him...you stans who don't know boxing are the worst
You mean after HE broke his hand on someone elses face?
Floyd does have an official KD counted against him...you stans who don't know boxing are the worst
He has no official knock downs counted against him dip sh1t... Show proof or fall back.
(ROFL! @ this being your defense though).... wait, wait... Never mind, dont look it up... Lets stick with it...
Floyd = 1 knock down (yea right)
So you gonna ignore all the other facts that REALLY matter? (LOL)....
Floyd is the goat by EVERY measure.... He would destroy any boxer in history at his weight.
Floyd at 60 years old would beat the guys Roy faced towards the end of his career. Not to mention in his prime getting knocked bout by Tarver, something that has never happened to Floyd. The fact that you even had the balls to mention Roy Jones in the same class as Floyd makes me want to reach into the screen and slap you.
How soon we forget. Roy at his peak and in his prime was held in the same regard as people who dikkride Floyd now. He got knocked out by Tarver cuz he dropped all that weight after fighting Ruiz at heavyweight. Even the first fight when he beat Tarver he wasn't the same anymore and his legs and reflexes were shot. If Roy would have retired after Ruiz or stayed at heavy and fought Holyfield/Chris Byrd or someone similar in size people would still tout him as possible the GOAT. Now why I never thought he was the greatest ever, that doesn't take away the fact that prime Roy Jones is one of the greatest boxers ever. And would beat or be able to hang with any great fighter at any point in history.
These n1ggas are dillusional...
I said floyd is the best defensive fighter ever
Most accurate boxer ever
Stayed undefeated longer than Tyson, Ali, Leonard, Robinson, Foreman...
And oh, he points out the fact he HAS BEEN KNOCKED DOWN one time (which didn't happen)
The hate is real.... LOL!!!
breh I dont care enough about your opinion to try and prove to you I watch boxing. if you dont think I know anything about boxing cool
