Mayweather Maidana II

Same here, I'm only interested in punches landed. Right now I'm rewatching the fight, in all honesty Maidana has landed more punches in most of the first 6 rounds. Floyd's punches are nicer, cleaner, and more eye catching, but Maidana is consistently landing hard, thudding shots to the body, side of the face, side of the head, plenty of scoring areas that aren't elbows and gloves.

 

If you think Madonna won the fight you are prolly living in a material world and you are a material girl

 

I guess Roy and Floyd have not seen Rocky II...::

 

:hammert:

 

I don't know about that...even at lightweight when Mosley had a crazy KO percentage, he usually was beating guys down and not really a one-punch guy.

At welterweight, all his stoppages, except for Adrian Stone, have come from accumulative punishment.

 

Now you have that song stuck in my head.

 

agreed... Mosley was never a big puncher... he had good power but not great power

 

That was the worst song she ever did until she did that Abba rip off about eight years ago.

 

Yeah, and the reason Mosley had a higher KO % earlier in his career is that's when he was at the peak of his handspeed. The velocity of his punches increased their effect.

 

Terry Norris after 25 fights only had 13 KOs (52% ratio). Then he became one of the hardest punchers in the sport. After the Mugabi fight he became a monster puncher. Was it maturity? Training techniques? Handwraps? Roids?

 

Norris wasn't a MONSTER puncher. When I think of a MONSTER puncher, I think of Jackson, Benn, and McCllelan.

Norris had a lot more power than Shane however, especially at 154.

 

Mosley had good power at 147. He consistently hurt people with single punches, the sheer velocity of his right hand was amazing.

I actually think he was a better puncher at 147 than 135, being less drained made him faster and stronger.

Hex's Point STILL Stands Though...

Not Many Welters Would've TAKEN The Shots Mosley Hit Floyd w/, & Made it to See Round 3 of that Bout...



REED:hammert:

 

Okay. After 25 fights, Norris's opponents were hurt earlier and more often by his punches than in his first 25 fights. It was definitely a power surge.

 

Yeah, Shane Hit PLENTY Hard Enough @ '47...Just Ask Margarita, who had, Arguably, Boxing's BEST Chin of the Last 10-15 Years...




REED:fightme:

 

It helps when you can't miss the guy with your hardest punch::

 

No doubt. I think it's underselling Shane to call him an accumulation puncher. Even if he wasn't a true 1 punch KO artist, he did a fuck load of damage with that right, he'd often hurt opponents beyond repair with 1 right hand. Don't forget even at 154 he knocked Mayorga TFO with 1 punch.

 

Who's the biggest hitter (sexy, manly belter, if you will) that Margarito had faced prior to Mosley, though, to be fair?

Obviously he had an outstanding chin but unless you are one of these assholes who thinks Kermit Cintron was a killer, there's not really a huge puncher on that resume... He didn't face anyone that had Cuevas/Hearns/Robinson type of power for sure...

Mosley had good pop, but I don't think he hit anywhere near as hard as someone like, say, Donald Curry

 

Andrew "Six Dickheads" Lewis

 

1st of All, Fuck You For Making REED Have to DEFEND Margarita's Ass in ANY Way:hair:...NOT Cool @ All, Bro...

2nd, Dude Went 10 Years Plus w/Out Taking Soooo Much as a BACKWARDS STEP, After Eating FLUSH, FULLY LEVERAGED Shots from Guys...

No, there Wasn't a Cuevas/Hearns/Robinson in that Mix, but the Sheer VOLUME of Shots Margarita WILLINGLY Digested, Opponent Be DAMNED, Over the Course of his Career, Should Speak For Him...

Cotto (2x), Mosley, Daniel Santos, Pacquiao, Six Heads (No Chins) Lewis...That's Not a Murderer's Row of All Time PUNCHERS, but NONE of those Men Are/Were WITHOUT Punching Power, Either...Neither was Cintron, Despite the Sheer INEPTITUDE of his Boxing Acumen...




REED:hammert:

 

Yep, Dude SUCKED, but he Could PUNCH a Bit Too...




REED:hammert:

 

Bang on. I hate to defend that utter fucking scumbag too, but if there's one thing you can say about him, it's that his ability to take a punch and absorb punishment was truly top tier.

No the fighters he faced weren't Julian Jackson, but he fought guys with solid power, the kind of guys whose punches you don't just walk through like they're nothing - but he did with pretty much all of them.

 

Margarito's chin is ridiculous. He used to look angry when his opponents missed his face.

 

Just Started a CHIN Thread..Speak Your Minds, Fightbeaters...



REED:elmo:

 

I stand by my margarito point... He had a tremendous chin but I'm not putting it in the RARE territory ... The comp and the fact he was actually knocked out by a guy who was not a huge puncher have to count against him in that regard

 

That American Pie remake was pretty dreadful

 

very good beard but glass ribcage. juan soberanes and danny perez put him on the deck with shots downstairs

 

Yup... Obviously he was tough as hell... He'd be in the top 5% of fighters ever when it comes to taking one to the face, I'm not knocking the guy, just putting him into perspective against the chuvalos and LaPortes of the world

 

Kid Gavilan had a fantastic chin ... Never stopped... Dropped twice for flash knockdowns in what, 150 fights? Against stellar opposition on top of it

 

Floyd BRAGGING about fucking TI's wife...

This clown hasn't learned shit from his jail stint.
