    Mayweather's performances cannot be compared to Hopkins.
    Bernard was looking for a singhle shot and it would have been impressive had he stopped Calzaghe in that fashion.
    Mayweather makes the opponent resepect his power by throwing in combination. Those are two things Bernard failed to do.
    Ypu cannot say that Calzaghe respected Bernards power or was afraid of getting stopped when he was the aggresive fighter all night.

    If landing less-telling punches meant that fighters would not be scored rounds, then fighters like Malignaggi, Williams and even the great Pernell Whittaker wouldn't be succesful at all.


    True.
    Bernard was tired at the end and used the last low blow to grab a break.
    The only time i've ever used punchstats is for the ODLH vs Mayweather fight, and even those stats aren't completely accurate either. Im not turning anything around the fact is Hopkins landed the cleaner more effective blows, in some of those rounds according to punchstats Calzaghe out landed Hopkins by 9 or 10 punches, for example in the 10th round according to the stats Hopkins landed 13 punches, where as Calzaghe landed 23 punches, now out of those 13 punches they were all clean effective punches, where as Calzaghe's 23 punches were mostly pitter patter, im actually glad now you gave me the punch stats because you have actually helped my argument, i scored the 10th round for Hopkins, the 8th round for Hopkins, Hopkins landed 15 punches in the 8th round, where as Calzaghe landed 22, now again 15 of Hopkins punches were effective where as Calzaghe's 22 punches were mostly pitter patter, I also scored all the first 4 rounds for Hopkins based on his punches being more effective. The punchstats in those rounds aren't one sided at all when you take into account how many of Hopkins punches were solid effective punches, where as Calzaghe was mostly landing pitter patter. Again Donny your missing the point i never compared Mayweather to Hopkins in that way, what i meant is that Hopkins out put was low like Mayweather's but when he threw he made his punches count.
    Initially, these 3 threads prove that you have indeed advocated punch stats in the past and gone against others who claimed their fighter scored the cleaner harder punches.

    Ice, if you get into the ring and get hit by an elite level boxer, even his jabs will hurt. "pitty Pat" punching is disrespectful to the sport. You know this.
    By disrespecting a victorious world champion you disrespect the sport.


    Mayweather raised his punch output every time he has needed to. Hopkins was trying to grab a break for the last six rounds.

    Fact is, Calzaghe won fairly.
    Oh please Donny i hinted once at the punch stats in Marquez vs Pacquiao 2 fight because someone was going on about opinions don't matter thats why i mentioned punch stats or something like that, and Lewis vs Holyfield 1 and Pernell Whitaker vs Chavez are you being serious Donny ?? i mentioned that because they were robberies thats completely different. I just mis read what you said regarding Whitaker you was on about Tito vs Whitaker, well i will correct myself and say i mentioned punch stats in that fight because i was shocked the punch stats were so close considering Tito won about 9 rounds.

    And are you trying to be funny or something Donny ?? i respect the sport more than your ever know. I train very hard when im getting ready for a fight and i respect every boxer who has a go at boxing it takes a lot of courage to get into the ring, most of my family have done boxing and i was brought up to respect boxing so please do not go there with me Donny, so what other way should i describe Calzaghe flurries in Hopkins fight ?? he throws a lot of those punches with almost an open glove which is pitter patter to me.
