You're veering off course, Miles. The thread isn't about comparing JC's volume of punches with anyone else's. We all know volume punching was Joe's trademark. The thread is about effective punching vs. useless flurries designed not to hurt but to impress. I didn't say JC did it all the time. But he did do it. Against Manfredo... against BHop... it was just one of his techniques. Different fighters have different styles. Some try to overwhelm you with volume. Others pick and choose their spots. They may not throw 1000 punches per round... but the mere 50 they throw they make them count. Again, beauty, the eye of the beholder, and all that.

I also mentioned the timing of these flurries. Oscar was pretty adept at doing them toward the end of rounds, in order to try and steal the round. Again... it's a technique. If it sways the judges, more power to you.
