Hopkins landed 259 punches on Tarver....it is like 25% of the punches Calzaghe landed on Lacy....

Totally landed shots in the fight 385. Calzaghe alone landed 1006 punches on Lacy and his rate of hits was about 70%
You can't compare this fight to Lacy vs. Calzaghe... both of these guys have good defense, and don't throw all that many punches... Look at Roy Jones Jr., Young Ali, Floyd Mayweather Jr. ... its just something you see from the more skilled fighters that they don't need to throw as many punches because they make their punches count. BTW they are far older than they used to be.
