Joshua is the best HW in the world

[tiny_acres]

There certainly is no way in hell Manny landed 80 punches.

10-2 Mayweather

[Nightmare Roy]

i dont wanna hear this fury, wilder, chubby nonsense. fury lost to john mcdermott and struggled with wallin, a c level heavyweight, just like dermott. wilder, he lost on points against fury and was losing on points against ortiz in arguably both fights, he got atg power, but thats all he got, poor boxing skills. as for chubby, he got 1 lucky day and now will be wrecked. fury, wilder, chubby all struggled.

prior to the loss, what was joshua doing? he had the best record, fought the best names and beat everybody up and rarly struggled unlike the 3 others. just because he had on bad night people act like he is no good.

Wilder would put AJ on the moon right now.

Sounds right. 9-3 or 11-1 would be fine too. Miserable fight, clear, clear winner.

Ya that's fair, but I agree with the guy about the punch stats, of course Floyd landed more, but I don't think either landed as much as reported

148-81 sounds more like total punches thrown....maybe with a few extras counted

[RonnyJ]

No. Both did very litle. At least manny landed some clear punches. Floyd basicly landed 0 meaningful punch in the whole fight. Draw wouldve been ok. I had manny by 2 rds. But both did not much.

Mayweather out land Pacquiao 148-81

On fake stats maybe. On real stats pac outlanded him. They even made a video on youtube to prove it.

Dude stop. This thread isn't serving you well.

[RonnyJ]

Anyone who thinks Manny beat Floyd has got issues.

Manny was the aggressor. There were a lot of close rds in that fight, whoever is the aggressor and does a litle more than his opponent wins the close rd. Manny won the close rds and landed the harder shots.

The fake stats also counted floyds air punches or punches to mannys guard. These fake stats are funny. I remember that youtube video where they counted every single punch landed in a rd where cotto dominated floyd and at the end it was something like 28 landed for cotto and 12 for floyd, the fake stats had something like 20 floyd 8 cotto. Those punch counters are bought!

Just a handful of posters. Ronny is just a fanboy. He doesn't get nasty so he's fine. Adislov and Apollo are getting annoying though. And of course, EO is our EO!

I can tolerate them all.
It still doesn't change the facts.
They're all nuts

Crazy that you're still dealing with this loss almost 5 years later.

Typical though.
People are still arguing over the Lewis Klitchko stoppage

I want to preface this by saying I thought at the time and still do that Mayweather won overall, he landed the cleaner (definitely more eye-catching punches), and controlled space and had the better defence.

BUT to be fair the punch stars were extremely controversial.

Here are the stats from a breakdown of the fight by the daily mail website in the UK.



Pacquiao landed a hell of a lot of punches around or through Mayweathers guard. In response Mayweather would then shake his head to suggest nothing got through. Gamesmanship...
But at the same time Pacquiao quite often was reaching to connect, whilst Mayweather had his feet set and would punch through the target.

Having said that, as can be seen above Mayweather was outlanded by wide margins in a number of rounds. But again in the tight rounds I think it goes to Mayweather by looking at other factors such as ring generalship, effective aggression, and superior defence.

The punch stats as counted in the heat of the night are profoundly suspect (one US commentator who had Pacquaio winning asked if they were compiled by ‘kids from the HBO and Showtime offices’ and was told ‘Yes.’)

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxin ... ision.html

p.s. Is it any coincidence that those posters suggesting Mayweather clearly outlanded Pacquiao, on his way to a clear clear victory, 11-1 etc. etc. also think Wilder drew or won against Fury in what they call a very close fight?

[margaret thatcher]

Omg I wonder if they are USA USA! bois?

But nah, Floyd clearly won, by at least 4 rounds even if you give Pac some benefit of the doubt. I agree on the inflation of punch stats though , the CompuBox guys must've been really eager to count lands., But that goes for both fighters

[Finkel]

When Joshua (and his team) get a camp preparing for an opponent, he does well, when it's a last minute change (Takem, Ruiz) he dosent.
This says a lot about his lack of ring IQ.
He can work to a plan, train his body for what he needs to do to win (Vs Parker for example).
I think he will dominate Ruiz, and leave no need for a trilogy.
Is he the best?
No way of telling.
He might out work Fury, and get a points win. Or the other way around.
And Wilder could easily stop AJ, unless AJ does it first.
Too many intangables.

Great summary. But I don't have your confidence that he will dominate Ruiz Jr.

Guys probably dozed off and their finger accidentally clicked 3 times. Amusing seeing the Brit fury nuthugger cast stones at fanboys of wilder. Most Americans don't know who he is and the majority if American boxing fans liked Manny, not Floyd. Oh well, two garbage fights.

I didn't say anything

Yeah, I agree Floyd won.

But on your final point - whilst I recognize you are perhaps being conciliatory - if you compare compubox to those stats above (and others compiled after the fact) it looks more like the HBO/Compubox guys were eager to count Mayweather's shots whilst discounting Pacquiao's

What's amusing is that you are blind to your own double standard when it comes to your boyfriends

[Rgoodwin]

He got stopped in his last fight and could lose again Saturday.

And Pac lost, move on.

[margaret thatcher]

Ruiz lost to a guy who lost wide to AJ but then he beat AJ. A loss don't mean you can't beat guys better than the guy who beat you. We have seen tons of fighters take losses but then rebound at the same or even a higher level. Josh has some serious fire power and could still pull out a win over anyone though ya hard to rank him still at the top for the moment. Let's see how he does next week and go from there.

Yeah, hopefully most agree with that.

If you prefer the guy with the most belts: Ruiz Jr.
If you prefer the guy with the most defences: Wilder
If you prefer the guy who beat the guy: Fury
If you prefer the guy with the best record of wins: Joshua

But until next week, he is behind the other three.
