BOXING News – Mayweather vs Pacquiao: 5 common opponents CompuBox Stats comparison

by
mayweather-vs-pacquiao-official-poster-2015-05-02

Yesterday we analyzed some numbers, records and statistics about Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao, but in the sweet science the most important things are punches. So today, as we promised in the previous post, we want to compare Floyd and Pac-Man through the Compubox Stats. We start to examine their last fight in which both boxers got an unanimous decision win in twelve rounds and then we analyze five opponents they had in common: Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto.

Mayweather and Pacquiao’s last fight

Floyd Mayweather Jr Manny Pacquiao
CompuBox Statistics Mayweather vs Maidana 2 UD12 Pacquiao vs Algieri UD12
punches thrown 326 669
punches landed 166 (51%) 229 (34%)
jabs thrown 149 259
jabs landed 64 (43%) 42 (16%)
power punches thrown 177 410

punches thrown x round 27,16 55,75
punches landed x round 13,83 19,08
punches “eaten” x round 10,66 9

As you can see, Pacquiao performed better than Mayweather in their last fight (except for the accuracy): Manny threw more punches and he even ate less shots than Floyd. The problem is that Maidana and Algieri are obviously two different boxers, so in the next tables you can compare Mayweather and Pacquiao with the same opponents.
