26%? That makes no sense..He said how many. That's like saying what did you eat for tea? oh 4.5% of the fridge.
He landed 111 punches compared to Manny's 81.
That is such a pointless statistic and it has been put out there without any context to it. Floyd respected Manny, he was way over the hill when they fought but he was still a world champion at several weights and posed a genuine threat. As such, Floyd was more pragmatic. He knew Manny had power, he knew he could cause him problems and he was not going to be reckless against him.
Against Conor? He treated at as an exhibition fight because that is all it was. Floyd doesn't walk his opponents down very often. He was happy to eat some jabs and weak rights and lefts from Conor to go forward and get into range to land his own punches. That was a huge change in style for Floyd and it is something that non-boxing fans seem to miss spectacularly. He didn't do that against Manny or the other champions he faced because it would be asking for trouble.
Conor landed a few decent punches but that is because on the main Floyd wasn't concerned with getting hit and he didn't respect Conor's power which proved to be non-existent. If Floyd had made it a defensive masterclass and potshotted his way to victory as he has done in the past against serious boxers then he would have been laughed out of the room and rightly so. He beat up Conor because Conor isn't a boxer. It is not hard.
