so I just started typing in some boxers' names and it gives you how many results, very interesting in terms of seeing fighters popularity. of course it does not equal drawing power, but it is pretty interesting and there is obviously some correlation. Ill name some of the top fighters I can think of and their results, add whoever else you can think of, or name them and ill find their results
*I spelled the names just like this, so results for nicknames didnt equate in this, and also im sure some of the videos had nothing to do with the fighters
Floyd Mayweather- 2,342
Manny Pacquiao- 1,618
Ricky Hatton- 1,120
Oscar DeLaHoya-950
Miguel Cotto- 303
Bernard Hopkins- 407
Joe Calzaghe- 364
Juan Manuel Marquez- 279
Roy Jones- 1,570
Kelly Pavlik- 233
Mike Tyson- 4,642
Antonio Margarito- 121
Zab Judah- 256
Shane Mosely- 272
You tube certainly help expose the travesty that was the Reid / Ottke fight. A number of people have gone off and seen the fight for themselves after reading a post on it and reposted in disbelief at how the ref and judges got away with such cheating, especially the bits where Reid gets warned for Ottke headbutting HIM and even more so when he gets warned for punching his opponent, yes, not foul punching, not low punching.........just punching his opponent!!! A bit difficult to box someone if your stopped from hitting them by a referee!! Roy Jones Jr vs Park Si-Hun is another must see clip to remind us how grubby the sport can be.

there was column written by claude abrams recently in the Boxing Monthly saying how youtube has become a hotbed for the latest fights etc ,he was talking about the controversial fight between Holt & Torres saying within hours the fight was up on youtube so u could witness what all the controversy was about etc
Basically he was giving youtube the thumbs up for having so many fights available .gotta be god for Boxing :fing02:
This may not be the best measure since results are going to increase leading up to a fight. I'd be curious to see where Bernard and Calzaghe stood a few months ago.
