Compubox doesn't factor in areas on the head and body such as behind the ear, either side of the chin (also known as "the button"), the liver shot etc. If I'm wrong, somebody tell me how the compubox works. When scoring accuracy of a boxer, extra points should be considered for those areas, rather than just "head shots" and "body shots".
BTW, Nigel Benn was pretty accurate.
Bob Fitzsimmons.....
"Where others signally failed, Fitz succeeded through strategic feinting to induce Corbett to raise his guard and open the way for a left shift and a crashing blow to the solar plexus.” .........How Pac will beat Floyd

Hopkins in his prime.
Floyds Pot Shots.
and Manny Pacquiaos last 4 fights.. YEEEEE
but i have to say all time great Salvador Sanchez was ACCURATE. Not a HUGE puncher but a volume puncher that beat you up for 10 or more rounds then Knock you out in the later rounds.
And De La Hoya in the 90's was accurate.
You look at Ray Robinson fights and the guy would throw what looked to be incredibly wild punches and they were pin point accurate.
You can look at some of Ali's fights - like with Cleavland Williams - and it is absolutely amazing.
Jones did some great things too - especially at 168. The 8 punch combinations, that would all land.
James Toney is a very slick fighter - and he did some very accurate punching.
Floyd Patterson was also very accurate.
However; there is no doubt Floyd Mayweather is a very accurate puncher. I love the shot that got Hatton - it really was poetry.
Whitaker was very accurate himself. You have to take into account that Mayweather doesn't throw that many punches. It shouldn't be hard for past greats to have been that accurate if they concentrated on single shots.
I think Floyd is the most accurate according to compubox, but I wouldn't trust that shit. Everyone knows Mayweather has great precision though, shame he doesn't always stay consistent.
