        Ok, I processed the information through the algorithm and Boxing Scene's conventional wisdom is as follows:

        1. Paquiao's chances of beating Cotto by decision or KO...are exactly 60% Thus, conventional wisdom of this site places Pacquiao as the odds on favorite to win that fight.

        2. Paquiao's chances of beating Mayweather drop a bit because of the Cotto over Mosely votes, that evidently spread the statistical denominator into approaching infinity. Paquiao's chances of beating Mayweather by decision or KO...are exactly 50%. Thus, this site's conventional wisdom says Pacquiao and Floyd are even money contenders.

        3. Cotto's chances of beating Mayweather by decision or KO...are exactly 35%. Thus, this site's conventional wisdom says Mayweather is a solid favorite to win that fight.

        4. Mosely's chances of beating Mayweather by decision or KO...are exactly 57.5%. Therefore, the site's conventional wisdom says Mosely is a slight favorite to win that fight. This was an odd result and must have been influenced heavily by the intangibles inbedded within the algorithm. But, it is what it is.

          Really the last option sticks out the most IMO.

          Horrible, Horrible, Nasty ass knockout.

          It was like a Murder.

            I'll re-run the algorithm if another batch of votes come in that could show on its face that the first computation could be modified within a mean differential. Otherwise, the first 20 votes will probably stand up as accurate without regard to the number of votes actually cast.

              That's interesting that Mosley is favorite to beat Floyd accorinding to this site.

                Pretty interesting stuff. I picked Pacquiao-Hatton, btw.

                  I've received new votes for Marg over Cotto and Floyd over Hatton, but that won't change the results, unless alot more of those votes starts to come in. Will continue to evaluate.

                    Well you need a better list of options , most dominating as the criteria kinda forces the answer in your group .

                      Not for evaluating the fights that are currently on the radar. Nevertheless, if you have a suggestion, by all means state it so it can be considered.
