Most Dangerous/Powerful Weight Classes By KO Percentage

[-Kev-]

For those curious about MW with all fighters numbers added:

359 Wins, 214 KO's, 59%.

ko percentage doesn't mean you can punch. calzaghe has a high ko percentage.

So what is the best fghter part for?
So you can drop your biased fantasy list on us?
Hernandez lol Even if you believed that he was, no way is it concensus.
Since this is about titlists, I wont rag on Danny too much. He is the best choice in a room full of drek.
Roman and Estrada need to rematch before you go on deciding that. You seem eager to jump the gun there.

Right, that's why it's best to simply include the top ten. Too many variables here considering who is the best fighter.

Did it myself, took me 45 minutes.

You see how there is data for just about everything in a sport like baseball? For example, what is a batter's average in the day time, and what is it in the night time. What is a teams winning % at home, what is it away.

I feel like boxing does not have any reporters, commentators, journalists compiling this information for the fans. Statistical information about every aspect of the sport gives boxing more life. The best they do is talk about compubox and that's not enough IMO.

Yeah - I agree that there could be more info out there. Boxstat.co is kinda cute and relatively new and I believe still quite incomplete but like most boxing databases focusses on individual achievements.

Problem is Boxing is a sport that as a whole is it's not easy to apply valid statistical method over and between the varied weightclasses and the different frequencies with which guys fight. Fighters bounce up and down in weight for money fights or climb the weighclasses through their careers, they get injured or simply choose not to fight and that's even before the politics start....

From a stats viewpoint boxing is entirely different to regular team sports with a annual scedule and high frequency of match-ups, or even other individual sports like say tennis with regular top level tournaments, so you gotta be especially wary with interpretation of boxing data. I mean - how do you use comparative stats in a sport in which, in most cases, oponents can be chosen by the likely winner ffs?

Me, I just like watching the **** over a few drinks...I've got some stats background but I'll leave that to those more dedicated than myself.

KO % depends on how many bums you fight.

KO% should be based on opps with at least 15 wins and a win-loss record ratio no smaller than 3-2.

Except your statement is true for every division . They all have bums getting sparked out by top 10 fighters.

In the end the numbers don't lie because all other things are equal except weight.

numbers do lie, you buffoon.

i don't even understand what you're trying to say.

that's why all these stats are crap for most sports.

their nice sometimes but still worthless.

[Check_hooks]

This is an interesting angle for sports betting

But I disagree with OP's "consensus pick" for WW and JWW

[Suckmedry]

it's welterweight imo.

most atg.

most hofers.

big enough to ****.

fast enough to catch you without you seeing.

also active enough. may not be 112/126 pace but doesn't slow in action like 160 and up fights.

Yeah, welterweight has always been my favourite weight class and i think a lot of other fans feel the same.

That said there is something irreplaceable about the drama of a HW bout with two true punchers. Its always a split second away from the end.
