    I'd vote if the options available weren't drivel from a sad, pathetic mind.
    Why you all Mayweather fans don't want to vote? LOL
    Aren't you all proud of believing CompuBox is accurate? HAHA.

    I know why... Compubox is the only reason why you all like to believe that Floyd won that fight. And you just won't admit it.

    But also, in the other way, if you Floyd fans vote that you don't believe in Compubox, you still lose that "evidence" you use to say Floyd won that fight.

    It's a lose-lose situation for you Floyd fans, that's why you don't wanna vote.

      This too. I don't know why people get so offended over compubox...it's just a novelty for people watching the fights, just like punch zone. I don't see anyone up in arms about the inaccuracies of compubox for some rndom undercard.

        So you'd rather have nothing? That's fine too i guess. They are just trying to put together a production that entertains the fans. Anyone who knows how to score a fight isn't waiting for the compubox stats anyway.

          Compubox is used by Floyd fans to argue that he beat Pacquiao. They don't have anything else to back their claim. The only clear way of verifying who outlanded who, is replaying the fight and watching carefully in slow motion.
          That procedure, which is the most scientific way of verifying punches, is ridiculized by Floyd fans because Pacquiao outlands Floyd when that analysis is done.

          They prefer Compubox over fair analysis.

            It's not true. It shouldn't be necessary to say any more, but for argument's sake it also presents misleading pictures of fights.

              I definitely don't put much faith in it. It's a cool concept and I wish it were that easy but it is not.

              How many times have you seen a knockout or knockdown and had to watch the replay to see what happened since the punch was short or the camera just missed it at the angle it was shot during the time? I had to see the replay of Wilder's KO of Szpilka to see the knockout punch because I missed it the first time.

              When watching live fight, it is nearly impossible to keep up with punches thrown and landed along with feints and you also have to decide what was a punch and what was more or a pawing shot to set a guy up and things like that. It's really just not practical.

              And of course, there is the corruption angle. Most fans are not going to sit in front of their TV and count the punches all night. So at the end of the fight, who landed more? Well, the announcers will tell us of course! And announcers always have an agenda these days, jumping on one fighter's bandwagon or the other.

              It's another concept that works in theory, but is quickly shot full of holes in practice.

                When it's so corrupt as it happened in the Mayweather-Pacquiao or in the Mayweather-Cotto fight, what would you expect? I don't want any of those biased corrupt "stats".

                  If you were remotely clever (don't worry, you aren't), you'd realise that Compubox isn't the reason Floyd wins fights.

                  If you want to have a conversation about Compubox, we can do that, but all this snivelling about a fighter that has so clearly ruined your life is a waste of my time.

                    I couldn't tell you...cuz i haven't watched the entire fight in slowmo, and i don't intend to. Judges can't use slowmo to judge live fights...so it's ultimately irrelevant. Do you go back and review every close fight in slowmo?

                      And you still didn't present your arguments. You just pretend to be smart. Can you list all your reasons why "floyd win fights"?. Of course he won a lot of fights. But particulary why he beat Pacquiao. And another question? Did Floyd outland Pacquiao?
