INSIDE THE NUMBERS: GGG doubled CompuBox avg. for jabs landed. Only Chocolatito (35) & Santa Cruz (32) landed more punches per round than GGG (28). Santa Cruz avg'd 82 thrown per round (and landed 8 jabs per round) while opponents landed just 24% of their total punches. 30 of Chocolatito's 35 landed punches per round (86%) were power shots. Potential red flag?: Chocolatito's opponents landed 21 punches per round- 4 more than C'box avg.

Ohhh! Danny Garcia should rematch Salka immediately to top this list.

Exactly! This table makes no sense as the level of competition varies too wildly plus some opposition boxers are just there to be hit as they are swarmers or sluggers or pressure fighters.

That's the 1st thing I noticed. GGG good but he's ONLY fought and destroyed Wal-Mart Employees!!! Or Ex-Tomato Cans.

Red flag my ass, Gonzalez just fought Brian Viloria, meanwhile Santa Cruz literally fought a used car salesman on the May/Pac card.


And pretty funny to see a 33 year old MW having the same kind of output as the little guys.

CompuBox Pound for Pound Ratings

Exactly! This table makes no sense as the level of competition varies too wildly plus some opposition boxers are just there to be hit as they are swarmers or sluggers or pressure fighters.

As you know, CompuBox provides statistics, we don't make the fights. We're working on a rating system to grade quality of opposition which be added to the table.

Great. Someone else is coming up with rankings.

As mentioned quality of opposition makes a big hole in deriving any meaning or suggested standing with these rankings. And I'd add that the small sample of fighters who compubox does fights for also makes these a rather meaningless ranking.

Interesting to see the numbers regardless of some of the negatives I & others have. And personally the only compubox number I see much value in is the +/- number. I wish that +/- stat was talked about more & on the bio/record/stat graphics of fights I think its so telling.

[ShoulderRoll]

This table is a perfect example of why quality of opposition has to be factored into P4P lists in some way.

It's easy to rack up impressive statistics if you are fighting nothing but pushovers.
