Good info but using the last 5 fights instead of a whole career might give a clearer picture.I'm guessing Wlad has dropped off a little.,Joshua/Wilder is the fight to make

compubox is utter trash. i think we have good enough technology to stop guessing what happens. maybe during a fight ok...but even after the fight has taken place and can be reviewed for accuracy...its not.

Interesting reading.

Boxing is definitely behind the times when it comes to analytics. So many sports have incorporated forward-thinking into their research and development, "sabermetric" teams/people are standard almost everywhere.

Most people who trash this kind of information, are scared to move with the times and let go of simplicity.

Boxing would do well to catch up.

I agree with the posters who think that it is largely pointless

some aspects of that breakdown may be valuable to trainers

but it does not account for styles/levels/opposition/experience

all the relevant stuff

statistics are often like a bikini.....

they give you a rough idea whats going on, but they hide all the good stuff

Wilder is still **** and a bumslayer.

Embarrasing to call him a HW champ really.

When you've guys like Parker and Joshua holding belts why is it embarrassing for Wilder, he's no more or less of a title holder than they are. To md not one of them is champion but all contender level, they just need face each other that's the missing component.

Parker has beat Takam and Ruiz, Wilder has a solid win versus Stiverne and I'm not really sure Joshua has a credible win yet but he could if he gets last Klitschko not that I believe he will.
