Thanks for the props folks, and to answer your question Greg....indeed it was a slow day at the office.

Basically, I admit that I did have a lot more stats in mind to bring together, but I ran out of patience and the girls in accounts were yelling at me for stealing a calculator.

As for the questions :- the first set of stats were based on the opponents record at the time of fighting, as that is how boxrec lists them.

How about a poll of how many current and former champions each has faced.

An interesting stat would be the KO% of the people they have fought. Just too see how dangerous these opponents really were.

Titles in multiple weight classes should also be a big factor.

Overall, great post and CC for good idea.
I agree that you can make numbers say anything you want, but I'm yet to find a set of stats that puts Joe Calzaghe above everyone else in the p4p list! Weight classes is right to have a look at, cause that is an important one, and I imagine would make Mayweather look even better. I'll try and do it next Tuesday afternoon, as those are the quietest times of every week.
