Interesting stuff (after 5 weeks)

Post by Crease »

Five weeks of fighting and here are some interesting notes:

Out of the 39 Managed fighters - only 4 are still unbeaten: Benny Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Marciano and Salvador Sanchez

The best unmanaged fighter so far is Mr Joe Calzaghe, who has won 2 fights out of 2.

Only 2 fighters have 100% records, with 5 wins out of 5: Benny Leonard and Rocky Marciano.

Here are the records for the 3 stoogies:
Eric Esche: - lost three fights, boxed 8 rounds
Eric Crumble: - lost three fights, boxed 4 rounds
Charlie Zelenoff: - lost two fights, boxed 5 rounds

So far 3 Managed fighters have not won a fight yet - they are Floyd Mayweather Jr, Tommy Gibbons and Pernell Whitaker.

The following is a list of fighters who have lost to a CPU fighter already this season:
Peter Jackson (TWICE)
Pancho Villa (TWICE)
Bernard Hopkins
Wilfredo Gomez

Benny Leonard is the only man to beat all managed fighters. He's no bottom feeder.

Some of these draws are not telling enough. Whitaker has drawn with the best of the best......not sure he is anything but top shelf at this point...despite his lack of point accumulation.

Of Leonard's 5 wins, 2 could have easily gone the other way. He's had the rub of the green so far.

Indeed. Arguably Whitaker could have potentially been on the same tally as Benny Leonard. 2 draws with Pep (which Pernell could have won, especially the 2nd one) A majority draw with Ali, which again, could / should have gone in Whitaker's favour, a controversial SD loss to Wilde, which, concievably could have gone his way and an unlucky cuts loss to SRL.

Not had great luck thus far...
