The smaller the standard deviation, the more we agree on that fighter. The larger the standard deviation, the less we agree.
Interesting. So there is significant disagreement on Holmes, Marciano, Dempsey, Lewis, Holyfield, Jeffries, Langford, Tunney, Wills. 5 out of these 9 fighters are from before 1930, where video evidence is limited and when the color line was preventing significant matchups. 2 (3 if you count Homes) are recent fighters whose historical standing is difficult to assess at this stage.
