    He's not saying he's judging winners and losers by Compubox, and it's a bit of an overreaction to say it's good for nothing just because some people put too much weight on it. It has it's uses. For example:

    If the question is "Has Hopkins' output diminished over the years?", most people would automatically assume yes because of his age and wouldn't bother counting to actually check the numbers. In that case, Compubox is vital because nobody else would actually do the legwork on it.

    The day I saw them stating that Calzaghe had landed 500+ (or something like that) power shots, on Hopkins, was the day I gave up on them (not that I ever followed them in the first place).

    hopkins was at his physical peak against glen johnson, he could throw a 100 punches a round, and was still defensively good. hopkins win over johnson for me is in his top three along with the pavlik and trinidad fights.
