How this era is compiled

  1. Every published fighter this site files under 2000s boxing — 481 of them. Membership is stated by the source, never assigned to fill a cohort.
  2. The decade is MEASURED, not projected: it is the decade holding more of a fighter's dated bouts than any other. A fighter with fewer than three dated bouts has no decade here and appears in no era cohort.
  3. Medians, not means — one outlier should not move the typical figure.
  4. A cohort is only published at 30 fighters or more. Below that a median is a rumour, so no page is emitted and nothing links to one.
reach advantage = (reach − height) ÷ height × 100

Standing questions

What this cohort does and does not say

How many 2000s boxing fighters have a reach on record?
240 of 481. Reach is stated in the English Wikipedia infobox for those and absent for the rest, so every reach figure on this page — including the median — describes only the 240. It is not extrapolated to the others.
Why do some decades have no page here?
A decade is published only where at least 30 fighters belong to it. Below that a median is a rumour, so no page is emitted and nothing links to one. A fighter's decade is also measured, not estimated — it is the decade holding more of their dated bouts than any other, and a fighter with fewer than three dated bouts belongs to no decade at all.
