I'm not really one for pound for pound lists. I think it's hard enough to compare fighters from different eras without comparing those from different eras AND different eras.
That said I am interested to see where people rank Billy Conn. His name is rarely brought up in discussions about the best P4P fighters ever yet his resume is awesome.
He is one of the greatest light-heavyweights ever, he beat a host of hall of famers at middleweight and was competitive at heavyweight as well.
Interestingly Ring ****zine ranked him as the 9th best light-heavyweight (about right I feel) of all time, the 10th best middleweight (probably a little high) and the 57th best boxer P4P of the last 80 years (seems WAY to low for me).
It seems to me Billy Conn has one of THE great boxing resumes. What do you guys think?
