    --- 25 years in 2016 takes us to 1991.

    2 yrs earlier Ring launched the first p4p poll. Mike Tyson was the inspiration, and now upon the 30th anniversary of the Ring inaugural p4p rankings, Manny has fought, beat, and knocked out more Ring p4pers in history with no fighter being close.

    Fat Dan and Larded Loony Teddy may wax ****** incessantly, but Manny also the best by boxrec or espn p4p rankings...

    Read it and weep for thee lessers...

      yeah pacquiao by a landslide. His resume is ATG status and that is saying a lot when you got older fighters that fought in a more competitive system / time

        Good list Nelson but

        - Oscar is far too highly ranked
        - no Tapia, Canelo, wonjongkam
        - screwy order I.e sweetpea was robbed against JCC but is lower

          --- JC with double the fights and titles.

          Duva sacrificed his lesser fighters to protect pea until JC was past his best. Maybe if pea clowned less and fought harder he would've won over the judges. In the end they both succumbed to the nose candy that comes with success.

            Wards two fights at LHW pushes him right up the list.

                What a difference three years makes. If we go back 25 years from 2019, we have to consider their careers from 1994 to now.

                1 - Pacquiao
                2- Roy Jones
                3- MAB
                4- Morales
                5- DLH
                6- Toney
                7- Calzaghe
                8- Roman Gonzalez
                9- Ricardo Lopez
                10-Loma
