    And it's interesting you mention sticky lists because I was actually going to not only ask if you were going to post one, but also if you were going to do separate ones for different weight classes for heavyweight, light heavy, middle, welter and light. Do you think you guys would do stick lists for those or just pound for pound?

    Also, I was thinking of maybe a list of boxing facts, like basic things to know for new fans that want to know about boxing history you guys could maybe post in some kind of sticky topic. Maybe even like an FAQ list like whose considered the best pound for pound boxer of all time and it would say Sugar Ray Robinson aka SRR, stuff like that. I was thinking of typing out some stuff for myself and saving it either way and calling it "What Did I Learn So Far in the Boxing Scene History Section". It would probably have things like who the best pound for pound boxer of all time is, whose considered the best at those weight classes, best resumes, stuff like that I've read in posts here over the years since 2010 that I can remember.
    Yeah, I always feel like Monzon & Hagler get the short end in P4P rankings. If anyone can show me footage of better MWs I'd be impressed (Robinson's best work was WW and Greb we have none).

    I think the big factor that people single them out for is going up through weight class. They feel moving up through various weight classes proves one as being more worthy of a higher ranking. Although I feel long time reign at one class is just as good (assuming you are facing quality opponents or dominating). But everyone seems to have their own criteria.

      Alright thanks, that's what I thought, but I needed to make sure. I like learning about some boxing history here. I definitely agree that dominating one weight class and clearing it out can be just as impressive as moving up weight classes. It's all about resume overall and who a fighter beats regardless of whether they stay at one class or move up. Funny that in MMA fighters move down weight classes sometimes, but not in boxing.
