i see what you are saying about paul williams........ you have to admit that the fact that he beat marg at welter and is now fight winky at 160 is impressive...... i dont like paul, but, but that is p4p material.

Thats what Im talking about, he's not cherry picking, but fighting a serious threat that many would even favor.

i dont see how you can deny pac and floyd of those #1 p4p spots tho.. pac

I don't. But I base it more on how they dominated their lower divisions than any recent rise in weight classes.

first of i would like to say that this in no way is an attempt to bash fighters.

p4p rankings is a measurement of skill and proof. what i mean by that is the best p4p fighters are the ones who move up in weight and take over divisions... plz, correct me if im wrong

some examples are roy jones, floyd mayweather, manny pacquiao and jmm.

now the question here is:
how the hell are fighters like ricky hatton, joe calzaghe, and chad dawson on the p4p list?

all of them are great fighters no doubt, but doesnt it defeat the purpose of p4p if they dont fight in multiple weight classes?

plz comment/explain

using your logic Marvin Hagler and Muhammad Ali would never be on any p4p list....

thats not true.
A: ali was a heavyweight, so obviously he cant move up in weight
B marvin hagler would make the list no bodbt, but as far as reachin number 1-3, him not fighting in different weight lessens his chances.
Im not sayinng that weight is the only things that matter. but it edges out the other factors almost always. I think thats y the #1 p4p fighters always dominate multiple divisions

Somebody didn't do their homework and just got an F.

And on the following page after I posted the description from Wikipedia which states clearly that the P4P ranking system was created because of Robinson.

Oh dear.

And here is the description again, for those who missed it the first time.

Pound for pound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pound-for-pound is the term used in boxing, mixed martial arts and other combat sports to describe a fighter's value in relation to fighters of different weight classes.

Origin of the term

It is often said to have been created to describe world Welterweight and Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson. Robinson is one of the most accomplished fighters of all time, but his supporters realized that, while he could beat anyone in his own class, as a Middleweight he would not be able to beat a top Heavyweight. Hence, Robinson was called the pound-for-pound best without being expected to beat much larger fighters, under the belief that he as a Middleweight was still a better quality fighter than any fighter fighting at heavier or lighter weights than him.
