Is it Possible for a Heavyweight to be P4P?

It's possible, but not likely these days. Any fighter most dominant in their division can make the list.

Didn't Ricky Hatton used to be rated in the top 10???:fu2: I think Muhammad Ali is one of the top 10 P4P IMO he's the greatest and best... Ray Robinson was amazing but he didn't have to fight Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Norton, and Liston. The man fought Lamotta 6 times and beat him 5 times... That shows there really wasn't anybody around at his time.

it used to be my good man

Pound for pound is not about changing weight division, it's about if there was no size advantage for either fighter who would win. Which is why it's hard for big heavyweights like Lennox Lewis or Wladimir Klitschko to ever be rated p4p: There size forms part of their advantage over their opponent. If you remove that advantage they may not be as successful. So Tyson, at less than 6' and under 220 lbs at times was effective despite his short stature and was easy to rate as a pound for pound fighter.

nice proof..you the man "vicious right"

Show me where Tyson was ever ranked in the p4p ratings? I was using him as an example, the question was a heavyweight dropping weight to fight smaller guys. I just used Tyson because in his prime he was a smallish heavyweight usually weighing around 212 - 216lbs. foo :nonono: http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine%27s_Annual_Ratings:_1989

you're asking two different questions. tyson WAS top p4p in his prime. Show me where Tyson was ever ranked in the p4p ratings?

Heavyweight division isn't what it use to be.
