Top 20 P4P January '98

May seem like a bit of a random post to all of you because it's well old but it's a bit of boxing history for you all and I'm bored in University anyway so it gives me something to do. I found this magazine (Total Sports) which showed the current top 20 p4p fighters in boxing in those days and thought it was interesting to see how highly/lowly rated certain fighters were rated back in the day and considering where some of them are now as well. 20. Robin Reid 25-0-1 (18 KO's) WBC Super Middleweight Champion Won 4 Title Fights 19. Ronald Wright 37-1 (22 KO's) WBO Light Middleweight Champion Won 3 Title Fights 18.

Evander Holyfield 34-3 (24 KO's) Three-Times WBA Heavyweight Champion Champion At Two Weights - Won 13 Title Fights 5. Felix Trinidad 32-0 (28 KO's) Former Undefeated IBF Welterweight Champion Won 12 Title Fights 4. Roy Jones Jr. 35-1 (30 KO's) WBC Light-Heavyweight Champion Champion At 3 Weights - Won 10 Title Fights 3. Oscar De La Hoya 26-0 (21 KO's) WBC Welterweight Champion Won Titles At 4 Weight Classes - Won 14 Title Fights 2. Ricardo Lopez 46-0 (36 KO's) WBC & WBO Straw-Weight Champion Won 20 Title Fights 1. Naseem Hamed 28-0 (26 KO's) WBO Featherweight Champion Won 9 Title Fights It is a British magazine so no suprises that Naz is number one here but a bit of pound for pound history. Mad to see that 13 years down the line, Hopkins is still well established in the p4p list (IMO). Again, don't know if you'll like this or not, just a bit of interest and history ini.
