Fights between P4P #1 and #2

Why would you think that? From what source are you getting that impression? Nobody with any credibility listed Holyfield higher pound for pound than Whitaker in 93.

Usually people followed Ring Magazines p4p list in the 90's. The link provides Ring magazines list from the 90's. Holyfield was not higher during any point in the 90's.

Why do people think those are actual P4P rankings. Those are year end rankings that come out in the spring and represent best what happened that year not who best fighters were at any one specific moment in time. I think recently Boxrec has started using the last Ring Magazines website update for the year which is what most people think the older ones are

You were the one who made the comment that Holyfield was rated higher in 93. If you don't respect p4p ratings then you should have never made that statement. You can't have it both ways. If you don't agree with this, post your source that has Holyfield higher at any point in 93. If one exists it shouldn't be hard to find.

yes, and he jumped two weight classes to get there.

mayweather was unranked p4p, though, if memory serves right. he was coming off of his longest layoff.
