5 previous #1 p4p fighters?

[mrpain81]

Pretty Sure ring Magazine had it like this

Pretty Boy floyd (by default when Nard Lost to Taylor)

Bernard Hopkins (by default after ROY was KTFO)

Roy Jones

Shane Mosley ( also Got there after beating DLH)

Felix Trinidad ( was there for small period after beatin DLH)

Roy Jones

Oscar Delahoya (he was there about a year)

Roy Jones

[Technical_Skill]

I think James Toney may have been p4p number one before Wittaker, and anyways there have only been a few undisputed p4p number one's, by this i mean when the boxing communinty accepted a fighter was legitmately the best in the sport. Thats why i dont count B-hop because for me he was never the best fighter in boxing when he was p4p number one, personally i thought Morales was a better fighter and also moved up in weight fighting the best.

Imo, the last two legit p4p number ones are Mayweather and Jones.

[Tuggers1986]

I'd have it something like this...

Floyd Mayweather Jr 2005 - Present
Bernard Hopkins - 2004
Roy Jones Jr - 2003
Bernard Hopkins 2002
Shane Mosley 2000 - 2001
Oscar De la Hoya 1998 - 1999
Roy Jones Jr 1996 -1997
Pernell Whittaker - 1993 - 1995
Julio Ceser Chavez - 1990 - 1992
Mike Tyson - 1988 - 1989

[SkillspayBills]

All damn good fighters for sure. The real question is who will be number 1 after Floyd retires.

[Thread Stealer]

Trinidad was there for a while.

Does that mean the p4p list is bull****? And these things can only be judged in hindsight?

people take p4p too seriously. it may be a fun tool to gauge fighters, but i'm not really into it.

too much speculation and "what ifs".

Trinidad was never considered the #1 P4P, at least not by Ring Magazine.
