Notable mentions to Tuggers, Anorak, Floyd Mayweather, Tony Thompson and my groin.
There is no such thing as "the" pound-for-pound list

Pound for Pound doesn't have anything to do with fighting in multiple divisions or what they would be like at equal weight to another fighter. It simply means that a fighter has met and conquered ALL possible challenges in his weight division over a long career.
Pound for Pound or head to head, when matched up with the best in your weight class, you win 3 out of 5 times. Robinson and Leonard were accorded the designation because they fought the best of their eras and went 9 years and over 40 fights without a loss. That they moved up in weight had no bearing on their status as P4P as long as they didn't leave legitimate contenders in their division unfought when they moved up...which they didn't.
Now folks.....please do your homework before creating your P4P lists.Comment
