      your mum's car and a golf ball are the only items on your list that could score a knockout.... of course they couldn't do it alone, they need the help of a dirty, rotten chav.

          Assuming it's not a joke to prove Kayjay's point.

            Let's assume that is isn't for the sake of argument.

              Pavlik would skull-**** Wlad if he were as big a heavyweight as he is middleweight.

              For the sake of argument.

                  I think you're all misunderstanding what P4P means.

                  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.

                    I know that.

                    For the sake of non-argument.

                      Pound for pound was originally created with the intention to rate people across weightclasses. Nr.1 would be the one who was most likely to beat every other fighter in every weightclass if they were the same weight naturally.

                      You just demonstrated Kayjay's points.
