Can a HW be on the P4P list?

no my friend you are wrong. lets take tyson retaining his power and drop him to mw............can you see how dumb that sounds.

I'm not wrong and yes it's dumb if taken too literally...that's why it shouldn't be taken too serious.

It's supposed to be comparable, it's not Tyson with his heavyweight power at middleweight, it's if Tyson was a middleweight and had exceptional middleweight power like he had exceptional power at heavyweight.

i know.......that was a respnse to people saying srr or pacman would move up in weight and retain all their speed/agility/power.... it has to work both way as you said..

Going that way, again it is hypothetical, imagine if there was a heavyweight equivalent of Manny Pacquiao. P4P is supposed to strip away the height classes, make it irrelevant, and judge fighters based on their skills and record. That's why most heavyweights simply don't qualify for the p4p top 10, and none today should be there. Fighters in the lower weight classes typically have more skill and talent.

i agree but on the other hand it takes skill and talent to move and box well when you are 240 pounds...

I read the latest BS P4P list and see there are no heavyweights on there, again

I thought pound 4 pound meant based on a boxer's skill, if they were bigger they would dominate?

So the list seems to be small guys , but cant it be big guys - saying IF they were smaller, they would dominate smaller divisions?

e.g. D Haye wss unified cruiserweight world chamption and now is HW world champion, is that not p4p?

Dude do you think a WW who fought like the Klitskos could win at that weight. The Klits have average speed, average movement, average speed, and average everything. The only thing great about them is their physical advantages they have over their opponents. A WW with those skill sets will be lucky to win any fights.
