    Is Mike Tyson the only Heavyweight to be ranked #1 p4p by Ring?

    Anyone have any old issues where there's a heavyweight ranked number one P4P?

    If not what's the highest any other heavyweight has been ranked? I'd imagin it would be Evander Holyfield somewhere in the top 5?

    Mike Tyson was ranked #1 in 1989, which was the first year they did p4p rankings, I believe.

    Just wondering..

        Here are the highest rankings on the P4P list for HW fighters Larry Holmes was number 3 in 1983-84, Tyson was number 1 in 89

        Michael Spinks was number 6 in 1986, Holyfield number 3 in 1988, Rid**** Bowe was number 6 in 1992, Roy Jones in 2003 after beating Ruiz was number 1, Lennox Lewis was number 8 in 2000 and most recently Wlad at number 10.

              I didn't know they had P4P rankings before 89.

              Thanks for the info.

                1. shane mosley
                2. felix trinidad
                3. Roy Jones
                4. Oscar De La Hoya
                5. Diego Corrales
                6. Naseem Hamed
                7. Floyd

                Out of that whole list, he should've been at 7 at best since i think Hamed should be lower than him.
