Chavez, Whitaker, Mayweather, Pacman: Who Had the Strongest Run as P4P King?

[-PBP-]

Beginning in 1989, Ring Magazine began ranking the Top 10 Pound for Pound fighters in the world. Since then, only 4 fighters have remained number one for at least 3 consecutive years:

Julio Cesar Chavez (1990, 1991, 1992)

Pernell Whitaker (1993, 1994, 1995)

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (2005, 2006, 2007)

Manny Pacquiao (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011)


Who had the strongest run during their reign as Pound for Pound King in terms of achievements, dominance and competition faced?

[Panginoon]

Pacquiao no doubt. He's the only one that was awarded fighter of the decade.

-He's explosive
-Built up rivalries with some of the most dominant Mexican names in boxing
-KOs everywhere

Mayweather. Only reason Pacquiao got the P4P 1 spot in the first place was when Floyd left. IMO once Floyd came back in my book he became P4P number 1 again.

It's like Jordan leaving the NBA in 1993 but coming back in 1995 and reclaiming his spot as the HNIC in the league

True..... I meant in or near his weight class..... I apologize.... Should've been a lil bit more clearer

I agree - Roy Jones were the best fighter in the 90's.

well who's ****ing fault was it that Floyd wanted to step out right when his division was stacked?

he mighta looked vulnerable had he tried to clean his division and lost that spot anyway

but we'll never know because he conveniently left



mothe****ers act like he stepped out of the game because he was injured or some ****...he stepped out to protect himself

gotcha


yea, during the 90s, there was a good debate on who was the true #1...Roy was comin on strong...rarely losing a round in any fight and Pea, before he faded was almost just as dominant


what was cool was James Toney was also highly ranked in the p4p rankings when he fought Roy...some lists had Roy at 2 and Toney at 3 when they went at it...a true p4p showdown
