Who has FOUGHT THE MOST Top 10 P4P OPPONENTS IN HISTORY???

[BritJimbo]

I first started getting into boxing in 83, started collecting the magazines, KO was great, the Ring was great until 1988, then it went off the tracks for a few years. Britain's Boxing News was thee authority, respected on both sides of the Atlantic.

Not sure where I was going with this, but when I saw your reference to KO mag it brought back memories.

You need to add Miguel Angel Gonzalez to the DLH list. He was ranked 7-10 on the P4P list when Oscar fought him.

Oh yeah, I forgot De La Hoya fought Gonzalez.

That would put him and Mosley in a first place tie with 7.

Or if you count rematches multiple times it would be

Mosley 10
Pacquiao 9
De La Hoya 8

Gonzalez was on the list for 1994, DLH didn't fight him until 97 and he wasn't on the list at that time.

Ring didn't start doing P4P until 89 i believe, KO mag and ring merged when DLH bought them.

[KO'er]

If you are to count all era's Ali for me.

Liston, Patterson, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, etc.

[Bermuda]

Was Cotto in the p4p top 10 when Pac fought him? I didn't think he was.

he was. the p4p rankings in 2009 was:

1.Manny Pacquiao
2.Floyd Mayweather Jr.
3.Shane Mosley
4.Bernard Hopkins
5.Juan Manuel Marquez
6.Nonito Donaire
7.Miguel Cotto
8.Celestino Caballero
9.Chad Dawson
10.Paul Williams

[elfag]

Hopkins fought Tito, Oscar, and then Winky, Calzaghe, Pavlik and Dawson after turning 40

Mosley fought alot as well...but I would say Oscar fought by far the most

Yeah plus Tarver.

Tito
Oscar
Tarver
Calzaghe
Winky
Pavlik
Dawson

Thats 7, all of them might be top ten at the time. Pavlik, Dawson and Tito had to have been they were undefeated then. He may have 7

[Mr. Fantastic]

Gonzalez was on the list for 1994, DLH didn't fight him until 97 and he wasn't on the list at that time.

You're right about that. I stand corrected but I thought I remembered correctly when he fought him, he was on the P4P list since Gonzalez did not lose till he faced DLH.
