Top #2 P4P = Mega Fight... But when next?

[just the facts]

Pound for pound is just a matter of personal opinion of how good someone THINKS a fighter is. It can't be proven and is seldom agreed on by all fans or boxing writers or rating places. Lots of people didn't have Mayweather and Pacquiao as 1 and 2 when they fought. Right now I think GGG is the best pound for pound with Gonzalez 2nd. Lots of posters think GGG doesn't belong in the top 10 pound for pound but I make my own choices. Gonzalez and GGG can never fight each other. Canelo won't be considered pound for pound number 2 by the majority no matter how well he performs in the Cotto fight. It was just a coincidence that Mayweather and Pacquiao were both fighting as welterweights and were both rated by many as the 1st and 2nd best pound for pound. It will probably never happen again. There are so many good fighters in so many different weight classes that the odds are very high against the 1st best and the 2nd best fighting in the same weight class.

So your p4p number one (ggg) has exactly ZERO quality wins? You sure have low standards

1993: Whitaker vs. Chavez
2015: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

That's the only two times since the Ring started tracking the list. Hopkins vs. Jones would have been the 3rd around 2002 but they couldn't agree on purse split.

Trinidad/De La Hoya should be in between those two IMO!

I don't see how you can be ranked in a top 10 p4p list without facing, let alone beating elite comp. Makes no sense to me.

I don't think its happening for awhile, but when it does it'll probably be @ 140, 147.

I guess if GGG keeps rising & Ward doesn't move up to 175 there is some chance they could be it, but I'd lean towards the fight not happening & if it does they won't be 1, 2. Ward seems the most likely next #1 guy so anything 1 vs 2 is gonna need to involve him & there just aren't a ton of top 5 level guys around his weight typically.

Roy Jones was P4P #1 in 1999.
