I’d sooner have AJ on a pound for pound list than Spence or Crawford. And people’s t.its absolutely fall out when they see a heavyweight on any pound for pound list.

AJ and Wilder would be s.hite if you shrunk them to 10 stone 7. Which since Mayweather is the land of the pound for pounders. People can’t wait to shoehorn those fighters in there.
But surely it should be about accolades and fighters who compete at their optimum level.
If you’re using the eye test then that ain’t happening. Just my opinionLast edited by Sparked_26; 10-16-2018, 08:44 AM.

"If you’re going back 10 years what about Mayweather & Pacquiao"?..................................
Most regard both fighters as elite at 147, I do NOT!
Floyd at 130lbs was very good and a top twenty talent at that weight.
Manny at the lower weights was a terrific competitor and exciting performer.
Again most fans here think of both of them as great welters, they are NOT!
So ten years ago neither man was performing at their best!
Today every body is "great" and "elite" without boxrec no one on here would have an opinion!!
