It's impossible for a Heavyweight to be #1 P4P going by the standards of P4P

[KO'er]

Winning titles in multiple weight divisions seems to be the measuring stick for climbing up the P4P ladder. Mayweather and Pacquiao are an example of this. Meanwhile a Heavyweight fighter will only win a title in 1 division because once you go over 200lbs there are no more divisions, only Heavyweight.

Look at Wladimir Klitschko. 18 title defences and he is on average around #5 P4P, the odd time I see him at #3 P4P. This is my opinion anyway.

Pound 4 Pound... the meaning, the concept... understand it.

That's because some believe if we hypothetically take a Pacquiao or Mayweather and plump them up 100 pounds and make them 6'7" that they could beat Klitschko.

I'm not a historian. But the way I see it is that the HW champ was always considered the biggest, baddest dog on the block.

If you have Wlad in your P4P list, not mad at you.

But I always saw it as a list for discussion for fighters in the lower weight divisions.

Its easy to put the heavyweight at #1. If he's dominant as hell then you can't question him really. Its truly impossible to supersize a small fighter because he simply wouldn't fight the same if he was actually that big.

The bigger you are the harder it is to learn to box.

Mike Tyson was P4P #1 in the late 1980s, wasn't he?

[Sweet Pea 50]

Because Mike Tyson was fucking awesome.

The legitimate heavyweight champion will always be the true best fighter in the world so p4p doesn't matter to a legitimate heavyweight champion. P4p is imaginary.

Unfortunately since guys 10 weight divisions apart can't fight each other, it often turns into a popularity contest.

If a heavyweight was popular enough and beat enough popular opponents (they would need to be from a select group of countries), he could definitely be p4p #1.

That's because some believe if we hypothetically take a Pacquiao or Mayweather and plump them up 100 pounds and make them 6'7" that they could beat Klitschko.

Yeah those people have a hard time understanding size shapes style not the other way around. They want to see a 6'8" man "bob and weave".

If Anthony Joshua is as good as some believe, it might happen
