No love for Archie Moore?, he fought everyone Burley + Charles did and a whole lot more.

Francois Botha should be ranked over Sam Peter:

This is who Botha fought in his career:

Mike Tyson
Lennox Lewis
Wladimir Klitschko
Evander Holyfield
Michael Moorer
Shannon Briggs

Imagine if he beat all those people? Hed be GOAT for sure...

He rarely faced bigger guys if he did at all.
But he should not b far from there either

Good surprising mention , currently you may be correct.
I will now push him 1 place above Peter .

[Tyson.]

De La Hoya fought

Mosleyx2
Chavezx2
Whitaker
Mayweather
Pacquiao
Hopkins
Trinidad

he deserves to be in the P4P list.

When I came to place him it turned out 2 places over Peter , which is 1 over Ali

Although all are big names , the first 5 were smaller men.
An emphasis of this reasoning :
If Wladimir Klitschko fought Floyd Mayweather , who is undeniably better P4P , should such a thing prove him as a P4P fighter ?
Same for Floyd's move with Marquez.
And to the contrary : if Marquez moved up from featherweight to lightweight and stopped 2 champions there , whom were rightfully not considered great P4P fighters , was it enough to justify a boost in his P4P ranking ? definitely .
