    Resume has nothing to do with H2H. Resume is purely for legacy and nothing else.

    Agree Spence is h2h the best ww.
    In case you've borrowed pacs coma, both fmj and pac have retired. Though pac still needs $$$ thanks to arum robbing him blind, so I guess you can keep him active, but outside top 10 at ww h2h. He'd get hurt , well, ko'd badly vs many current ww's...

    If Mayweather were to make a comeback I think he beats any 147 pounder right now except Spence and Brook. I believe Pacquiao if he decides to fight on is around the 5th best 147 pounder in the world at this point of his career H2H.

    It means who is the most difficult man to beat in the ring.

    I'd have Vasquez Jr much higher personally. And Floyd still top of the pile.

    I actually think rating Ponomarev in a top 15 coming off an SD over Solomon is every bit as knee-jerk as putting Spence #1 in the division coming off kayoing Algieri..

    Head to head, with the relative meaning kind of depending on context. It can be used to differentiate from "p4p (pound for pound)" or it can be used to differentiate resume/accomplishments in a vacuum from perceived in-ring ability in a vacuum.

    Precisely. h2h is only vaguely related to resume, but not all that much. For example a guy like GGG has a relatively poor resume compared to Canelo Alvarez, but h2h he's the far superior fighter.

    Resume and head to head are separate terms and concepts.

    Mayweather 3 and Pacwuuao 5? Pac just beat the guy many claimed was the best welterweight outside of Floyd and himself. Spence barely got a win against a guy who doesnt have a good win. Brook has one good win and Thurmans best win is Guerrero

    This isn't based on resume. It's h2h ****ysis.
