what does 'pound for pound' mean for you?

He does have a greater resume than him for sure. You know who i think the better fighter is though, if they fight i don't think it's too close,

 

I´m not as convinced as in the past if he would beat Pac but I still think he would. Pac´s obviously greater though.

 

I think Mayweather's generalship has both matured and gotten better with age myself, i'm convinced. They're both ****s for not making the fight happen anyway, **** them both, what a joke.

 

Pound for pound to me, means all things being equal.

It just seems ludicrous, as yes, I could imagine a slimmed down Smokin' Joe fighting a pumped up Jung Koo Chang, but there is still not going to be an equality.

Obviously there are exceptions, but as a rule I tend to believe, Punchers have a better chance of succeeding at Heavier weights, whilst speedsters seem to have more chance at lower weights, so it does not seem fair to take that out the equation.

But coming from the man who recently posted a top 100 of all time, I guess I am being a bit hypocritical, but I think I avoided using the term Pound for pound on the thread...

I always try reward results and intangibles when doing this, thus I had quite a few Heavies in there and have Ali and Louis as top 10 fighters.

The hardcore might not like it, but Heavyweight boxing for long periods in this sports history is/was at the front line of mainstream perception of the sport. And those fighters that got positive mainstream attention should be awarded credit for doing so, by the boxing fancy IMO.

@bodhi: Beat me to it!

You're welcome. A lot of people just seem to have an agenda, and when one does they're going to twist it to suit how they like.

 

it's a ratio of ability / weight

 

The real p4p king of all time is finito lopez.. the smallest guy dominated the smallest division and had more talent and skills than anybody in boxing...
