    i have one of they´re mags where they mentioned all the pound for pounds number ones since they started posting the list in the ring mag and the first one was Tyson.

    the explanation they gave for him to be number one was "forget pound for pound at that time Tyson was the undisputed king of boxing".

    then after he lost to Douglas,JCC became the number one.

    This is all true.

    And in all fairness, Tyson was probably P4P no.1 at that time. In any other weight constantly destroying other champions and all contenders with that much skill, speed, power, chin, and at such a young age would get you P4P no.1.

    No reason why it shouldn't be Tyson, especially with a win over Spinks, who was 32-0(22) ex-LHW champ and had beat THE man at HW (twice, debatable, but what's Pac-Marquez)

    Inactive was Spinks, and scared, but Tyson was no.1

    Two weeks after Tyson-Douglas was Taylor-Chavez :good

    There wasn't a P4P LIST in Robinson's day, but he was where the actual phrase came from because of his dominance. It was mentioned that he is the best P4P fighter today.(back then)
