Any heavyweights on the horizon with chance in hell at a lb-4-lb ranking?

    It's been a long time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Tyson the last heavy to be considered pound for pound #1?

    Haye possibly if he cleans up in style, he would rank higher p4p because he would be undisputed in 2 divisions.

    That's of course very doubtful though, both that he would clean up and that he would rank as the p4p #1.

    Haye is already #1 in his own mind.

    And quite rightly so.

    No........I doubt there will be a heavy at the p4p#1 spot for a long time. A heavyweight has to absolutely DOMINATE the division in order to get the #1 spot, since they are only undisputed in one weight class

    I don't see a heavy getting top 5 for a long time - I think Lennox was near the top, but before him god knows how far back it was

    I think to be P4P #1 you must be best fighter in the world that if you have same weight with other boxer you would beat him by your skills! Tyson was like HW PacMan that's why he was number 1! Today's HW boxers are too big and slow to be P4p best! Tyson was special! Even Holyfield wasn't never P4P best!

    I think P4P was created to people have some interest in lower weights when Hw division was at it's best!

    Yeah, but if Holyfield was in his peak heavyweight years now he'd be a very good shout for p4p #1.
