    Both are in contention for my #100 spot on my top 100 p4p list. Eusebio stands there right now but I'm considering changing it.

    Both are known for 1 signature name on their resume (Kovalev and Olivares). Olivares is the better name but he was past it when he lost to Pedroza. Kovalev arguably beat Ward on their 2nd fight

    Neither have alot of fights but Eusebio has the better longevity with a 7 year reign vs Ward's 5 years combined reign. Ward has the superior dominance due to being undefeated

    Who do you rank higher p4p and why? I'm really struggling with this one

    Pedroza and it's not even remotely close. Pedroza is an all time great.

    Ward? Definitely a HOFmer, and best case maybe a great, but I don't see him as an all time great... and I do think there's a difference.

    Olivares might be the best 'name' but he was very shot when he fought Pedroza. Someone like Lockridge was a much better win. Also, I agree with xplosive. Pedroza was a great fighter in a historical division. Ward didn't have that.
