    KO mag popularized the p4p title. Mine is like unto theirs but with a couple differences. They began their in 1980 while mine goes back five years further. For some reason there was no award given out in 1987

    Here is my p4p list taking into consideration all weight classes except Flyweight

    1975 - Ali. Ali's best year since '72 and gains the status of a living legend

    1976 - Duran.

    1977 - Monzon

    1978 - Arguello

    1979 - SRL (Sugar Ray meets expectations as the sport's next superstar)

    1980 -'85...Hagler (1981 would go to Leonard if not for the fact Hagler peaked that year, transcending all others)

    1986 - Lloyd Honeyghan (runner up Hector Camacho)

    1987 - JC Chavez

    1988 - Mike Tyson

    1989 - Mike Tyson

    1990 - JC Chavez

    1991 - Terry Norris (why not Terry Norris?)

    1992 - Riddick Bowe

    1993 - Pernel Whitaker

    1994, 95 - Roy Jones (easy wins over Hopkins, Toney, Griffin. Nobody can lay a glove on him. Fastest fighter since Hector Camacho)
