    Tunney or Dempsey?

    Charles or Louis?

    M. Spinks or Holmes?

    In each case, I rate the (ex-)LHW higher P4P than his HW rival, although I think Tunney & Dempsey rate fairly closely to one another.

    You can tell this is a solid thread when there are only three choices but the first five responders had five different answers. Well done!

    The crucial fact in ranking Tunney or Dempsey is the "long count". How to look at it?

    Fighting and winning in multiple divisions should rank you higher P4P then having success in only one division imo
