    Who was P4P best out of Moore, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Chavez Sr, Azumah Nelson, Ricardo Lopez and Joe Louis and which of these fighters beat the better quality of opposition during their 10 year reigns?

    The P4P best is probably Moore.
    Had a strong reign too.

    I'd be putting Roy Jones Jr up too given his only "loss" was that hugely avenged DQ.

    Jack Johnson was unbeaten for almost 10 years too actually, over his coloured and world title riegns,.

    Wins over Young Peter Jackson, Joe Jeanette, Sam Langford, Fireman Jim Flynn, Tommy Burns, Kaufman, Jeffries, Frank Moran. Not as good as some others but a damn good run.

    Tommy Ryan after the McCoy fight too, but he spent a while inactive.
