    The whole concept of P4P is ****. But lets pretend it's important.

    I have to admit Pac deserves to be top as he is a "8" weight world champion, as he started at 106 and won a title at "154", seeing as he started so low and has won a title alot higher up, he fits the definition pound for pound.

    Sergio Martinez has fought at 147, 154 and 160, 3 weight champion I'm presuming, Tim Bradley has won titles at 140, therefore in regards to pound for pound has done nothing, if he beats pac it don't boost him above martinez, to be equal to him on this silly silly list he would have to at least win a title at 154, well this is what logic would say.

    End thread.
     
  2. p4p does not mean how many weight classes you have won belts.
    if thats so then Erick Morales would be top 5 P4P right now. He just won (bought) a bs belt few months ago.

    Williams II and Pavlik are A+ wins. Bradley doesn't have one of those.

    Pound for pound is the table of who people think would be the best if everyone was the same weight. So a guy who started at 147 and has won at 147,154 and 160 would be over a guy who has won titles at 140.

    the Morales example don't count because he won a BS title, if he beat an actual good welterweight for his title he should be high up the P4P, unfortunately defeating a guy who is not even good at welterweight let alone on the P4P scale will not help him at all.
