Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
Gene Tunney vs Harry Greb ??
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
I can not believe that one has Leonard and hearns that was huge fight best welterweight bout i have ever seen.
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
Jack Johnson vs. Stanley Ketchel
Are we going for a Top Champion moving up to face another top Champion?
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
Leonard V Hearns 1 must be close.
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
The upcoming Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez fight is #2 vs #3. That's pretty big!

Yeah james toney was, according to the buildup before the fight as i remember
No he wasn't. Toney was considered #2 pfp, Jones was several spots lower than that, because he hadn't been in a really big fight yet.
I can take a few minutes to search and produce rankings to prove this point, but I don't think I even need to. Toney-Jones was a huge, huge fight, but it wasn't a #1 vs. #2 PFP fight.
Whitaker-Chavez was.
REgardless of p4p they were the two best places.
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
Leonard- Hearns has to be up there.
Jones-Toney
Pernell-JCC fo sho...
there the ones that stand out to me.
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
James Toney vs. Roy Jones Jr.
I like to think that the vast majority of the time, the two best, do fight one another if at all possible.

It is a big fight, but I hardly see what Marquez has done to be #3 let alone in the top 5 when comparing what he has done to what Cotto, Calzaghe, and HOpkins have done.
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
I think Tito and DLH were 2 and 3 at the time if I am not mistaken. Too bad the actual fight fell short of expectations.

And if three subtracts 2 does he become number 1?

HAHA. Oh mathematical equations! Those are not for me! But I doubt that Marquez becomes #1 is he wins. I think Floyd has to slip up in order for him to lose the spot.

I would have said toney was personally.. Loads of people say toney was p4p1 at the time.. Alot of people made an arguement for jones..Not so much as a long list of achievements but the definate p4p great feeling about him
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
Plus imo your all wrong on Leonard - Duran
Looking back now on duran you know he is a great.. But he was nowhere near top p4p at the time..
People only really bucked up and took notice when he beat leonard and he was a huge underdog for the fight
barrera vs naz?.. No barrera wasnt as big then .. Urr
Def Leonard - Hearns were right up top..
