How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
I am just thinking
Roy JOnes Jr. vs James Toney
Ali-Frazier
Leonard-Duran
Were Hagler and Leonard the two best when they fought?
Whitaker-Chavez?
Joe Louis vs Conn or vs Ezzard Charles?
Saddler-pep?
I know Gene TUnney was in a big one
but how many times has p4p 1 faced p4p 2?

Whitaker was #1 PFP when Jones and Toney fought.

Problem with that is how often is P4P #1 and P4P #2 ever in the same division :-\
If Only.....Boxing sure would have a lot more mega bouts

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.
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
Trinidad Vs De La Hoya was close, not 1 vs 2 but I believe 3 vs 4, Chavez Vs Taylor should be up there
Re: How often have the two best at that time gone against eachother?
How about Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez ??
Azumah Nelson vs Pernell Whitaker has to be up there.
Aaron Pryor vs Alexis Arguello ??

Ya, Oscar-Tito was close, but Roy was still #1 Pfp then.
If the question was expanded to times when two top 5 pfp guys fought each other, the list of fights would be a lot longer. 1 vs. 2 matchups are incredibly rare.

I can't say this 100% sure but my guess is the only time this is happened is when Pernell fought JCC.
