Here's a stinger whens the last time a heavyweight was on a p4p list?
To be fair it is harder for heavies though.
If a guy moves through a 2-3 weight classes (not uncommon the lighter you go, when there's just a few pounds in it and moving up in weight usually means not going to as ridiculous lengths to cut weight as you've had to) and fights some decent opposition/gets a few alphabet straps (even if they're off b fighters who cares right?) they'll get somewhere in the top ten.
Generally heavyweights aren't moving around different weights, so there's going to have to be an Ali or a Tyson who dominate the division and not only that but look invincible doing it.
Not going to happen at the moment... which yeah, is a bit of a stinger I guess :P
the Ring's p4p list for me has seriously gone down the toilet, Vazquez hasn't fought in nearly 2 yrs and is still on there, Marquez despite losing to Floyd has been more impressive than Hopkins, and wtf has Donaire done to be on the list to begin with, let alone be ahead of Cotto, it's pretty ridiculous if you ask me
No2 is perfect for Mayweather.
I wouldn't of dropped Marquez two spots though.
The guy moved up two weight classes and fought the best fighter of this generation.

I was thinking of Mike Tyson. Ring Magazine had him ranked no. 1 for the 1989 p4p rankings and was published in early 1990. It was a little trivia that my friend discovered. The Ring Magazine's Annual Ratings: 1989 - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia
