So UNLESS someone like Roy Jones Jr., Michael Spinks, or James Toney, Bob Foster, etc who are not natural heavyweights and they win at heavyweight then they can be P4P #1 but I don't rate true heavyweights in the P4P ratings no Ali no Tyson no nobody from heavyweight.
Not sure I totally agree with that, but either way, a contemporary example would be if Adamek beat Arreola (I'd have him somewhere at the bottom of a top ten p4p or nearby at that point) and then beat a Klitschko. That would be effectively climbing the weight ladder from lhw to hw.
