is it actually possible for a heavyweight to ever be the p4p #1??

[BIG H]

I say no on account of the fact the Pound for Pound ranking was made to figure out who the best fighter in the world is who isn't the heavyweight champion of the world.

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.

No it was made for the assumption of who would be best if weight was not a factor. That doesn't preclude heavyweights

I don't count the heavyweights in the P4P, that's just the way I do it

The whole idea of P4P is matching fighters with the size and weight leveled.

Wlad has a considerable size and weight advantage over almost everyone he fights. Which is clearly a huge factor in his success.

For a heavyweight to be P4P they would need to be an exceptional phenom like prime Tyson.
