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

[HattonTheHammer]

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.

The same argument that a heavyweight cant be considered p4p#1 could be totally reversed and used for a minumweight having an advantage over every other division.

If the p4p isnt there to recognise the best fighter in the world regardless of weight then what exactly is it for??

Minimumweights fight guys the same size as them.

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.

That's a cracking point. Would either Klitschko be as successful if they didn't have any physical advantages over their opponent? I find it hard to believe that they would, especially in a division where there was a higher skill set than the current Heavyweight division.
