Which fighter has had the longest reign as P4P#1?

[DaxxKahn]

During Joe Louis reign he was considerd the P4P best...at least 7 years of it even during his BMOTM stints...SRR was for quite some time....Hard to say really

[intoccabile]

Duran was considered teh best for a while too.
I think on paper though, chavez was p4p the longest?

While the general consensus before roy was put down by Tarver was that he was the best.
and that lasted for years

How was Whitaker 1 in 99 when his career was virtually over

My mistake keeper you are correct...
Pernell was NOT, P4P #1 in 1999 it was RJJ.

So it looks like JCC and Pernell are tied for #1 with both having been P4P for 3 yrs.
