What does 'pound for pound' champion mean to you?

Does it mean that you rule your division more than the champs in the other divisions?


Or do you have to be a multi-division champion to be crowned P4P champ? Whaddya all think?|||Pound for Pound for the blogbaba means the best over all boxer in the sport at a given moment in history. Names like Sugar Ray Robertson, Roberto Duran, Dempsy, Louis, Gans, Ali, Ricardo Lopez, Pernell Whitaker, Charlie Burly, Julio Cesar Chavez, Marvin Hagler, and Roy Jones Jr. all could have been considered the PFP best at one time in their careers.





A very select group of boxers, the best of the best.





Today's PFP best in my opinion is the winner of the Manny Pacquiao/Juan Manuel Marquez rematch. Had Floyd Mayweather made a statement against DeLa Hoya and backed up his months of trash talk with an actual fight intsead of a track meet, I would have given Floyd the nod, but the blogbaba doesn't like runners. To me a "boxer" is a "fighter".|||It means you are the best most complete fighter in the world. For example if the rated pound for pound best is a flyweight fighter he obviously couldent beat the current heavyweight champs as he is too light and there punches would destroy him. But if that fighter was a heavyweight himself he would be the best in that division due to his skill and ability. It has nothing to do with winning multi divisions you could win titles at say five different weights and never actually be the best fighter even in each of the divisions you fought in. Alot of the multi division champions pick and chose there fights anyway, fighting either the name fighters on the slide or another fighter who has moved up the weight classes. When they have to make a manditory defence they usually relinquish that particular title and move on again. Ive more respect for the fighters that win and hold on to a title for a period of time and face all comers and all mandatory challengers big names or not.|||well # 1 you gotta own a belt # 2 There are fly wieghts in the history of boxing that hit harder than heavy wieghts, cause hitting hard is a skill,soooo pound for pound fighter , gosh ill have to read up on some of the most talented that ayone under 30 would have no id about and let ya know Jaz my dad the ultimate boxing historian used to talk about a small man who could knock out anyone Ill check it out|||it means you are champion in one weightclass and have unified the title belts.. in other words you got the wbo, wba, ibf etc all
