But what if the heavyweight champion of the world is actually the most skilled fighter on the planet, too? He can't be the p4p number one?

I'm damned sure Ali was p4p one of the best fighters on the planet in 1966.

EXACTLY!! To say Ali wasn't (p4p) the best fighter in the world once upon a time is crazy!

If you can't have a Heavyweight on a p4p ranking then how are they able to be ranked of all time then? Does that mean that all LHW's & Cruisers are automatically better than Heavyweights?

If you can compare a Welterweight to a Middleweight fighter then I really dont see why you can't do the same while ranking (comparing) a Middleweight (or any weight) to a Heavyweight.

Chavez Jr isnt better than his dad..just because he is bigger, just like how John Ruiz isn't better than Sr. either..

More than 1 thing to consider when ranking fighters..and I personally feel accomplishments is right up there.. regardless of whether that boxer weighs over 190lbs or not..
