Pound for pound is boxing’s greatest ever pub argument – strip away the size, who’s the actual best?
We love it because it’s unanswerable.
One minute Crawford’s resume and skill make him untouchable, next minute someone says prime Roy Jones knocks him out before the bell rings twice.
Both can be true on the same night depending on how many pints deep you are.
What Makes Pound For Pound So Loved But So Contentious A Debate In Boxing
It exposes what we really value: is it the eye test or the names on the record? Dominance over bums or close wins over killers?
Inoue destroying everyone at 122 or Usyk outthinking giants at heavyweight?
The debate rages because there’s no perfect metric – and that’s exactly why we never stop having it.
P4P isn’t a list, it’s a philosophy.
And every single one of us has our own bible.
