WikiProject Boxing "To Do"

[edit] Pound for Pound

I have problems with this lne: "After his win over De La Hoya, Mosley garnered a great deal of respect from the boxing world. When Trinidad lost to Bernard Hopkins, Mosley inherited the title as best pound for pound fighter in the world". Although Mosley at that time was definately considered to be in the top 10 pound for pound very few people would have placed him at #1. At that point Roy Jones Jr. was generally considered the best in the world and had been for awhile. The other main contender to the "pound for pund" title would have been the previosuly mentioned Bernard Hopkins. Although Mosley was considered one of the best,he was never considered the best.Unklelemmy 17:16, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Actually Mosley was considered #1 P4P after he dethroned Hoya.--PointBlankHeat 05:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I do remember seeing Shane's name atop a few P4P lists prior to his first fight with Vernon Forrest, maxboxing.com is one I can think of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikerotch5 (talk • contribs) 01:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SWITCH

I Switched "Preparing De La Hoya for the Mayweather superfight" & "Fight with Miguel Cotto" around for chronological order. Also added Jack Mosely note. And in regards to the "Pound for Pound" issue, it seems to me that USA Today, when Dan Raphael was with them and doing a "Superfighter Top Six" (pound for pound) Mosely got Number One for awhile. I'll see if I can find more on that. The Cotto fight rocked! Who thought Suger Shane won? (I did.) Master Redyva (talk) 16:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
