The �Pound for pound� rankings were developed by boxing writers during the era of Sugar Ray Robinson to rank the world�s greatest fighters irrespective of their weight division.
The nature of these rankings is subjective and raises an interesting question: How do you compensate for differences in size, power and historical time periods when evaluating boxers?
