Pound for pound

Summary

• Pound-for-pound is the term used in boxing to describe a fighter's value in relation to fighters of different weight classes. It was created to describe world Welterweight and Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson, the most accomplished fighter of the modern era, by supporters who realized that while he could beat anyone in his own class, as a Middleweight he would not be able to beat a Heavyweight.
