1929-Year-End Pound-for-Pound Rankings
Finally, here are the Pound-for-Pound rankings for year end 1929:
Ranking by Perf Points (changes from year-end 1928 PFP List in Parens):
1. Mickey Walker, MW (WBA Champ), 1887 (NC)
2. Tommy Loughran, LH (WBA Champ), 1715 (+1)
3. Young Stribling, HW (WBA Champ), 1678 (+1)
4. Panama Al Brown, BW (WBA Champ), 1511 (+1)
5. Larry Gains, HW (CBU Champ), 1504 (+1)
6. Jimmy McLarnin, WW (WBA Champ), 1430 (new)
7. Benny Leonard, WW (no title), 1412 (-5)
8. Billy Petrolle, LW (WBA Champ), 1362 (new)
9. Joe Dundee, WW (NABF Champ), 1353 (-1)
10. Harry Wills, HW (no title), 1326 (new)
Dropped out from 1928 list:
7. Jack Sharkey, HW
9. Ad Stone, LH
10. Benny Valgar, LW
Comments: Wills returns to the list after a one-year absence. Leonard, on the list for the 13th consecutive year, is the senior member. It is Wills' 12th (and probably) last year on the list. Walker's 1887 is an all-time year-ending PP total, surpassing the prior mark of 1849, set by Leonard. McLarnin and Petrolle, two new WBA Champions, join the PFP list for the first time.
