Pound for pound is a term used in combat sports such as boxing or mixed martial arts to reflect an assessment as to who the better fighters are, regardless of size (i.e., regardless of weight class). As these fighters do not compete directly, judging the best fighter pound for pound is subjective, and ratings vary. They may be based on a range of criteria including "quality of opposition", factors such as how exciting the fighter is or how famous they are, or be an attempt to determine who would win if all those ranked were the same size. In boxing, the term was historically associated with fighters such as Benny Leonard and Sugar Ray Robinson who were widely considered to be the most skilled fighters of their day, to distinguish them from the generally more popular (and better compensated) heavyweight champions. Since 1990, The Ring magazine has maintained a pound for pound rank of fighters.ESPN.com has a list for mixed martial artists. In December 2013, Ronda Rousey became the first woman to appear on the top 10 of a mixed-gender major publication.
o.k. - lets get it out - enough with the small talk
i can count your lies like cracks on the sidewalk
same old stories of when we used to hang out
down with the crowd we had the whole gain out
nothin' to do with the boys in the crew
we knew we had to start something with you
so we took you down to the ground with a round
pound for pound another win for the hometown
like this:mind over fist and fist over your face
i'll chase you down like the cheese in a rat race
soon you'll regret you ever deceived me -
crush your body like bugs on a t.v.
rhythm of the streets stained with your bloodshed
the hammer of the gods hangs over my head
shoot you down to the ground with a round
my god:pray for the city, a moment of silence
pound for pound - let's hear it for the hometown
let's overcome the guns and the violence
if we give the youth the keys to the mainstream
they won't have to waste their life in a daydream
why? is the question - drugs are the answer
kills in a serial - spreads like a cancer
shoot you down to the ground with a round
pound for pound, yes, grim is the hometown
