pound for pound
Relative to mass
Pound for pound compares things as if they were equal in size or weight, isolating quality from quantity.
The phrase originated in boxing to rank fighters across weight classes: Pound for pound, he's the best boxer alive.
It extends to any comparison where raw scale would obscure merit: Pound for pound, the cheetah is the fastest land animal.
