Can't agree with you cutmemick. to be # 1 pound for pound you need to earn that. DEfeating the current #1P4P who may not actually deserve the title will not make the conqueror deserving of the title.Quote:

For me, beating Floyd would not make ODLH the best P4P, he isn't active enough to be considered in that bracket....with 1 fight in the past three years. You can't be coming out of such a career break and win the P4P ranking.Quote:

P4P title is not like the ABC belt we know that if for example if carlos baldomir beat floyd in a title fight he will then be proclaimed as the new champion instantly and have this belt and the title " The new blah blag blah champion of the world" P4P title is entirely different it is the toughest ever title for a boxer to get because it does not play by the book, it has something to do with "RESPECT" and in order to get that from the boxing fans in general. a boxer need to present grueling proofs such as their current track record, boxing skills and how you use and deliver it to your opponent and of course two of the most important things in consideration: quality of opponents and quality of wins against opponents etc.. etc...
problem with this situation is that there's a very big difference with the track record of golden boy and baldomir. This is the situation where record, quality of opponents and quality of wins comes in full force in the discussion. even then, it's just too tough to universally please everyone and hand in their respect to you as a boxer. but with the help of a highly respected boxing group such as the ring magazine. it would make life in boxing so much easier. ;)
nice post!Quote:

if this fantasy match-up happens, lets say in 130 where manny is at now and where floyd has started, i bet manny has a chance for an upset if he will catch floyd with his left.
also, remember that floyd has power when he was in lightweight and he might be tempted to fight manny toe-to-toe just like what he did in JLC-PBF1.
imo, beating floyd is very hard but not impossible.

Well not sure about #1 but he sure as hell would be top 5 FOR SURE! and I'll explain why, cause you would have to consider a couple of factors. 1) he hadn't lost since 1998. 2) Look at the quality of opposition he fought during that time. 3) He beat Zab Judah the then Welter. Champ. 4) He moved on to beat Gatti. From Zab and on all of this within 7 months. So if you ask me if Baldomir would have been #1 P4P I would say NO, top 5 yes. The thing that he lacks is IMO credentials prior to this he hadn't done much but beat Clottey via DQ. So thats were it hurts him.Quote:

Well it all depends at what weight this fight would take place.Quote:

At 135 & 140 I think JCC takes both of those meetings. As JCC had his finest work done there. A lot of people say JCC vs. PBF would be like the MTaylor fight which I disagree as PBF wasn't/isn't as flashy as MT was and certainly MT & PBFs body size/structure is/was different MT was more built. But these kind of match ups is really hard to call one can only judge on who they favor and or how they think the fight would turn out.
Floyd is the P4P title holder.Most unbiased boxers and boxing analyst will agree.I think that Winky is #2 behind Floyd.People keep saying that Pac should be over Floyd because he has fought a couple of tough fighters multiple times.Well if your resume decides your status..then Winky should be #1 if not Floyd.He has 2 wins over Mosley,I thought he beat Vargas,He dominated Tito,Draw against Taylor....
winky got his fame from beating blow up fighters, mosley and tito are much smaller then winky, and when winky face taylor someone whos not smaller then him he got a draw. so no winky does not have better resume then pac or floyd.Quote:

winky is third at best. pac or floyd is first place which ever you prefer, but it will be decided come May 5th. and after that if floyd wins he is top p4p but if pac beats jmm pac takes it. floyd is going to need to fight after may to remain p4p, if he retires pac is p4p. winky is on the decline pac is still on the rise and floyd is still prime but who knows what he'll do after May.
I've had the top 3 as Floyd, Winky and Pacquiao for a while, and I don't see why beating Solis would earn Pac the right to move up.
