Here are my Pound for Pound Top Dozen
This is simply a snapshot in time as of May 6, 2010.
1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
3. Chad Dawson
4. Lucien Bute
5. Andre Ward
6. Sergio Martinez
7. Celestino Caballero
8. Paul Williams
9. Nonito Donaire
10. Vic Darchinyan
11. Timothy Bradley
12. Yonnhy Perez
Others breathing down their necks include Juan Manuel Lopez, Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, Juan Manuel Marquez, Ivan Calderon, and Marcos Maidana.
PBF has an edge in my P4P rankings over Pac b/c of the quality of his opponants, Mosely in a particular.
Pac hasn't fought anyone at that level in the welter div. Clotty was coming off a loss and even b/f that was not on a HoF trajectory. Cotto was never the same after being plastered, while Hatton and ODLH were already thoroughly dissected by PBF himself b/f Pac took them down, albeit in even more convincing fashion.
In contrast, future HoFer ODLH wasn't far past his prime--having only lost to a biiger BHop, arguably should've gotten the decison over a juiced future HoFer Mosely (not to mention Trinidad), and thouroghly KO'd Mayorga--b/f PBF dismantled him. Hatton was an undefeated P4Per when PBF destroyed him while JMM, still a P4Per, fought Pac to a draw b/f being thououghly outclassed by PBF. And then there's Mosely.
PBF is undfeated. He was number one when he retired and no one ever took that away from him in the ring. The most vocal criticism of him is that he handpicks opponants, but ironically his most recent opponants clearly outrank those of his closest P4P competitor. Therefore he should be on top.
pacquiao and floyd needs to fight to settle this p4p #1 issue.
Yes but the stupid thing is when one of them loses, they wont even be no 2 someone else will fill that spot.Quote:
