Ring Elevates Pacquiao To No. 1 Pound-For-Pound - Boxing News
Agree? Disagree? You thoughts...
I personally think the best fighter in the world right now is Calzaghe but I certainly don't have a problem with Pac on top based on his resume. Good call.
Makes sense to me. I thought he should have been there for a while to be honest. He has been out there fighting big fight after big fight.
PAC rightfully deserves #1 p4p with Mayweather out of the picture.
Well-deserved.
100% agree!!!
Ive just been on Ring website Mayweather still number 1 but if he has retired then yes Pac should be number 1
Pac deserves his spot.
I didn't look at the remainder of the list, but I assume Calzaghe is 2
Pac has been no.2 for about 50 years, they were hardly gonna let someone leapfrog him.
I guess he deserves the 1 spot more than most.
Where are they gonna put Floyd when he comes back later in the year? :-\
I would put PBF in number 20 if he comes back again.:cool:

Of course those of us that don't buy any of his theatrics would like to see this, in fact, I'd love to see him get snubbed and bet we'd see him get his panties in a twist. :)
Unfortunately the lure of the almighty $$ will not let this happen.
Makes sense to me, now how about they update it on the website. Or even better, sort out the entire website!
Good question! Does he retain his spot at the top or does he need a win before he gets back on the list? Does anyone know of a P4P fighter retiring then coming back later on? What happened to them?Quote:

That's pretty straight forward logic reasoning. ;D I like it.Quote:

At the moment I do not think there is anyway that the #1 and #2 spots do not belong to both men. Each position varies on the persons list but both deservedly so.
The BBC still have Floyd at 1 cuz they dont belive he is really retired. ;D
Id have Calzaghe number 1 right now but I think in a years time we are gonna have a long term number 1 who goes by the name of . . . . . Miguel Cotto .

I agree with Pacquiao being on top, also great to see Calderon enter the ratings!
i cant see anyone else BUT pac being in the number 1 spot.
how many division has he been through and been a champion in?
I could go look it up but I will have lost interest by then.
He has been linear champion in 3 divisionsQuote:

He has given all the viewers their money's worth or even more than its worth. Very exciting to watch. He has fought the top guys in his division and now climbing up to challenge bigger guys. All his fights are non stop action except for the one when MAB just went to the ring to get his last biggest pay.
Well i agree if Mayweather is retired but in my list Pacquiao no way goes to P4P number 1. Based on Mayweather having more achievements winning titles at more weight classes, beating more quality fighters and i know Pacquiao fans will throw names like Barrera, Morales, Marquez etc. But actually take a look at both Mayweather's and Pacquiao's whole career, and clearly Mayweather has beaten more quality opponents. Plus Mayweather is a better fighter than Pacquiao P4P so thats my reason's.
I don't see anyone here arguing that. Pac was behind PBF by 1 spot. Mayweather retired, so by default, Pac is now #1... simple mathematics.Quote:
