This.

Yes, quality of opposition is definitely a factor, but it is only 1 factor.

Considering that they plugged Mayweather in at the #2 spot for beating JMM, I think they'd put him at #1 if he beats Mosley (even if Pacquiao wins).

If both win, the only way I can see Pacquiao holding onto the ranking is if he beats Clottey in a dominating fashion & Floyd struggles with Mosley down to the wire.

Other than that, the p4p title isn't like a belt where you have to beat the man to take his spot. Beating the #3 ranked guy is way better than beating the #20+ ranked guy.
