Should Floyd be P4P number 1(really good read)

[gyrokai]

Agree with wanting to see good fights. Did I like seeing Floyd fight Mitchell or even Gatti? Hell no, and I don't even want to mention the other guys name.

I like that, coming from a Mayweather fan. Especially from a Mayweather fan. It’s something they should be saying, because they of all people should realize the potential for Mayweather to make awesome matchups.

Pac stay at three for one simple fact, regardless of comp, Floyd has no losses. Pac has a draw and a loss, granted they were against top guys, in his last few fights." What have you done for me lately ",always plays a key role in the p4p rankings. So does career though. If it didn't, why is Barrera still so high?

Although I disagree with you on that, I can see your reasoning. I'm not too harsh on a loss, if that loss comes from a Hall of Famer, Erik Morales, in a close and classic battle. Morales... *sighs in past memories of my favorite fighter. At the time I bought my first of three tickets to see him in Vegas, I felt like I was the only one who loved "El Terrible!" His style is unwritable. I knew he'd beat Pacqiuao. Morales is the real deal and history will remember him, the only Mexican Assasin who gave Pac three chances to chop his head off. Many criticize Morales for his "go to war" style, his speed has always been underrated, I always new this, but it was his "war" style that took him to the top and brought him down to the canvas. But he went down swinging and no one can take that away from him. And Juan Manuel Marquez was lucky the judges scored that many rounds in his favor. Some of those rounds went to Pac. People only remember the courage of Marquez after the first, but I remember the effective aggression of Pac AFTER the first round, enough to win a decision. I'm glad I'm not the only one who see's this, Mike Katz, respected writer has made me feel sane, when all I hear is this draw bullshit. Also, Marquez never gave Pac the chance to erase that draw in a rematch.

I'm more upset about Floyd's opponents than anyone, but besides Wright and Pac, noone else has done anything to move ahead of Floyd. Zab is a more credible opponent than Soliman or Larious. It may not be the fight we all want to see, but I'll take it.{its alot better than the last few}.

Well Pac is due his "tune-up" fight, after his crazy challenges he's been making left and right. If Mayweather had one good challenge at least once a year, many respectful people couldn't complain.
I believe many fighters in the sport are taking on real challenges, while Floyd can make his best business decisions. He can earn all his money, but he won't get me to say he's number one. Mayweather, who openly challenges Sugar Ray Leonard in greatness, then has a three year vacation while Leonard, at the same age, fought all his memorable fights already, aside from Hagler.

Then I'll accept Oscar or Margarito. Then hopefully the other one. How about you? Will that change your mind?

If Mayweather fights Hatton or Margarito, then that is only good for boxing. Yes Oscar de la Hoya is long in the tooth already, but that fight will be huge, even if Oscar can’t take it to another level any more. We'll see how Oscar can deal with Mayorga. I will never bet for Oscar anymore. I don't think Oscar is that good anymore, ok? haha Bring out Yory Boy Campas, just as he did three years ago, and I may just bet for Oscar. But who'll bet against me?

Let me rephrase the Gatti fight. He was on a hot streak, and any fighter{Margarito,Hatton,Tszyu,Cotto} would take a fight against him. So it's unfair to just judge one guy for that.

Well, Gatti’s Gatti and beating Dorin, Ward, Branco, old Leija is a hot streak for him. HBO was jumping for joy that Gatti beat Leija (37 year old? With ring age.). I think all those fighters you mentioned {Margarito,Hatton,Tszyu,Cotto} would have murdered Gatti, but with Cotto he has a punchers chance.

Even if Floyd beats Zab, he still doesn't go to #1. If Wright beats Taylor, he's 1 for sure. If he loses close, he doesn't drop that far{Taylor just goes up}. If Pac beats Larious then either Barrera or Morrales, he's at least 2, and if Wright loses, he's probably #1.

Poor Pac, heh. He’s gonna kill himself just to make number one, while Wright takes on unimpressive Taylor. I think Pac has high expectations coming from him, even higher than Floyd, but that’s my opinion. At least he'll get rich in the process.
for the discussion.
