It depends on how they win or lose the fight just like Vazquez-Marquez. IMO, their p4p status remains unharmed.
If Pac wins this one convicingly (maybe by a KO), he would still #2. That's because the reason is,... last PBF's win was by a KO.
#1 PBF, #2 Pac, #3 Cotto, #4 B-hop... #9 JMM
If Pac losses, I would put him behind JMM ofcourse.
#1 PBF, #2 JMM, #3 Cotto, #4 Pac.
This is what is so funny about p4p lists, and why they are so objective and even meaningless at times.. Whether Marquez wins or not will not change the fighter he is currently, as with Pac. How each fighter looks on the other hand, can easily give a rough indication of where they stand. THe problem is people talk about where they'll be ranked regardless of how the fight pans out and simply base it on winning or losing beforehand. If I'm not mistaken Pac is currently #2 and Marquez 3?? He's certainly in the top five. So by what means will him losing automatically have you put him at no.9? What if JMM put's up the fight of his life and boxes Pac masterfully, has a big lead on the cards and get's caught late on and stopped? Surely that shouldn't cause him to drop any at all as far as p4p ranking. It's just a bit odd how you'd determine that so decidedly, number 9... I personally don't expect this to change their p4p spots at all, as I think both will try and box their way to a decision this time around. I slightly favour Pac but think Marquez is definetly capable of winning if he fights smart for 12 rounds. I just don't see how you could even begin to think about what this will do as far as changing where either stands until we see the fight.
Again...
Like I said... "It depends on how they win or lose the fight".
If they fight like Vazquez and Marquez did, then Pac and JMM shouldn't go anywhere.
