Going into this fight, I had Pacquiao ranked #2 PFP, and Marquez #3. I see no reason to move either of them after last night. If Calzaghe puts together a dominant win over Hopkins, then I might consider moving him to #3.

It's weird for me, I think Marquez edged the fight, and I thought it was one of the best fights of the last few years.........
But I dunno, I thought both of them were disappointing in some ways. I think they both looked vulnurable and honestly believe Juan Guzman would outbox both of them.
They probably stay where they are p4p but I think Calzaghe is a better and more dominant fighter than either.
Pacs record speaks for itself. He's p4p #1 right now. You can argue that floyd is #1 all u want but looking great against mediocre to good competition doesn't compare with looking great against great competition.
You guys are a bunch of bias fans that are willing to keep floyd at #1 no matter how little he does or how much the REAL fighters do. I still don't know how good floyd is and neither do you because he doesn't take any risky fights.
Beating a version of DLH that had 1 fight in like 3 or 4 years and knocking out Hatton who continually came in with his hands down asking to get KTFO hardly qualifies as p4p worthy.
It's simple math, Pac is deserving of the p4p crown.

I think beating De La Hoya at 154 is a bigger win than Pacquaio beating Marquez by controversial decision, especially when you factor in the amount of damage Pacquaio absorbed.
And hatton was the undisiputed, undefeated junior welterweight champ and Floyd simply annihilated him.
Pacquiao won by the skin of his teeth, at least three quarters of people here think he lost. There were several times he looked out on his feet.
there's no comparison,Floyd isa different league altogether.
A win over DAvid Diaz next will surely make Pacquaio the only boxer who has 4 belts in 4 divisions.
That's history in the making. We better watch it guys coz when I get older and will be telling this history to my grandchildren, I would be such a proud grandpa to have witness it all.![]()

Oh no comparison at all with Mayweather. His kind of wins of not trying to engage because he is being out powered, backs out, run along the ring, then tires his opponent and take the chance to score a few jabs or if lucky eg: versus Hatton knocks him down due to opponents frustration is a sort of gayish for me. He cant fight with face head on which some say is a smart boxing but pretty boring imo. While on the other hand Pacquiao will not back off a face to face aggression. He will pound and get pounded but still come up victorious which makes him the no. 1 p4p boxer. The excitement and drama with Pacquiaos' fight is way far above than Mayweathers boring tactics. A well deserve win for Pacquiao! the 3rd round knock down shouts the 1 point difference which the judge saw in favor of Pacquiao. The rest of the round has been an even exchange and we dont need to get technical with that.
No true boxing and knowledgable boxing fan finds Floyd Mayweather boring. His style is stylistically beautiful. Boxing is the art of hitting and not being hit.
Floyd is the current era's undisputed master of that art.
Besides he's never been a fighter to fight scared as you suggest. He's slick and doesnt get hit but he's gone toe to toe plenty of times in his career and won every time.
Yeah it was a great display between Pacquio Vs Marquez as expected.I personally think it was a closer and more thrilling contest from their first outing.It was very close after the 12th round to judge who won but it was fair to say that the K.O Marquez sustained in the 3rd was always going to be a mountain to climb throughout the rounds to change the outcome of the dicision.Nevertheless Marquez came back into the game with some great shots specially that left hook to the body...That was a great shot!
Wth Marquez sustaining a horrible cut above his eye,do you think there'll be a 3rd bout between Marquez Vs Pacquio??I'd like to think so,What do you's think out there?![]()
