Boxrec make JMM No1 Lightweight. Who agrees?

[XaduBoxer]

I have decided that the number one spot at lightweight is tied between Campbell and Marquez.

They definitely need to fight each other.

BUT you have to consider also that Manny is the universally recognised p4p number 1 fighter on the planet and holds a win over Marquez just two fights ago!

Can you have the p4p best fighter on the planet according to every ranking body behind a fighter he already beat in the last 12 months in a divisional ranking?

That makes no sense to me at all.

That's why I went with......

1. Pacquaio
2. Campbell
3. Marquez

But really all three have equal claim to the throne. There hasn't been this much controversy since the death of Edward the Confessor when Harold Godwinson, William the Conqueror and Harold Hardrada all battled for the English crown!

I can't wait to see how this falls out.

I reckon Pacquiao will win out if he makes the fights, although chances are he'll go with Oscar first leaving Marquez and Campbell to decide things first.

My exact the same sentiment/stand as posted on the other thread...

1. Pacquaio
2. Campbell
3. Marquez

You can also add the argument on how these guys win over the fallen champs...

- Pacquiao totally dominated David Diaz before the 9th round stoppage
- Campbell dominated Juan
- JMM and Casa fought a close fight until the time of 11th round stoppage
