You're nuts bro. Pacquiao can't be ranked ahead of anyone at 140 because he has never competed their in his life. Even if he signs to fight Hatton tomorrow, he will spend 5 months on top of the rnakings at 140 before he ever fights a single bout there.

Paul Williams is ranked above Santos and Sergei because he beat Verno Phillips. See the funny thing about Paul Williams is he actually happens to fought at the weight which he was ranked.

I don't think anyone is saying that Hatton rates higher then Pacquiao pound for pound, but if you want to become champion in a division it helps to fight in it at least one time in your career.

Boxrec has point values assessed to every fighter and then they categorize the fighters by weight classes. They have Hatton-Pacquiao on for May 2nd, so they have Pacquiao fighting at 140. Since he has the most points, he is the champion of the 140 division.

The good thing is that people with sense know that at the very least, to be champion at a weight division you have to have fought in it. No one at boxrec actually ranks fighters it's all mathmatics.

But you're nuts if you're seriously arguing that Manny Pacquiao is the champion of the 140 lb division. Say that in a sentence and don't laugh.
