I kind of get why Pac can't be ranked P4P#1 at 140 when he hasn't even fought there.. The fact that he did fight at 147 and win mean quite a bit, but he didn't beat a current P4P best there..
So i'll present this 1 question for though.

If however Pac fought the P4P best at 147 in Margarito and won, would that more so qualify him for being the P4P best at 140? At least in anyone's eyes?

But in this case I'm guessing, the fact that he beat a hopeless Oscar at 147, does not automatically prove he can beat a prime fighter at 140... I think anyone can agree with that.. So from that angle, it can't be 100% justified saying Pac is the best at 140...




Here is where I can see the arguement for possibly placing Pac as P4P#1 at 140..

Because A) He is the P4P best fighter in the world based on how well he has beaten opponents at the weights he's been, and the quality of those opponents... B) The Pound for Pound rankings are designed in such a way to be able to compare the performances and abilities of different fighters at different weights... So even though a Klitch. could beat a Pac any day of the week if they were in the ring,,, Pac is still considered a better fighter, because he's beaten some arguably HOF opponents, but the K boys haven't beaten as many and and as convincingly etc....
C) The fact Pac is P4P#1 overall, means that at the weight he realisically makes, and maintains 100% of his resources, skill, assets etc, then obviously he could be considered the P4P#1 AT that weight..
D) If you take the Pac vs DLH fight as a clear sign that he is the same quality fighter at approx the 143 weight, then he could then be considered a 140 pound fighter... And that P4P overall ranking carries forward into that weight division that he now weighs in at....


So I see both sides.... But don't let that stop this thread from going another 100 pages.. It's great stuff and I would love to see how one of you can convince the other. It will be a great achievement.
