Wow... I consider myself a veteran of the forum (been here about 3 1/2 yrs), and I've probably never seen such a long-lasting, unwielding argument such as this one. At least one that hasn't degenerated into a "name-calling", "manhood-questioning", "mother-mentioning" free for all. Kudos to both.
For the record, I still agree with Killersheep's point of view. And what I want to say to Saddoboxer is:
Hey bro... it doesn't diminish from Pacquiao's greatness to say he shouldn't be ranked # 1 at 140, if that's what worries you. In my eyes, Pac is close to being, if not THE #1 p4p fighter in the world right now. And you KNOW how many points he went up in MY personal "fanbook" after he whipped Oscar. But no way he's # 1 at 140 when he has never fought there. That's just the way it goes.

My point is, that's how BoxRec do the ratings. Let's take a look of BoxRec top 3 boxers with their corresponding points in 147, 140 and 135 divisions:
147
1. Antonio Margarito 1327
2. Shane Mosley 832
3. Miguel Angel Cotto 722
140
1. Manny Pacquiao 1673
2. Ricky Hatton 1469
3. Andriy Kotelnik 905
135
1. Juan Manuel Marquez 1592
2. Nate Campbell 1097
3. Joan Guzman 813
If BoxRec places Pacquiao in any of these 3 divisions, he will be the #1 in that division since he has the highest points among the boxers.
The argument that he can't be #1 because he hasn't fought in that division can't be used here. PAC fought at 147 and 135 and he still has the highest points so BoxRec will consider him as #1 in those divisions. So those using this argument can't complain if BoxRec put PAC as #1 in 147 or in 135 division since he fought in those divisions.
We all know long time ago that BoxRec computerized points ranking system could be flawed. Why all the grumbles?
BoxRec can place PAC as #1 in 147 or 140 or 135 division since he has the highest points among the boxers in those divisions.
You can continue complaining but that's how BoxRec do it...
.
And that's why their system is utter crap. The grumbles continue because you keep trying to defend a flawed system. This thread wouldn't have lasted as many pages and posts if you had not started making shit up and quoting tabloids to try to verify what can't be proven.
PS. Boxrec, The WBC, The WBA and the WBO still have not written anything back in defense of Pacquiao or Valero, must be because of the holiday season.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
We all knew already that BoxRec points system of ratings could be flawed... If BoxRec put PAC at 147 division (PAC fought there), PAC will be still #1 in 147 division and again you will complain why PAC will be ahead of such boxers like Margarito but this time you cannot use the argument that PAC can't be that high is that division since he has not fought there... It will not be a valid argument and you will look for another reason why PAC can't be ranked that high at 147... Same thing...
Better for you to ignore BoxRec since whatever grumblings you will make, they can rate PAC as #1 in 147, 140 or 135 division... Their computerized point system of rankings will back it up...

Jeezus,this still going on??Some dogs just have to be left to chase their tails I guess.
still to this day to come across a boxing rankings system ive liked mainly due to the fact 95% of us at the very least have disagreements with most of them.
suffice to say pac being number 1 at 140 despite never ever fighting in the division and hattons 44-0 having more than earned his number 1 status in there is a complete disgrace!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
Killer sheep you have the patience of a saint,I dont know how you do it in regards to someone with no ears and just a mouth driven from one continual point.
For me, it has to be; (no fight no blame) otherwise Im bound to point out personality flaws or the egos control over the real whole mind as my main points.
There are about 10 old posters who rarley come into this section now becuase of this type of rubbish that just keeps getting strewn over and fukin over for no other reason than someones ego.
