What were his Pac's opponents ranked at those weights when he fought them? I have to agree, however, to have Pac ranked at 47' is a little bit weird. But, at 135, his first fight was against a belt-holder, albeit the weakest of the lot, but nonetheless a top five-seven ranked fighter. And wasn't Marquez, who Pac beat, already ranked in the top five in that division?

Why is it weird though, I mean it's all boxing it's not as if a lower weight class is a different sport. The idea that all of the things of you do in a lower weight class mean nothing when you step up is frankly bizarre.

Manny is the best fighter in the world, a multiple weight champ and just annihilated Oscar De La Hoya at 147, if that gives him a place in the top 10 I see nothing wrong with that.

Don't know if he's rated higher than Collazo, Berto, Clottey or the like but if he is I have no problem with it at all. When Collazo, Berto or Clottey blow a fighter like Oscar away let me know
JTrock just had it right. Oscar hasnt been ranked at 147 in around 10 years. So why should Pacman be ranked at 147 when he didnt beat a ranked 147 fighter.
