The knockout was stunning but Marquez was getting pummeled in those early rounds whereas Nate just dominated Juan Diaz from the get go.

And Juan Diaz wasn't even in the top 10 p4p so how can Marquez become number 1 now?

Margarito's win over Cotto was bigger, as was in turn, Mosely's win over Margarito, why isn't Mosely number 1? (And no I don't think Mosely is p4p number 1 just making a point, Mosely's KO over Margarito was a far bigger shock than Marquez beating Diaz)

Marquez was I believe at least, the betting favourite over Diaz and he won in fine style after being dominated.

But he didn't look unbeatable at least not early and I don't see how that destruction was better than the slaughter Pacquaio put on Oscar.

And if you are going to try and take away Manny's credit by saying Oscar was weight drained then what about B Hop? Both his biggest wins in recent times over Pavlik and Tarver coincided with his opponents putting on career worst performances yet nobody takes his credit away.

Manny is number 1 going into his fight with Hatton.

Thank you Master Bilbo for enlightening the hordes of delusional Mighty Mike bandwagoners... You're the real MASTER...

Very nice how you fail to admit how shot a boxer ODLH was/is in order to solidify your Pac hugging. Bhop also benefited in similar fashion by choosing plodding stylistic fighters and fighting them after they either exited the buffet line or liposuction treatment (lol)
What? Before that fight I reasoned out that PAC has a chance to defeat Hoya coz PAC has speed, quickness, youth, stamina and heart in his favor and adding Hoya is old and partially shot... But many laughed and totally write off Manny coz they said Hoya is just too big for PAC... They're saying PAC only accepted the fight because of the huge money... That's my story before that fight...
