Manny has a very strong argument to be number one based on opposition faced.

In fact I can't think of a single fighter ever who has jumped so many divisions and then fought such tough competition in the weight class he jumped to back to back.

There's no Collazo, Gomez, Baldomir or Estrada on his record at 147, he's gone straight for the top dogs and is cleaning out the division.
De la Hoya was no top dog. Wasn't ranked at all. He wasn't even a welterweight. Hadn't fought there in almost 8 years when he fought Pac. How far back are you going with this resume thing so we can get a clear understanding? Collazo isn't formidable but Clottey is, relevant De la Hoya doesn't count for Mosley but 154 irrelevant De la Hoya does count for Pac at welterweight, Margarito doesn't count for Mosley because he was cheater but Cotto wasn't ruined by said cheater, disregard the Cotto catchweight tactic, etc. It seems like you are restricting it so that Pac "has" to be the choice without a doubt. I guess considering all these conditions then there is no argument. Its unanimous, in only 2 fights Pac has the best resume at welterweight without question. I already thought Pac was the legitimate #1 p4p fighter. Now that is the real question and I think Pac has answered enough to warrant the masses to agree in majority that Pac is truly the #1 fighter in boxing right now. Whats even better is that I think welterweight has the top 3 p4p fighters. Another good question forms
