pound for pound is hypothetical: if everyone was the same size who would win.

Divisional rankings are based solely on accomplishments within that particular division. So if Mayweather fought a journeymen at middleweight, he could still be Pound for Pound #1, but there would be no justification for making him the #1 middleweight contender.

That would be a jump of two weight classes, Donaire hasn't jumped two weight classes.

He's rated 7 in the same division that Vic Darchinyan is rated number 1 in. Beating Vic is the only reason Donaire is even heard of and the sole reason for his p4p status at 4, yet he's 6 places below him in the divisional rankings? makes zero sense to me.
