pacquiao is still p4p #1

[BIG H]

Until they fight each other, they can't be split imo. They should share number 1

[C-Lo]

ring mag's top 5 p4p as of may 4, 2010

1. pacquiao (same)
2. floyd (same)
3. jmm (up 1 notch)
4. donaire (up 1 notch)
5. mosley (down 2 notches)

pacquiao is still recognized as p4p #1 today.

No way mosely in the top ten BEFORE the fight. He only beat margocheater...who esle..mayorga vargas..? lost to Cotto and winky.

Nonito will be out of the top twenty after vic gets finished with him...

possible but what happens to donaire's rating if he defeats/ko darchinyan again?

Donaire is rated WAY TOO high for having beaten only one big name. I think the whole forum is puzzled at why he's ranked there. But another fight with Darchiniyan, I think the winner will stay the same, but won't end as early.

I disagree, Floyd is number 1 after Saturdays performance. How do you keep someone like that off the top after Saturday?

he hasnt fought the #1 boxer yet.

Pacquaio never beat Floyd when he was p4p number 1 either to claim the spot in the first place.

Rantcatrat, who knows what the logic is when judging p4p rankings lol - Everyone has their own way of measuring p4p. Most peoples Top 10 beneath the first 2 are night and day apart

Floyd retired. You can't hold the top spot when you're no longer active. Pac won the spot by default. Floyd came back and you can't automatically get your spot back. That's like the head coach of a team retiring, the team hires a new coach, then the former coach wants his job back a while later.

Floyd did beat Marquez and Mosley coming out of retirement but since then, Pacquiao beat Hatton, Cotto, and Clottey. I think the two fighters are going tit-for-tat so they will remain in the same rankings until they actually fight in my book.

I agree completely. I said before the Mosley fight that it didn't matter how dominant Mayweather was, Pacquiao has had the better run since Floyd retired and he absolutely deserves to remain in the #1 spot. Now, if Mayweather were to beat Martinez in his next fight, provided he doesn't fight Pacquiao, I might feel differently.
