    Are you sure about that? I remember reading a disclaimer in the FOTY Marquez mag that it's assembled by the panel.

    Floyd does not need to fight Martinez it does nothnhg for him

    too much risk low reward, he would go in as the favorite and should he win they will call Martinez old

    One is an undefeated, top 3 p4per whos last fight was at 154, and will have more fights at that weight (canelo)

    The other is a top 3 p4per, has come up from 154, and who says he would go back to fight mayweather there no problem.




    Is it really all that hard to figure out

    what about these
    http://www.queensberry-rules.com/20...or-pound-top-20-list-update-october-2009.html

    Mosley was number 4 on ESPN's Sepptember of 2009
    http://www.examiner.com/article/september-2009-pound-for-pound-tracker

    here is Ring's
    http://www.pacquiaovideo.com/2009/09/ring-magazine-pound-for-pound-ranking.html
    it's the same conclusion though

    who would you put in front of him?

    Yeah, the ring divisional rankings are compiled by a panel - the p4p list is put together by one man.

    Does nothing for him?

    Beating a top 4 p4p fighter and the middleweight champion of the world does nothing for him?

    Compare a win over Martinez against a win over Alexander, Ghost, or Canelo, and that statement just doesnt hold.

    Martinez is the best possible win Mayweather can have at this point.

    Because what they are really saying is that they want FMJ to lose not have a competitive Boxing match.

    Using that logic, Ward is the best possible win Martinez can have at this moment.

    There are weight divisions for a reason.

    If Sergio wanted to put the pressure on, or to even show us that he could, he would have fought Dzin at 154 rather than drag him up. Or he would have fought there rather than with Barker, Macklin, or Murray... Dude hasn't fought at 154 in 4 years.

    FMJ, of course, is a naturally smaller fighter than most of those guys. :roll:

    Mentioning Pacfraud in that class is pure jokes. :lol:
