    Please factor in his former p4p #1 status and welterweight champion status.

    If Floyd beats JMM impressively (not struggling) and Pac beats Cotto, and Mosley stays inactive.

    WW:
    1. Pac
    2. Floyd
    3. Mosley

    P4P
    1. Pac
    2. Floyd
    3. Hopkins
    4. Mosley

    I think if Floyd comes back and KO's Marquez ... I think his spot p4p should be #1 ... He would have did something else that Pac didn't do besides give Hatton his first loss and beat DLH at a more natural weight 2 yrs earlier. But if Pac stops Cotto then he would solidify that #1 spot for the time being or atleast share the #1 spot with FLoyd, i'm giving Floyd alot of credit for not losing his #1 spot in the ring.
    Its also Okay for Floyd to hold the #2 spot ... either way its going to be highly debateable.

    His welterweight status should be #3 ... no matter what happens with Pac vs Cotto ... that fighter IMO is fighting for the #2 spot and there's no guarantee that Pac will campaign at welterweight full time. Plus Shane is the #1 guy and isn't probably going to fight this year.

    I don't know man Floyd is a huge favorite against Marquez. If he had fought Marquez somewhere like 138/139, then yea. But at 144/145... I mean there was a poll asking who would win between JMM and Cotto at 145 and like 95% voted Cotto. While Pac vs Cotto at 145, Pac is the favorite. Beating Marquez at those weights is good but not enough to overcome Pac's dominance.

    Not after a 2 yr layoff ... alot of questions have to be answered ... Marquez is still a professional _

    Cotto would beat alot of people ... he's still active ...

    If Floyd had never stepped down then it wouldn't be a JMM fight _

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:LOL Man you really are on Pac nuts. Cotto is not the best welter right now. How does Pac beating him make Pac #1 at WW. If Floyd is Floyd P4p 1 and I believe he retired linear champ at ww so he is 1 there to nice try though. Its a reason Pac wasn't considered p4p 1 when Floyd was around hell Pac was like 4 behind May, Hop,Calslappy. WW would be MAY, Mosely, then maybe you can say Pac, wait no you can't he is fighting at 145. I know you are going to say its only two pounds but if thats the case why doesn't pac just fight at 147.

    Lol what Pac dominance is hard to over come. Since PBF left we got Diaz at 135 LOL Bumb. 140 Hatton been there done that. Hatton running in to ring post then falling out after Cortez waved Floyd off. Hoya at 147 LOL in the words of Roach "shot fighter, can't pull the trigger and then the whole weight drained thing lol. What dominance? Please tell me:patsch

    Fine if you don't wanna rank Pac at WW then you can put Floyd on top but don't forget that he is fighting at a catchweight too, against someone who's never fought past lightweight. His last fight at 147 was against Hatton who hadn't done anything at WW except win a controversial decision against Collazo, and the fight before that was at 154.
