    Winning a tune up fight doesn't make you the P4P king right away. Floyd is expected to blow away his opponent anyway. I was expecting a 4th round KO but the fight lasted the whole 12 rounds. That was impressive on the part of Marquez.

    A lot of people gets carried away by their emotions right after the fight.

    PBF is the better fighter, Pacquiao has the better resume. At the end of the day, you go with the person who scalped more future HOF's - Packy.

    still, pacquaio is p4p numero uno fighter. he has big balls on fighting bigger boxers. How can you say pbf is the #1 p4p if he always fight smaller guys than him???

    Here's Manny Steward's take, for what it is worth:

    Q: Now coming into this fight, should Floyd still be regarded as the pound for pound king in boxing or do you think Manny Pacquiao has rightly surpassed him in that regard?

    A: I think Manny has surpassed him. He’s been active. He’s fought top notch guys at their peak and continued it for five years, too, almost which is unbelievable. Where there was questions about Floyd not wanting to fight Margarito at the time, and there was no money he said with Shane Mosley, so he avoided a lot of those real tough fights whereas Manny, whoever they make a match with he just says, “Let’s fight!” I don’t care whether it’s been Barrera, and the fights with Marquez, (Eric) Morales, Ricky Hatton, Oscar (De La Hoya), I mean—he’s earned the right. He is definitely the pound for pound champion as far as I’m concerned, and not just because of activity but the high level of competition he’s continuously fought for five years and performed great in all of those fights.

    Voted for Manny Pacquiao, it just wouldn't be fair to take the P4P title from him just because Mayweather is back, however if Floyd were to face Mosley and beat him he would have a better claim as being number one.

    Pac is number 1 P4P, Mayweather cheated but weighing in heavier then he is suppose too. He weighed about 160 tonight against a old, slow Marquez. He was a shell of himself, so he gets no credit for beating an old shot Marquez

    Pac has the better resume but I think Floyd is clearly the better fighter.
