P4P Number 1 - Mayweather or Pacquiao

Pacquiao. Mayweather had been out of the ring for nearly two years and came back and fought a blown up featherweight. Regardless of how good his performance was, that doesn't mean he reassumes the number one mantle.

 

Apart from when the judges helped him against Castillo

 

Kos is just a trouble causer :good

 

The whole "pound for pound" thing has been misconstrued and abused. The correct definition is that if all the fighters were the same weight, who would be the best? Not the popularity contest it's become.

 

Is it possible to be p4p king with 1 fight in 2 years.:rofl

 

For me P4P No. 1 is the best boxer fighting today, ability wise not record. That is Floyd. He looked great last night. JMM is a brillliant fighter and is very precise with his punches, size difference aside he still didnt manage to land a decent punch and was made to look ordinary. I think Floyd would beat everyone out there (mentioned in earlier posts) he is just too good IMO.

 

Pacquiao.

 

If your going to do it like that then you would have rigondeaux, who has had 3 pro fights, in the P4P top 10

 

Of course you have to take in record.........the main factor in confirming a fighters ability is their record in the ring and the fighters they beat.

 

ok worded that wrong, but i'm sure you go my drift. Floyd is back on the scene put in a great performance and IMO goes back to the top as he's the best out there.

 

Floyd gets my vote, even though im more of a Pac man fan. Floyd is growing on me though.

 

Mayweather will never get credit from all fans, thats just the nature of the beast but I find it a little bit funny that his record gets picked to pieces yet Pac has one of the most suspect records of all (imo of course lol )

All his big wins since the 1st MAB fight were argueably against fighters who were past it (except JMM who imo beat him twice anyway) Only about 50% of Pacs opponents since then were coming off a win which to me doesnt sound worthy of a pfp title fighter.

These days the hype machine can truly create a legend that even the most knowledgable of fans can buy into from time to time.....just look at Amir as an example of a hype created fighter
