    what if mayweather moved up to 160 and beat martinez, would he over take pacquiao in the all time rankings.

    i dont think it, but intersting to see what others think.

    Floyd Mayweather (41-0) already is better all time than Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2)

    Mayweather is the definition of a P4P king...
    By the year, where they rank P4P according to The Ring:
    1998: Mayweather, #8
    1999: Mayweather, #2
    2000: Mayweather, #7
    2001: Mayweather, #5
    2002: Mayweather, #8
    2003: Mayweather, #5, Pacquiao, #6
    2004: Mayweather, #2, Pacquiao, #5
    2005: Mayweather, #1, Pacquiao, #5
    2006: Mayweather, #1, Pacquiao, #2
    2007: Mayweather, #1, Pacquiao, #2
    2008: Pacquiao, #1
    2009: Pacquiao, #1, Mayweather, #2

    It's pretty undeniable who the better all time fighter is.

    Well, let's put this in perspective. If Floyd beats Sergio, he would have beaten three consecutive guys who were top P4P fighters. Pac's last three opponents were nowhere near the top list with Cotto being the exception. Floyd would have also beaten a bigger guy who's more dangerous and far more skillful than any of Pac's opponents who had a size advantage over him. I like to think Floyd would have made it a close race if not surpass Pac's legacy. It shouldn't have to solely be about names. I don't necessarily think a weathered Morales was a tougher fight than a prime Castillo. Beating a damaged Margarito isn't a bigger accomplishment than getting a win over a top P4P fighter in Martinez who's on a hot streak. But that's just me.

    Do yourself a favor, and do your boxing homework before you post here.

    Sugar was easily top 10 p4p almost universally going into his fight with Mayweather.

    People have short memories but anyway a win over Martinez does ALOT for anyones career Manny or Floyd.

    Currently Manny's career is not above Floyds for me! But it is subjective the best way to settle it is for them to get it on!
