    Floyd Mayweather Jr is "RETIRED", and therefore is no longer a factor in Boxing other than in hypothetical matchups.

    If you are asking who is the best P4P fighter, Manny. Floyd has no current P4P ranking.

    If you are asking who is the best on the all time P4P list, Manny Pacquiao, due to resume.

    In terms of skill level, Mayweather.

    All of this P4P talk is simply ridiculous when we think about it.

    Are you seriously sticking with this bull**** line of reasoning even after I made the qualifier?

    Floyds not a fighter anymore, just a snotty bigmouth.

    Nobody was calling Barrera, Morales or DLH shot before Manny beat them. He was a massive underdog in his first fight against MAB and the same goes for his fight with DLH. Claims that he cherry picked any of these guys are ludicrous.

    I'm not arguing with you, Rumsfeld.

    If you're asking who is the best P4P fighter on the planet, we don't ever consider Ray Leonard, because he is no longer an active fighter, just as Floyd is no longer active.

    Anyhow, we've both confirmed what you meant, and your answer is Manny Pacquiao.

    Actually, plenty of people were saying Morales was shot before he fought Manny, especially before the rematch when he had lost to Raheem.

    True, with his exceptional skills. He would have gone to distance. But he was too scared to have an L in his record.

    Ask this question in a few more weeks and everybody will say Floyd gbecause that is the correct answer, they're all a little hypo' at the moment they should be eating so many sweets.

    I am trying to do a top 5 p4p but having a very hard time and keep changing my mind.

    I cant put PBF at 1 because he hasnt fought all year while the other guys have good wins.


    Pac
    PBF
    JMM
    Calzaghe
    Hopkins


    Those 5 guys, maybe in that order. Hopkins latest win was very impressive yet Calzaghe has a win over him so must be higher though his Roy fight was meaningless. I want to put these other guys in there ahead of JMM but its disrespectful to his talent. I dont think its right to have Pac at 1 and have JMM at 4 or 5 when their fight in January could have been considered a draw or even a slight win for JMM.

    If he had a fight that close with the number 1 then its not right to have him lower than 2 or 3.

    Floyd! But it's speculation b/c Manny has improved A LOT! It's a close one but given that FLoyd is Undefeated and has always showed a **** load of skills I'd give him a slight edge.
