Yes, and that goes for Manny too. If all fighters were at the same weight would Manny BEAT THEM ALL? Hell he cant even beat the all ones that he actually has met and that are actually in his weight class, so we don't even need to think much if he could beat them all. He couldn't.
This thread is utterly moronic and absolutely reeking of fanboy bias. OF COURSE Pacquiao's status should not change if he loses to De La Hoya, anyone with 1 lonely braincell and even a passing interest in boxing should realize that. If Joe Calzaghe jumped 2 divisions and fought David Haye, he would obviously be knocked out. Does that mean his pound-for-pound status should be affected in any way? NO, of course not. Are actually we punishing fighters for taking on challenges now? So if Pac, who won his 1st world title at 112lbs, loses to a man who won a world title at 160lbs, then he gets punished for taking on the challenge, while at the same time Joe Calzaghe takes the EASIEST fight out there by beating up a shot legend who was getting sparked out the last time he fought top 10 ranked fighters FOUR YEARS ago?!?!?!!? If Pac loses at his own weight and Calzaghe beats a good fighter like Pavlik or Dawson, then Calzaghe would move to no1 then. As of now, WORST THREAD OF THE WEEK. You guys have zero knowledge.
JC dropped from MY top 5 for taking the fight with SHOT JONES!!!! I like Joe but cummon, this is pathetic he is EXPECTED TO WIN!!!! TBH if he doesn't win by KO i wouldn't be surprised if people like JMM surpass him
