Does Pacquiao Beating MAB Again Move Automatically Him Up P4P?

    Achilles, what I meant to ask was, should Pac be p4p above Floyd given the Collins scenario.

    if floyd loses then yes. mab was still very competitive against marquez, that should'ne take any credit away from pac if he does beat him.

    You know what, I don't mean to do that. All I mean to say is that Pacman gains little from this win. He doesn't lose anything and nothing should be taken away from him for beating a pretty good fighter. But MAB is not what he was, and IMO, not a top P4P guy anymore. This win shouldn't move him up any if PBF wins, no matter how he does it (unless PBF clearly loses and they rob Hatton)

    i agree. without the scenario of floyd losing, i feel a win over mab is not enough to warrant a move up the p4p rankings. he's beaten him before in devastating fashion, if he wins against him now it just proves what we've known all along. on the other hand if floyd does loses against hatton, then pac becomes no.1 akin to hopkins ascent back in 04.

    The thing is Nigel Collins said He's ready to Crown Pac if Floyd bore us again. The Ring recognize also that they sell more copies if Pac was on the Cover.

    If Ring is worried about selling copies then they have lost their integrity. The rankings are about who is the best, not the most exciting. If PBF can box Hatton and beat him clearly, I don't care how boring it is, he should remain #1.

    You are being ridiculous. MAB broke back into the top 10 when he beat Morales. He has been doing top things ever since i.e. beating IBF champ, fighting mandatory, avenging a close fight...

    ...losing a RAZOR THIN fight to JMM does not hurt his standing.

    Outside of their loss at 130 MAB has done quality work. Being the WBC and IBF champ, even former, while beating Morales (the consensus no1) in his first fight tips it. The loss to JMM is highly disputed, PACs to Morales is not. It depends how you look at them but their ranking doesn't matter. This is a QUALITY win.

    PAC did fight Morales after MAB and he lost to him. It is after that where many believe Morales to be shot.

    I agree that PAC being ranked over Floyd is moronic.

    Sorry, I had not taken into consideration other threads and comments. I don't usually get involved with the stupid fanboy ****.

    If PAC and Floyd win, PAC remains his P4P *****.

    It's funny because Mayweather would get criticized for fighting someone he already dominated in a rematch. How about Pacquaio? Nope, lets praise him and give him top spot in the sport.

    If you're talking top ten, then yes it is refutable. Very. Undeniably refutable.

    Why does the fact that Pacquaio hits hard and scores flashy KOs warrant him more credit than a master boxer who wins clear decisions?
