    Boxrec says Pacquiao is the 3rd best P4P fighter in the world behind Pavlik and Calzaghe.

    Good that FightNews doesn't have P4P rankings or else you might see PAC's name on the no. 1 slot.

    Ring Mag has PAC as the no. 1 P4P and 3rd at Lightweight behind Casa and Campbell.

    Overall PAC got the highest ratings... ;)

    My point was that Boxrec has the worst rankings possible. You cannot use them to legitamize an argument. They use a computed system and their rankings are always horrible because the system is flawed. Last year they have Pacquiao ranked #7 P4P once.

    ESPN has Pacquiao ranked as the #4 LW in the world.

    I feel a logical look at the subject and a consensus of boxing writers is better than using certain sites. Boxrec is bad for rankings. I don't agree with Fightnews rankings, but there are worse rankings out there.

    Pacquiao should be #1 P4P without a doubt....I don't see much logical debate against that.

    Who cares, nobody reasonable does. You don't get to #1 by beating David Diaz, end of story. No matter how good your achievements are, you don't get ranked highly in a new division hypothetically, you have to go out and achieve it.
