Havig Mayweather ranked number 2 is bad for Boxing.

I think all guys in boxing should fight atleast 3 times per year. perfect example are the klitschko´s and adamek all very active fighters.
Floyd is ranked 2 because of his skills not what he has done lately.
I Give him til may if he has nothing lined up he will go and number 3 moves up a place.

 

I got no problem with Floyd at number 2.
He deserves that recognition, skill-wise that is, and he still fights anyway.

Now if he stops fighting on 2011, or announces once and for all that he's finally hanging his gloves for good, then by all means remove him from the list.

 

Agreed.

I dont care how bad a person is, if Osama Bin Laden is the 2nd best boxer in the world then he is. Truth aint always good.

 

It isn't about whether he is a good or bad fighter (or person). This is about if he is active enough. 2 fights in 3 years is not enough to rank a fighter.

 

Dont worry come May 1st, Mayweather will be off the list due to inactivity and I just cant see him having a fight lined up by then.

 

I think Floyd is #1. He's never dropped out of the top 10 Ring Mag P4P by years' end since 1998 and was #2 in 1999. All he has done since then is reign as #1 for three years. And the years he wasn't #1, he was #2 something like 4 times. If you trace the lineage despite his "retirement", he is the legit 147 pound champ, and proves so and then some when he annihilated the then 3rd best fighters P4Pers in the sport. It's all opinion, but to say it is absurd to rate Floyd #1 is... absurd.

 

The way he fights and how he dominates. And of course skill-wise, Would be more than enough to rank him high.

 

And he has his undefeated resume to back this up. Fact. :good

Ali has losses, Ray Robinson, and Duran all have. Even Pacquaio. Fact. :good

 

What is "active enough", exactly?

He has last fought within the past year (within the last seven months, actually). That should be all that matters.

Ranking him below number 1 or 2 would be disingenuous.

 

Having mayweather out of the boxing ring is bad.

 

Seeing as how most people at the top only fight once or twice a year i don't see the point of this thread or the big deal.

Pound for Pound Best not Active for Active Most

And even if he is removed from "the list". Boo ****in' hoo... That means about as much as Pacquiao's 8th title lol. Unranked or not, we know he's not retired, and he is still THE BEST BOXER today.

I think a majority of Floyd haters are bitter Floyd fans that are mad he doesn't fight when, who, and how they want him to. People seem to forget celebrities and athletes are people too. THEY DON'T OWE US ****!
