If Mayweather blows out Ortiz, and Pacquiao drops a few rounds to Marquez

"If Mayweather performs better against Pacquiao in their next fight, who's number 1?"

Yes or no?

Sorry, that makes no sense.

 

I think it's a non-issue myself.

Mayweather will get visibly hurt more than once against Ortiz, so even though PBF will probably still win a clear points decision due to his superior skillset, I doubt it'll be wide on the cards.

Pacquiao won't drop a round to Marquez, and will stop him.

 

WTF ???


What are you trying to ask here, Michigan ???

 

JMM is a top 5 p4p.

 

Pacquiao remains number 1.

 

i think both cases are expected. it depends really on how ortiz and jmm performed. if floyd dominated ortiz who put a lackluster performance while pac wins, drop a few rounds over a great/good performance by jmm then no way floyd is no. 1.

besides, floyd is not active enough imo to get into no.2 which martinez right now rightfully deserves. floyd's ranking is based on how is he percepted now and not enough actual accomplishments.

 

Fighting once and taking year long vacations (part-time boxer) in between and a retirement not too long ago is not the stuff of a P4P #1.

It would take several more great wins for Floyd and several more mediocre wins from Pac for Floyd to regain that #1 spot.

 

For my money Marquez would beat Ortiz and is a better fighter and has the perfect style to beat Pacquiao

so hell no.

 

If you're gonna consider Oscar one of Floyd's leftovers then you gotta consider Marquez one of Pacquiao's leftovers.

 

Styles make fights. Its a circular argument.
