Pacquiao or whoever inherits the no1 spot should Pac lose to Hatton will remain no1 until Mayweather fights, then if he looks as if he hasnt slipped, he will be no1 but it really depends on how gook he looks to see if he should be no1 again IMO.
Nope, he'd be number 2. They'd rank him above Calzaghe to make the fight with Pac even bigger. Bu they'd favor Pac over him still.
A P4P ranking for me should take the quality of opposition into consideration a little more than the talent of a particular individual, therefore right now PACQUIAO is automatically P4P #1, with or without Mayweather in the picture today !
it doesnt matter if he says hes back, hes only back when hes in the ring and has an opponent in front of him. He been inactive for more than a year, thats more then enough reason to xclude from P4P discussion
