    Will he give it to his nemesis, JMM?

    I think it really depends on how he loses. If he loses a very close fight, then I think he would keep it. However, if it's overy one-sided, then he's no longer p4p #1.

    Yes. The difference in the rankings btwn Marquez, Calzaghe, and Pacman are very tight.

    Whether he should or not, he probably will because it's hard to keep anyone #1 following a loss; particularly when he likely wouldn't be fighting for another 6 months.

    Well if he loses I dont know if it should affect his P4P rating or not considering he is fighting a man who is naturaly 3 weight divisions higher then he is. Its like a Destroyer attacking a Heavy Cruiser, this is f*cking bullsh*t! Go Pacman since your the underdog and the smaller guy!

    I hope he wins. That could set up several more lucrative bouts, then retire with prestige and skrilla. Maybe DLH > HATTON > JMM

    More like DLH then Hatton or Mayweather then Hatton or Mayweather then JMM.


    He wins in all those fights (i'd put it at around 10% chance), he'd go down as top 5 ATG in my book.

    well lets say that DLH mops the floor with him.....why should he drop to #2? do ya'll think JMM could do a better job?

    if Pac or JMM lose to DLH, its only because he's much bigger

    that would be like Calz and Bhop loosing to Haye, or Klits.....it doesn't really matter

    but if Pac wins, it's a great win, Legendary even.......but if DLH wins, it's a "so ****ing what?, you did what you were expected to in a fight that shouldn't of happened anyways"

    so IMO, win or lose Pac doesn't lose any credibility nor should he drop in the rankings.....but if DLH wins, he still doesn't even deserve to touch the top 10 P4P lists, he deserves no credit

    Agreed. Floyd's never been retired in my book. He'll came back in '09...I'd put that at about 85%

    if he loses i could see him drop as low as #4 behind calzaghe, marquez and hopkins even if it is a one-sided stoppage.

    Any ODHL win even if it's a gift will certainly see him vault into the lower portion of Ring's top 10 P4P.

    How can anyone claim Pacquiao's #1 spot is soft?, that's just ridiculous in my opinion especially when the man below him is a man he already beat and fought twice. I know the fights were close and all but still Pacquiao holds a win over him regardless of the long list of excuses people want to come up with. If anything it's JMM's #2 competing with Calzaghe's #3 pretty much like Mayweather's #1 with Pac's #2.

    Pacquiao is a solid #1 in my opinion and is only in danger of losing it if he loses to JMM, only then it wouldn't be a horrible choice to push JMM #1 and Pacquiao #2.

    I wouldn't even consider moving DLH up if he wins, if he loses of course he drops but a win he doesn't deserve recognition for it in my opinion. This is a fight where DLH has the advantage in every single area 110%, meaning there's no competition for him here all the heat is on Pacquiao. I know DLH moving down one division is a major thing but still the advantages remain and they're HUGE.

    Pacquiao losing shouldn't drop him big time either, after all this is the #1 P4P fighter taking a HUGE risk despite the serious financial rewards reputation is also on the line and P4P status.

    Just because in the record books, Pac beat JMM once and drawed him once...Doesn't mean it's true.
