    This is not to **** off anyone and much less to take away from what Pac did last night but let's also be realistic... I don;t think that Pac can beat any top WW at this point... I mean, Oscar was not necesarily the top man of the division, you know?

    I honestly don't think that he ca beat Margo, Cotto & PW just to name a few. However, I do think that he can go to 140 and have some great / beateble fights such as Hatton.

    As for ODLH, I don't think that he would retire on a loss note, perhaps he could make a last fight with someone that should also retire by now and close the show.

    Pac always maintained that he was going to 140 after this fight. No one is saying that he is a WW.

    Yes, he should stay there at 140 if that's the case... I really can't believe this little guy... I wish that we could have some fighters with his heart!

    Yes, he can stay at 140 and fight these guys ---- Hatton, Mayweather, or Marquez (if the price is right). I don't he has a chance against Margo and PW.

    I agree with everything you said.

    I think Mossley is on the slide and i expect him to get beat by Margo. A Mossley - DLH fight next summer would be a good final fight for both men.

    He's just too small. Beating de la Phony did nothing for his legacy. He would beat up hatton. The real fight is pac against the gay one. Which floyd would most likely take, due to the money he would make in that fight.

    I doubt Pacquiao could beat margo or cotto. But that in no way detracts from the amazingness he pulled off last night. If there's any fighter in the game who you're allowed to get "carried away with" its Pac. He proves himself in every fight he's in.

    you have all been slagging of joe calzaghe and his hopes of p4p no1 but failed to mention pbf.
    if he comes out of retirement it is straight back to no2 for pacman,even after last nights performance.

    If PBF came out of retirement, I would still rank Manny ahead of him.

    If Floyd wants his P4P status back, he can fight Pac.

    I'm not so sure about that. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Floyd comes back.

    Floyd will come back and fight for the #1 spot against Manny. If he rematches and beats Hatton before Pacman/Hatton takes place I still rank him behind Manny.

    Only fighting Manny puts him back at #1 I'm almost certain he is coming straight for Manny or Pacman/Hatton winner.

    You really don't know much about boxing, do you?

    There's no way The Ring would demote the active and reigning no.1 for a guy stepping out of retirement before he had even fought, no way.

    Plus probably the key factor in deciding on p4p is recent form.

    In his last 3 fights, Pac has beaten the world p4p#2, won a title at a 5th weight division with a KO, and dominated an ATG welterweight after jumping TWO weight divisions to produce one of the best wins in recent boxing history.

    In PBF's last 3 fights he has laboured to an SD against the same guy Pac dominated (a sloppy and poor performance by PBF by his own standards), KO'd Hatton (a great win but not as good as Pac v Marquez as JMM is p4p#2 and Hatton was **** at 147 as we seen v Collazo), and beat... Carlos Baldomir :lol::patsch.


    You're thick as pig****.
