    Yahoo! Boxing has Manny Pacquiao voted best P4P in a poll of 22,000+ votes. I have noticed many other boxing sites mentioning the same thing.

    Billy C (the only boxing only radio show left) also put Manny as the best boxer in the sport due to to his class of opposition over his last 10 fights.

    At least people have more sense than the self-appointed journalist experts from Ring magazine or whatever. The same people that think that Taylor, Hopkins, Wright and Pavlik belonged on a p4p top 10 list.

    If I was a subscriber I would burn the magazine.

    Cool.....but my vote is still for Mayweather. Despite the fact that I want to slap him.

    it was a joke.

    IMO the gap between mayweather and Pac is not that big

    Do you feel this way because of competition or do you feel the gap in actual in ring ability is relatively close?

    Pacquiao? That guy is one-dimensional and really lost his last fight, he should feel lucky to be top 5 p4p.

    Its a mixture of both.

    I feel that Pacquiao's in ring ability appears much less good than Floyd's because Pac's opposition is so much better (among other reasons), but that in fact it is not.

    Yeah absolutely, doesn't change the fact that he is one-dimensional and has looked average in his last couple of fights.
