    Floyd Mayweather Jr has been dropped from the pound-for-pound rankings of the prestigious “Bible of Boxing”, Ring Magazine.

    The Ring’s rankings continue to have “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao as No. 1 with WBC light middleweight champion Sergio Martinez of Argentina replacing Mayweather at No. 2 and Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire moving up to No. 3.

    Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez who may face Pacquiao in a third fight sometime in November is at No. 4 followed by Thai veteran Pongsaklek Wonjongkam.

    Rounding off the top ten are heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, Timothy Bradley, Giovanni Segura , Andre Ward and Miguel Cotto.

    Pacquiao who is also the reigning WBO welterweight champion is No. 1 in the welterweight divisional rankings with Victor Ortiz at No. 2 and former three-time champion Shane Mosley who faces Pacquiao at the MGM Grand on May 7 at No. 3 and Andre Berto at No. 4.

    Cotto is a good choice.

    wonjonkam can be removed as well as far im concerned, enter gamboa and Vitali.
    It doesnt matter though, once floyd schedules a fight they will put him ar 2 instantly.

    Fair enough. I think it's time to drop him from my own list too. Maybe Pac, JMM, Wlad, Martinez now. Or Pac, JMM, Martinez, Wlad... I don't know... who the **** cares?

    I'd like to see Froch in there but I think that only happens if he beats Johnson AND Ward. I think if he got the nod in the Kessler fight he would be around 8th or 9th.

    That's why I said maybe. The S6 winner is guaranteed a spot. I think Froch will have a lot of trouble with Johnson, actually, if the guy shows up in top form.
