    If Pacquiao beats Cotto impressively I'll make him my #1.

    There about even in achievements- I agree with TFFP a cotto win would set Pac ahead.... Cotto will beat him though.

    I'm not picking. Floyd is lightyears ahead and if they met would prove so. At the moment Pacquiao has taken the better wins and beating Cotto (which he will) would only improve this. Beating a small Marquez doesn't automatically take him back to the fabled No.1 spot however I cannot put Pacquiao there when he's not the best !

    Agree with everything you said here, can't believe Cotto is being wrote off by so many. :thumbsup

    Pacquiao has the better wins for sure, beating Cotto would be better than Mayweather's win last night by a long way. I couldn't see any argument for not having Pacquiao that being the case.

    Good post, I have Mayweather and Pac joint number 1 at the moment bit if Pac beats Cotto (which I personally can't see happening) he will definitely have earned the lineal number 1 spot.

    Yeah not arguing that TFFP - I honestly think Floyd knew that himself. Floyd could have put Marquez away after round 2 IMO however I think he knew what would be said. If he'd have blew him out like he could have then all the talk would have been about how he was far too big/strong it was a mismatch etc etc. He made it about skill to try and counteract that and make the talk about his skill instead of the size !

    Pacquiao but I see Mayweather beating him head to head and regaining the title if it comes off.

    last night dosn't justify putting floyd on top for me. He won impressively. but beating a smaller opponent defies the logic of p4p doesn't it? I have pac #1 and floyd #2 for now.....

    Seconded:good. You can't instill him as #1 after beating up on an overmatched JMM. Pacquiao has been much active and deserves his ranking considering his victories before and after PBF retired- his inactivity has cost him top spot. PBF#2 for the time being until he beats Pacquiao.

    It will be interesting to see how many people who picked Pacquiao in a potential PBF fight who will all of a sudden change their minds now. PBF will always beat Pacquiao, IMO. Last night just reaffirms my stance on it.

    Floyd was number one, Pac got to number by beating guys that Floyd had already beat, Floyd then came back after 2 years to show he still is number one.

    He beat the second best P4P fighter in the world. People can't argue that Pac made Hatton and DLH look terrible and Floyd didn't. Floyd just did the same thing with Marquez.

    Mayweather i think if the two actually fight it would be the same as last night. i would see cotto giving mayweather more problems than pacquiao
