    I agree. I don't think a boxer should remain at the top regardless of their opposition. If they aren't fighting the best, then even though they may potentially be the best P4P in the world, they don't deserve to hold onto the number 1 spot by default. It should be a title that a fighter has to hold on to, not one that he has to avoid losing.

    It's simple, I've always had Juan at number 2, secondly even if I hadn't, the win would have moved him above Pacquiao, but I can't move him above Mayweather considering he already thoroughly lost to him, if he avenges it, by all means I will

    As unfair as it seems to say, Floyd IS the p4p king by default, he's shown to me he is the most skilled boxer on the planet, and until somoene shows me otherwise, or he noticably slips in his skillset (he has, but not to the point that I consider him shot or past it) then he retains the spot, as long as he keeps fighting

    If Juan wants to be p4p #1, then he can fight Floyd for it like he did in 09

    Marquez, Ward, Mayweather, Donaire, and Wladimir Klitschko are my top 5. Pacquiao's anywhere from 7-10 as I think Martinez has to rate over him now.

    Pac clearly doesnt deserve to be in the top 5 and its not debatable. The dude has looked like **** since Margarito.
