    Please....don't change what actually was there.

    Trinidad was slightly smaller. Mosley was smaller than Wright. Quartey was not at this point in his career. And Taylor was BIGGER. Wright never lost a fight in there. Mosley wasn't past it, just in the wrong weight class (so not prime). Trinidad was past his prime in the same way that MAB was. Either way, he is going to be considered better than MAB in an all time sense. The Taylor draw is equal to the JMM draw. The thing is, Wright never lost. Otherwise they are equal. Pacman fought a very bad version of Morales. And face it, fighting Quartey as a filler fight was better than anyone Pacman fights as filler.

    Stupid one liner :lol: . . . I'm not exactly a PBF fan dude, but PBF is an undefeated 5 divisional champ that's why he is the #1 P4P. Did he became a five divisional champ for fighting contenders?

    Can you explain that logically? :think

    I agree. If Floyd's retired and Winky beats Hopkins, Winky should definitely leapfrog Pac and take number one.

    What if Winky beats Hopkins and Pac beats Soto? How would the p4p ranking go then?

    Here's the most logical and possible scenario..

    Wright 'outboxes' Hopkins and earns a decision over an old BHOP. It is quite possible that Pacquiao smashes a young Soto and KO's him for another win.

    So Wright will credit for outboxing a 40 year old boxer and earn P4P while Pacquiao does even more to win with a KO victory over an "IN HIS PRIME" Soto but doesn't earn #1 P4P because MP is not as technically skilled as Winky...

    Of course he can be P4P number.

    If he can beat Marquez and Barrera, I will give him the higher spot.

    Now thats not fair ain't it? Beating an old fighter by UD earns Wright p4p number 1, while MP gets nothing if he KO's a fighter in his prime?

    As long as Mayweather is active, he is number 1, and if Ring mag, decides to challenge that, we it wouldn't be the worst decision they ever made but certianly not the best. Anyone who knows anything about the sport can clearly see that Mayweater is P4P the best boxer alive right now, no question.

    Fraud is retired, he should no longer be ranked at all.
