    My list before the fight:

    1 - Floyd Mayweather
    2 - Manny Pacquioa
    3 - Juan Manuel Marquez

    In my opinion, Marquez has since proved himself the better man. But the powers that be thought otherwise.

    What should I do?

    What are you doing?

    Go ahead

    You can put Zelenoff at #1 and PBF at #100 for all i care, but the ring rankings arent gonna put fighter A who lost to fighter B just because they felt fighter A should of won a close fight that could of gone either way,

    Depends how you saw the fight I guess. I had Pac winning by virtue of the knockdown

    He remains at 3 on my list

    Why should we neccesarily be interested in what Ring thinks?

    What do you think?

    This is a better answer - what are you doing about JMM?

    Hopefully not, considering that would be bias as hell.

    Nothing changed, it was far too close to call for me to consider moving him down. He showed no signs of aging, he still looks to be fighting at the level that earnt him that ranking

    Still at 4

    Pac stays at 2 on my list and JMM moves up to about 6 or 7 (i admit i had underrated him)

    I thought JMM would do well early and then crumble but he didn't.

    Pac, though he didn't do as well as i expected him to do, stays at #2. I think its more to JMM's credit than Pac's lack of ability.

    Pac is definately better than JMM though. Consider that JMM had the major style advantage and as you know style make fights, yet Pacquiao still beat him. (114-113 for me)

    Why would a guy who lost move ahead of a guy on the list he just lost to?
