    Mayweather, followed by Calzaghe.

    You can argue Pac for No. 3, but you can argue against him, too.

    Nope not at all, And you know what the lb 4 lb should be the same as it was before. If they drop Marquez from his spot then thats BS, I felt he should have won, but Pac got the win it was a close fight and thus they shouldn't be changed. Pacquiao didn't demolish Marquez and he needed to do that if he wanted a say in lb 4 lb king. But no thats Mayweather still.

    After last night's questionable decision, there should be NO question whatsoever that Mayweather is number one (there really shouldn't have been any question before either).

    No. Mayweather is clearly the more skilled fighter, he's undefeated, and he's beaten some pretty good comp. as of lately. There's no good reason to put Pac ahead of Mayweather at this point.

    Fair enough. In my opinion, Calzaghe has showed better form of late than Manny has, especially as I scored last night's bout for Marquez.

    As far as I was concerned Pacman was p4p #1 before yesterday's fight. He still is, obviously. But he doesn't consolidate it THAT much.

    Mayweather has to be #1 IMO.

    Just watching the guy...I mean Mayweather has probably the best pair of physical talent and boxing skills you'll ever see, minus maybe RJJ.

    no. pac is still a solid #2. this win should erase any claim of calzaghe to #2. how can joe be #2 if he hasn't fought an elite fighter yet? pac, on the other hand, has already fought 4 elite fighters : sasakul, erik (3x), barrera (2x) and marquez (2x). that's 8 fights against elite fighters compared to calzaghe's 0.

    just a question... how many fights has floyd taken against elite fighters?

    Pac has now foughtthe toughest opponent in the Division, whens the last time floyd can say that? Hmmm.......2002?:lol:

    Pac won in a close fight. His power and improved skill gave him the edge. Marquez had rounds and moments but Pac never failed to come back and regain the momentum.

    I disdain the P4P argument and could care less about 1 or 2 position. I look forward to watching PAC more than mayweather, UNLESS THE OPPONENT IS MIGUEL COTTO!!!!!
