    Meldrick had to of been very close, if not inside the Top 5 at the time of the fight but not #2. Would've been Whitaker then too, and Chavez had just freshly moved into #1 after Tyson's loss to Douglas in Tokyo.

    At the very start of 1990:

    1-Tyson
    2-Chavez
    3-Whitaker
    4-Esparragoza
    5-Nunn
    6-Taylor
    7-Nelson

    No. Pac was #1. JMM was RING #5, and a surprising amount of people had him lower.

    Apparently this was the 1999 P4P ring mag list:

    1. Roy Jones
    2. Floyd Mayweather
    3. Felix Trinidad
    4. Oscar De La Hoya
    5. Shane Mosley
    6. Mark Johnson
    7. Ricardo Lopez
    8. Erik Morales
    9. Bernard Hopkins
    10. Steve Johnston

    Floyd being #2 after beating a faded Genaro makes sense out of Broner's Magical manifestation at #5 now.

    :-(

    Yeah, it's damn near obligatory if it's a feasible fight in terms of weight class, isn't it?

    Leonard, Duran, Hearns, Whitaker and Chavez delivered.

    Manny was not #1 at PAC-Marquez 2.
    Floyd was unranked at may-Marquez due to inactivity.
    Mosley was unranked at may-Mosley due to inactivity.

    Got it?!!!!

    Mosley had not fought in 16 month so he was not ranked.
