#1 Obviously He was number one before he semi-retired, came back and showed that hes just as good as he was before he left, Hes beat all the guys that Pac gets aclaimed for beating, So I dont see why he aint everybodys p4p#1 Ask yourself this, If Pac and Floyd had to fight, who would be the favourite?
With Floyd's size advantage, of course Floyd would be the favorite. Pac is slightly naturally smaller than Marquez in height and build when Pac fought Marquez. But we're talikng p4p here. Congratulations, Floyd dominated a 36 year old blown up 142 pound guy that last fought at 135 lbs. 6 months ago and was heavily favored to win. That's not what pound for pound means. If he beat someone like Mosley or Paul Williams last night I'd say yes he overtakes the #1 spot. But no, not by beating the older smaller man not settled in his newly gained weight. Based on how he looked alone, #2. He wants his old spot back, he's going to have to take it away from Pacquiao by beating him or hope Pac loses to Cotto.
Looking how good he did last night (Marquez being small or not) His skills looks better than anybody else in the world right now. Pac may have had the fights to make him #1. But Floyd should be #1 IMO. He would beat Pac.
