It’s a two-man race for the top spot.

That much has not changed.

In that race, the last man seen running can make the difference in which one is observed leading the race.

After a dominant win over Shane Mosley in May, a win where Floyd Mayweather overcame a shaky second round to rout his man, it was easy to see in the mind’s eye how he would deal with the only real rival he has.

Then Manny Pacquiao got back into the ring on November 13th.  So did Shane Mosley, back in September.

Put both of those factors together and this is the first pound for pound update since the end of the summer.
