How does the P4P list look now? I'm only somewhat into P4P lists, but as far as they are concerned, this win by Pac obviously has a big impact on it. Morales and MAB are clearly behind Pac now. I'd think Pac is top 5 material right about now.
Also, who would you LIKE to see Pac fight next? I want to see him fight Raheem. Raheem has awesome boxing skills and it would be a good style matchup with him vs Pacquiao. Another reason I want to see it is because Raheem has a chance to win, whereas even though I'd like to see it, I know Pac would destroy MAB in a rematch. I wanna see Pac fight guys like Raheem, Chavez, Barrios, etc.
Before last night's fight, Pac is already #4 in the Ring Magazine P4P list behind MAB, Winky and PBF. Some people may have to argue if Pac should surpass MAB for the #3 spot after last night.
i agree, id have pac ahead of barrera at no.3 and then id have barrera at no.4.
My top 5 P4P now would be:
1. Winky
2. PBF
3. Pacquiao
4. MAB
5. Castillo
If Pac beats JMM and MAB, he would soon be at #1. PBF is a complete fighter but I don't see him beating the diamond-cloaked defense and textbook execution of Winky.
It's the perfect time for Manny to collect the alphabet belts now to further solidify his HOF status and westling the "Best Asian Boxer" from Flash Elorde. MAB could argue that he wasn't 100% in his last fight with Pacman, but the way he was dominated and humiliated has deminished his confidence to give Pacman a rematch. He would rather fight class "B" opponents to protect his belts. If he was thinking he could do a Pac (PAC-EM 2) on Pac he was hugely mistaken. PAC-EM 1 was way to close a fight than PAC-MAB 1.
After that, he should gun for JMM, defeat him -- and finally grab the #1 P4P spot and cement his HOF status with exclamation point!
A Raheem fight is a possibility for Pac but Raheem has to go down to 130. I don't see Pac going beyond 130. Besides Raheem should be the one chasing Pac to get any opportunity for a boxing glory. But knowing Pacman's unquenching quest for boxing glory, he might give Raheem a serious thought.

yeah, thats sorta how i put it in my original post about how far Pac moves up the P4P list last night... He should at least be at #3, maybe even #2
I'd say he's top 4.
My top 4
Mayweather
Wright
Castillo
Pacquiao
I'd say go after Barrera first. I would favor Pacquiao over Barrera. Barrera's best chance is to slug with Pacquiao and even though I think it would be competitive I don't see him outslugging Pacquiao. He has some good technical skills but I don't think his jab is long enough to be effective.
I'd favor Raheem and I would still slightly favor Marquez over Pacquiao. They both have great technical skills and both have good long jabs.
