PBF has to beat PAC first before he can get No. 1 status or if Pac loses his next fight, IMHO those are the two quickest way for Floyd to get to number 1...
@boxholic I am sure Floyd will get a lot of credit if and when he beats Mosley and it will be well deserved, but IMHO although JMM was No. 2 P4P when PBF fought him, they fought way above his fighting weightclass for PBF to get any credit from beating him ...
It depends how. If Floyd Knocks out Shane Mosley or beats him as bad as he beat JMM than he is #1 untill that Manny is unless Manny has a bad day vs Clottey.
Floyd has faced the top 3 P4P fighters in his last 2 fights in Mosley and JMM. If he gets a Pac fight afterwards I think it will be hard for the Duckweather name to stick.
Its close but manny has to edge it because how he beat cotto,hatton,oscar and diaz and floyd has fought beat just maquez in that timeframe but i would have floyd as #1 WW because shane is #1 ww atm
Then they're like Octavius and Antoninus = there can only be one. No p4p king until they fight each other.
My personal opinion would be to give it to Floyd, since he's facing a bigger challenge in Mosley.
add this...an OLDER & SLOWER version of Sugar Shane Mosley. :chomp:
There is no PROBABLY about it. Pac WILL be no1.
If PBF really is desperate for that title, all he has got to do is beat PAC. Simple.
Pac is fighter of the year and decade, and unless something drastic happens. Like Pac losing to Clottey, he WILL be no1.
Pacquiao would still be no. 1 but he wouldn't accept a fight against Mayweather to prove it. Mayweather is no. 1 by default cause Pac is scared of needles, or something.
floyd can only become #1 when pac loses either by his fists or someone elses
Floyd to number 1.
Beating Mosley is much more impressive than beating Clottey.
but KO hatton in 2 was more impressive than KO hatton in 10.
also stopping dlh is more impressive than getting a split decision.
also tKOing cotto is more impressive than beating up a blown up lightweight.
Floyd to number 2.
Beating Mosley is much more impressive than beating Clottey.
Cotto beat SSM and that didnt make him no1. If PBF can beat SSM it will show he probably deserves to not be any lower than no2. And no2 is his rightful place that he earnt.
Pacquiao would still be no. 1 but he wouldn't accept a fight against Mayweather to prove it. Mayweather is no. 1 by default cause Pac is scared of needles, or something.
Pac has always been p4p the best, even when Floyd werent retired. Its just the experts had it wrong.
Nobody had it wrong bro... Is all opinion based anyways... There is no way of really knowing who is the best P4P fighter is...
floyd shoulda got the crown back when he came back from retirement....pac never beat him to get it
that's not how p4p works
I do agree with you guys about them needing to fight each other, so we can find out who is the true #1 p4p4.
floyd needs pac, but back is already the true #1 p4p... there's no such think as an interim p4p #1 or a super p4p king
