Floyd Mayweather Getting Dropped From P4P Rankings Starting May 1st

On Sunday 1st May, exactly one year on from his last victory over “Sugar” Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather Jr’s reign in the top two of the pound for pound rankings is set to finally come to an end after five years. The 34 year-old, who held the number one spot until Pacquiao convincingly out-classed Antonio Margarito last November, will move down one place for every three months he spends out of the ring. With no fight lined up, it could be a slippery slope for five-weight world champion, who has given no indication when he will get back in the ring. In total, the “Pretty Boy” has fought just twice in almost three and a half years, a sorry record for one of our generation’s most talented fighters and I just hope that he gets back in the ring sooner, rather than later. The fight we all want is Mayweather v Pacquaio of course, but at this moment, Mayweather seems more likely to challenge Victor Ortiz for his newly acquired WBC welterweight title. Mayweather recently attended Ortiz’s victory over Andre Berto and if that bout can be worked out in the next few weeks, it will be a welcome return to the boxing ring for the Michigan-born fighter, who has a perfect 41-0 record with 25 knockouts and has looked unbeatable at times in fifteen-year professional career. fffffffffffffffffffff
