Let's say you own a credible boxing website and you need to make a pound for pound list. Who would you have as current #1 pound for pound and why? Pacquiao? Mayweather? Other? Don't forget to explain why you would have fighter A. or B. as #1.
Yahoo! Sports: Mayweather
BoxingScene: Pacquiao
ESPN: Mayweather
The Ring: Pacquiao
Toss up between Pac and Floyd. Floyd has looked better while Pac has been fighting at more than twice the rate and against more challenging opponent (JMM > Ortiz, Mosley = Mosley, Marg > vacation).
floyd has'nt done anything to steal the throne from pac, nothing!...
the ortiz win was trash given how it ended...pac outperfromed him vs shane.. pac beat the fighters floyd should've fought in margo and cotto..etc..
Yeah just like Pac dominated Marquez in their last tango. Ortiz win is better then Margs or ***** asss clottey regardless of how he got the dub and I cant stand Floyds antics outside the ring but inside you know what it is. Oh and Floyd embarrassed Marquez
Niether Klitchko has done more than Manny. Martinez depends on how you rate Williams and Pavlik. Obviously now both wins are soso. Mayweather and Ward yes.
I see there is an argument however, the Klits as bad as the devision is right now are beating everyone and fighting everyone to the point that no one is left. They are not manipulating the system like Pac. Pac hasn't done a damn thing since beating Cotto years ago. I would agree if you said the same about the Klits but they didn't have a choice. Pac did and he chose to select the fighters he did WHEN he did.
Martinez is THE MW champion. He's losing his momentum fast but he's still the best and beats anyone from JMW to MW right now. I would recommend him either fight Mayweather at MW or move up to SMW to better his position in the P4P rating.
Ward imo has a better justification to be #1 so it's actually a toss up for the #1 spot. I wouldn't even talk about Pac unless we were at the bottom part of the P4P list.
Its Mayweather!
People put Pacquiao #1 out of RESENTMENT TOWARDS MAYWEATHER! Of course they would never admit that because they don't want to lose credibility but when Mayweather is active...HE IS #1 P4P LIKE HIM OR NOT!
Just like they give Pacquiao Fighter of the Year and Roach Trainer of the year all those years...OUT OF RESENTMENT TOWARDS MAYWEATHER...but yet these are the same people in the media when asked who would win between Mayweather vs Pacquiao...99% of them pick Mayweather lol :nonono:
Mayweather, Ward, JMM, Martinez, Hopkins and Klit have all done more than Pac has in the past few years.
Pac is living off his 2009 catchweight fight over Cotto. It's 2012, fighting Clottey, Margarito and Mosley does not warrant a #1 spot.

laughable as it sounds, in all honesty, it's Wlad
yeah, we all know HW sucks balls right now
but Wlad kicks more ass in his division than anyone else does in theirs
that's what p4p is supposed to be about
by that criteria, the only guy who comes close to Wlad is Ward
Wlad would be a good choice. But the HW division is full of too many fat slobs to give him credit. David Gaye ran like a biach and showed his toe. Chisora is entertaining but isn't very good and got glassed.
I don't have a clear #1 p4p in mind. I would list Andre Ward as my #1p4p. Tough list to make with vacations, controversial decisions and such. Andre Ward is the only one smashing great opposition at the moment.
#1 Andre Ward
#2 Manny Pacquiao
#3 Sergio Martinez
#4 Floyd Mayweather
#5 Juan Manuel Marquez.
Martinez has fought overrated competition with undefeated records.
Mayweather retiring, going on vacations and sucker punching doesn't get him the #1 p4p spot.
Cant' give Pac the #1 p4p spot either with the lackluster performances against Mosley and the controversial decision against Marquez. Floyd seems to want to fight Pac since he's been slipping a bit lately.
Marquez lost to Mayweather and technically lost to Pac. I thought it was very close; scored the third fight to Marquez. Can't give the p4p#1 spot to Marquez either.
I agree with Jack Napier, it's Wladimir Klitschko. Let's see Mayweather or Pacquiao unify the WW division like that. Or any other division they are going to fight in. I picked Mayweather already though because he has dominated every opponent he's face in the last couple of years. Manny has only struggled with Marquez and being his last fight it bumps him down a notch in my opinion.
1. Marquez
2. Mayweather
3. Pacquiao
4. Donaire
5. Ward
6. Martinez
7. Froch
8. Bradley
9. Bute
10. John
