Should Pacquiao be ranked ahead of PBF in P4P ranks?

[wmute]

Pac is a bull**** champ!!! haha!!

actually raheem was the wbc intercontinental/international/bull**** lightweight champ after his fight with morales.

pacman was the wbc intercontinental/international/bull**** superfeatherwieght champ after he fought velazquez. or after morales 2? not sure

he is a prick, no doubt about that. but one should watch fighters in the ring not out of the ring.

There are two school of thoughts bro. There are those peeps who thinks that floyd, as skillful as he is, is shooing away ordinary boxing fans with his fighting style and when confronted by a legit man (read: larry lol) about it in front of the whole world, we all know what happened. LOL!

Mayweather's resume would be a lot better if Hatton, Mosley, and Cotto didn't duck him and if Judah had beaten Baldomir. Floyd has been trying to make fights with everyone that matters at 140 and 147 and no one would step up until now that DLH did...

Yea and if my mom had a **** she'd be my Dad. i'm tired of hearing this if everyone wasn't ducking Floyd bull****. Floyd has been fighting hand picked opponents for the last few years. It is hard for me to consider someone P4P when he fight opponents that have no real shot or pose no threat to him. Floyd fans want to sat "well he beat the undisputed welter champ". SO what? He beat Baldomir which was nothing more than a journeyman fighter that got his fifteen minutes of fame. All he did was what he was suppose to do. He didn't win impressively. He won a decision over Baldomir. A limited flat footed slow fighter that had already had nine losses. Pac fighting Marquez alone is technically better than anyone Floyd has ever faced, not to mention Morales in the first fight was still very good and proved in the first fight. Pac continuosly takes on elite competition and wins impressively. P4P is about level of competition and the way you perform against them. P4P isn't about who is the most skilled fighter. What good is all that skill when your not testing it against the elite fighters of the sport.

i thought p4p was about winning not exciting crowds,

otherwise gatti should be considered an all time great (I am not comparing in any way a top fighter like pacman to gatti, I am just pointing out the absurdity of the idea).

I'm not even interested about those belts and I don't know if popo won that bull**** belt over raheem when they fought. Pacman's belt is a bull**** belt so who cares really? Only team pinoy!! haha!!!

That's one school of thought bro and the other was conceived by floyd haters. haha!!

I dont care either

that was in answer to the other guy who suggested raheem-morales should have been at 130 but morales did not make the weight, which was bull****

btw it is a disturbing thing that barrera had no belt when he fought pacman.

it is even more disturbing that some pacman haters used that as an argument against pacman.

the night he beat barrera, pacman was THE man at 126. end of the story

Who really cares what some idiots on Boxingscene thinks, have this poll on ESPN and I bet PBF will win this poll by 70%.

I love Pac but I'm not stipid!

P4P is really for who is the best fighter in the world, with the best skills and his name is PBF, I will have a tough time to put Pac in the top 10 when it comes to skills!

[Tuggers1986]

Pacquiao had the better year in 2006 but Floyd is still the better boxer. End of.

actually p4p is not just about skills: it is about everything except size.

skills are typically the one attribute a fighter carries through weight, and that is why they are usually very relevant.

but some fighters manage to move up in weight mostly based on their natural abilities.

as an example roy jones was not technically sound as mayweather or toney, but he managed to succesfully move up in weight because of his reflexes, speed (both almost inhuman, i would say) and impressive power (which wasnt as impressive at 175 of course, but how many middleweights carry one punch ko power to light heavy?)
