    Ring Editor Says Pacquiao Can Be No.1

    The respected editor of Ring Magazine, regarded as the “Bible” of boxing believes that Filipino ring idol Manny Pacquiao “may very well become number one” in the Ring pound-for-pound rankings “if he looks good in his next fight.”

    I don't see how anyone could argue a win against someone like Soto is enough to make Pac #1 P4P. Soto is a good fighter, but his resume is weak. He is the Margarito of the jr. lightweights. What's his best win? Rocky Juarez? Kevin Kelley? He barely beat an old Kelley. He's only ranked #8 by the Ring.

    The only way Pac would move over Mayweather is with a dominant win over JMM. No way a win over Soto is enough when Mayweather just beat DLH. Ridiculous...

      An impressive win over Soto or Marquez could definetly get him there.

      But i dont think he comes close to beating Marquez, and i think Soto could beat him as well

        How can he be p4p #1 when he's not even the best in his division?

            How can a guy be #1 with multiple losses and a draw on his resume? The Ring is a joke. I cant believe that everyone acts like there the Gospel. There basically no different then a fan or another boxing writer. Why does everyone act like there opinion means the most? I also think alot of people forget how crooked & corrupt that the Ring use to be. They were always in trouble and getting blasted on but now people act like there the main source? Its a joke.

            People dont give Floyd nearly enough credit for beating these huge guys that are 20 pounds bigger then him and are on a Elite level. There sweating Pac's win over EM like Morales didnt just get shut out in a 12 round fight vs sorry ass Raheem. EM is washed up and there acting like he did something. Pac comes into the ring weighing 140 pounds? He was only a couple of pounds shorter then what Floyd weighed when he was fighting at 140 and he was only 8 pounds lower then Floyd just fought at for 154. Its a joke. Let Pac step into a ring with a good fighter who has 20 pounds on him and we'll see what happeneds.

            P4P is supposed to be about who would win if these guys were basically the same size. There is no way that Pac would beat Floyd with that one demensional ****. Sure its exciting but so what? I cant believe even the ring is bringing up dumb **** like that. Its a joke. It took Floyd so long to get to #! because people hate him so much and theyve been trying to take him away ever since. No one moved Hopkins when he was boring and no one moved RJ when he was throwing pitty pat **** and fighting bums. They love guys like Pac who were just like other #1 guys in Tito & Shane. Look how they got exposed. You want excitment or the more complete fighter who will win that matchup every time?

              winky get no respect pac gets credit from all the writers because exciting he lost to a old morals in there first fight alot of peole think he lost to marquez in there first fight. And when ever there a debate about who pac should fight my people favor marquez and joan guzman over him, How could he be number one when people dont consider him the best in his own divison

                Pacman will ko Soto he is to slow and the Marquez fight will be a war.

                  i dont see how floyd can be ranked number one if he runs from so many fighters and jumps devishions so he doesnt have to fight the best fighters in that divishion. not only that but he runs each and every fight that he is in. Some of the fighters he has ran from and will not fight....margarito, hatton, Tszyu. Just to name a few.
