FightFan.com moves Pacquiao to Pound-for-Pound no. 1!
By FightFan.com Staff (08-Jun-2008)
Manny Pacquiao now no. 1 in FightFan.com's pound-for-pound rankings!
With Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s announced retirement, FightFan.com has elevated former no. 2 ranked Manny Pacquiao to the number one pound-for-pound fighter in all of boxing. Pacquiao, who will fight for the 135 pound title later this month after debuting at 106 pounds in 1995, has consistently been fighting the sport’s top fighters since 2003. He has dominated from super bantamweight to super featherweight. Pacquiao’s lengthy path through the best fighters in three different divisions coupled with his emphatic stoppage victories over legendary fighters like Marco Antonio Barrera and Eric Morlaes have solidified the Filipino terror’s place atop of FightFan.com’s pound-for-pound list. While other top choice Joe Calzaghe has had quite a run in the last two years, he simply does not stack up to boxing’s most electrifying sensation in Manny ‘The Pacman’ Pacquiao.
