    Is Pacquiao being P4P number one based on beating a Fringe Opponent?

    I see a lot of people Going wild over this win. Remember who David Diaz is. Lucky against Santa Cruz and Lucky against Morales. Anyways... Now with Mayweather being retired he takes the thrown as P4P number 1. He imo is the best p4p 1 fighter in the world but think about it. It is weird.

    Beats Barrera great win. Beats a shot Barrera, loses to what was left of a prime morales, Beats the shot morales two more times. Then has two arguable losses to Marquez. I think Pacman won the 1st fight only due to knockdowns but not the 2nd. Anyways i think he still has a lot to do for me like fight a legit fighter whos in his prime.

              No. It's cummulative. Pacquiao was already high on all pound for pound lists - he retired Barrera, then we saw him rematch Marquez - a very good fighter- and win a close decision. Then, he beat the **** out of a lightweight champion, moving up in weight, and regardless of what you think of him. It establishes him as pound for pound best in Floyd's absence if you ask me.

                The hate...

                A win is a win son. He had a belt.

                Just like Floyd fought Baldimor.

                Manny Pacman is P4P#1.

                Hands down. That's it.

                  P4P isn't just about who you beat but HOW you beat them.

                    Who said he lost? You a fan. The fights were a draw and a split decision win over JMM. Do we have to discuss this again. You know, the media have JMM winning but said that it was a closed fight that could have gone either way. The win by Pac was not a robbery. They also said that the judges saw it the way they call it and the decision must be stand and respected. Even the fans say the same thing, not a robbery. Lets not forget about that lone judge in the 1st fight who said he made a mistake on the 1st round. Correct that mistake and guess who would have won by split decision.
