and floyd decides to come out of retirement. who is pfp #1?

just because oscar beats pacquiao suddenly he is the number 1 p4p. why? the obvious is stated that oscar is the bigger man fighting a smaller opponent. plus not all his last fights were exciting. and why will floyd be number one again when he was number 1 p4p he never gave a exciting fight.

hold up, I'm asking the questions.

Assuming Pacquiao is No.1, if Oscar beats him, he becomes No.1 in most people's eyes, no?

or will Calzaghe take that slot after fighting Jones?

what credit will calzaghe get if he defeats jones. jones has been washed up a long time ago. unless calzaghe defeats pavlik then he gets the number 1 spot.

all right, you clearly have many preconceptions about all this.

If oscar beats pacquiao, who has the no.1 slot?

in fact, inyour opinion, who has it now?

if/when oscar beats manny, i think Calzaghe takes the spot...even if Floyd comes back, he's gonna need at least one fight before we give him his rightful ranking...

you can't give it to oscar...his recent record reads something like 'loss, win, loss, win, loss'....and he's basically doing something (beating many) that's already expected....

BUT, if manny wins, it solidifies HIS claim to that rank...regardless of how impressive Calzaghe looks against Roy

fair point, but Hatton seems to think Oscar would be pfp #1 if he beats Pacquiao. I guess if the best agrees to fight you and he loses to you, then you become the best. Certainly HBO will have it that way.

i take it Ricky has been downing a few pints and is wishfully thinking that for Oscar in case he gets him next year...

giving Oscar that # 1 ranking will totally diminish The Rings p4p value IMO...plus the stench of having your magazine's owner AT the top of those ratings is just bad pr

I seen him saying it on his new chat show, seemed quite serious. You could tell he didn't want to go up to Welter again but he reckoned it was a shot at the pfp #1

I guess he might be wrong.

depends how much hype the fight gets, they could justify it if it dominates the media

Forrest beating Mosley twice when Mosley was P4P #1 did not get him the #1 spot.

Taylor beating Hopkins twice when Hopkins was P4P #1 did not get him the #1 spot.

There is no way ODLH jumps to #1 with a win.

It would be Mayweather I think... I guess Calzaghe or Marquez might sneak in, but... the ODLH win would definitely skyrocket in terms of importance for Mayweather I think, so I think that would keep Mayweather on top.
