If Mayweather never retired, would he or Pacquiao be p4p #1?

IF lets say mayweather chose to fight once in 2008 and lets say he fought Miguel Cotto and beat him in a pretty close but comfortable decision win and manny did exactly what he did this year, beating marquez, diaz and oscar. Would Floyd remain #1 or would have pacman overtake that spot??

Tough to say.

Mayweather would have lost to Cotto and Cotto might be considered a candidate for P4P best, since Cotto might not have faced Margarito if he faced Mayweather this year. Pacquiao still bests Cotto's accomplishment though and the P4P might have looked like this: Pacman, Cotto, Mayweather, Marquez and Calzaghe.

Yes he would still be #1. he would probably #1 until he lost.

Of course we'll never know until we see them in the ring. But definitely, Cotto's got more tools than Baldomir, Hatton and Castillo to try to beat Mayweather with.

I agree he'd still be on top unless he lost.

and mayweather is 10 times the fighter margo is......but cotto got ko'd by him right

[LetsgetSAVAGE]

Id have to say Mayweather would still be on top.
Mayweather may be ****y, arrogant and all about himself.
But he is one hell of a fighter, and no one can deny that.
IF he did fight Pac-man, Mayweather would have to change his game up. Turn up the agression. But all in all I love both of them and that would be a fight long remembered.

If Mayweather was still fighting and he beat Cotto, then he would be ranked #1. No doubt.
