Pacquiao not only ranked higher P4P than Mayweather, now ranked higher at 147 too....

[Dave Rado]

Pac should be rank #1 at WW, he is the #1 contender. Floyd should not even be rank #2.... Because, he is the lineal champ.

The Ring don't consider that he's the lineal champ.

I know they don't... But, they should. However, is not the first time they have made that mistake.

Jones and Dariusz at LHW, for a long time they didn't recognize a real champ at Flyweight. While the lineage dated back since the 70's with Miguel Canto.

Why should anyone be surprise by this? Everyone knows that Manny is the media's Golden Boy.

Maybe because Floyd is a tool?a wife beater?and he fought twice in 3 years?

[IronDanHamza]

Pacqiauo beats Margarito at 150 and gets ranked ahead of the Lineal Champ at a different weight class It gets better and better.

it's not a mistake by ring.

it's how their system works.


some people think mosley was lineal champ because he beat marg who beat cotto.

ring didn't give marg-cotto winner because floyd was the ring champ at the time.

so marg and mosley never became ring champ because of floyd.

Pacquiao fights a 154 (150) fight and he moves up in Ring Magazine's 147 Rankings over Mayweather.

Only Pacquiao can move up in a division after he has a fight outside that division.

eaner , garcia should have stopped it.

marg looked like the old 2008 147 marg imo.

he would still be tough for a lot of 147-154 fighters.

but now i don't know how much the pac fight took out of him. he took a ton of punishment.

The winner of Marg-Cotto should have never even been for the ring title even if Floyd was NOT the champ. Which I think he had already retired which would of made it vacant but I don't remember.

However, if it was vacant it would not have been for the title cuz Cotto was #1 and Marg was like rank#4. So #1 and #4 can't fight for the vacant title...

However, when Marg and Shane fought. Marg was rank #1 and Shane was rank #3. Cotto was rank #2. The #1 had just beat the #2 guy and was facing the #3 the guy. So by all means that fight should Marg-Shane should have been for the vacant title. But, the ring gave a BS reason why it wasn't.

***in Tua, you really love to get the *****s worked up

[The Big Dunn]

With a guarantee of $15 mil plus ppv I say they still lead to floyd because if Manny can "only" make $15 mil guarantee fighting Marg in Texas and floyd is guaranteed $25 mil for Shane in Vegas, amnny still has a way to go.

Besides earner, you know this as well as anyone on this site, that 43k prob wont generate as much as the 15k floyd and Shane had (even with open seats).
