Mayweather only moves down through inactivity, that's the only reason Pac got the #1 spot.

No **** the better option would have been Pacquiao, as I clearly stated. This was the stage in the negotiations where Mayweather had given into all of Manny's demands and had the contract signed, while Manny refused the 14 day cutoff and went to fight Clottey (haha). So then he went on to fight Mosley.
Nice attempt at trying to frame that fight to discredit Floyd's destruction of SSM. "a 40 year old who was inactive for 18 months".
He was 38, not 40, and was the number 1 welterweight at the time and highest on EVERYONES p4p list other than Pacquiao. So please tell me who would have been a better opponent at that stage?
And he fought Marquez, who Pacman went life and death with for 24 rounds, as a TUNE UP at a catch weight.Comment

Makes sense to me.
You guessed it...
Hits: When Mayweather, who has won titles in five weight classes, actually fights, he is one of the best in boxing history. There is still a chance (remote as it might seem these days) that he will wake up and decide to challenge himself and give fans around the world what they want -- the mother of all showdowns against Manny Pacquiao.
Misses: Mayweather is a part-time fighter who is closing in on a year of inactivity, which soon will mean an exit from these rankings. The past few years of his career have been very disappointing because he fights so rarely, and when he does, the fights aren't against the best that boxing has to offer.

He fought Marquez at WW, at a catchweight that he didn't even honor which was a B*TCH move against a blown up lightweight. And his biggest win of his career (at least at WW) is now considered a garbage fight for Manny, not even a tuneup, just one year later.
Do we really need to compare who did better against common opponents? DLH SD vs DLH **** and surrender, Hatton 10th d KO (at WW) vs Hatton 2nd rd KO (at 140), and Mosley will be added to that in a few weeks.
Fact is Floyd doesn't want to fight, only stepped in the ring 2X in 4 years. There's no reason he should be ranked, especially when he's made no indication he plans on fighting again. In his own words, he's taking 'a couple of years' off. He shouldn't be on any list until he has a fight lined up and the result is known.
Oh right, almost forgot... Mayweather-Martinez in the fall of 2010 in Dubai was an instant classic. I guess that's good enough for the #1 spot

Rankings are just where they should be.. for the most part.Comment

no, more lies again. he was not in the welterweight rankings or p4p rankings because he was inactive for more than a year
lol at tune up excuse, he fought marquez because he didnt want to fight a top welter
a prime pac, mosley, cotto, margo and kosta at 140 would have beaten the living hell out of him
as long as he has nut huggers like you making excuses for his pathetic fights, he will keep doing it
you dont know **** about boxing, you are a disgrace of a fan excusing the bull**** he has done
oh and yes, the pac vs mosley fight is also a big pile of bull****
i aint a fan of either, i call them out on what they have done, i aint a nut hugger like you. oh and clottey was a damn good win, for me his best win against a ww because he beat cotto in my eyes. clottey is a good fighter, the very definition of a high risk low reward fighter, very underrated.
if floyd fought marquez at 130, he would have gone life and death with him as well, in fact he would have gotten his ass whooped. a prime marquez against a prime mayweather at 130 takes floyd out. a prime morales, cotto an margarito also take out floyd at their respective weight classesComment

Jesus what is it with *******s and their revisionist history? Hatton won a welterweight title and was undefeated when Floyd KO'd him.He fought Marquez at WW, at a catchweight that he didn't even honor which was a B*TCH move against a blown up lightweight. And his biggest win of his career (at least at WW) is now considered a garbage fight for Manny, not even a tuneup, just one year later.

Mayweather fought DLH at 154 for a legit title (not a vacant catchweight belt). Your boy Pacquiao fought a f****** 147 emaciated version of De La Hoya who had to be medically rehydrated. (little known fact, Pacquiao actually outweighed Oscar on FIGHT NIGHT).
And the Mosley/pacquiao fight is considered garbage because Floyd already had his way with him. Mosley came begging to roach on multiple occasions for a pacman fight, and he was willing to go as low as something ridiculous like 142 or 140 and he still had Team Pacman all shook. Only after Mosley looked bad in his last two fights was Manny willing to fight him.Comment
