Boxing fans love to argue over P4P lists. Despite begin completely subjective, these lists are quite useful in promotion of the sport. Most fans and journalists agree (or agreed...) that Pacquiao and Mayweather are the #1 and #2 (or vice-versa) fighters in the world, pound for pound.
However, with Manny fighting what many call "soft touches" within the confines of Top Rank's stable and Floyd remaining largely inactive (in May it will be a year since the Mosley fight), have other fighters usurped Pacquiao and Mayweather on these mythical lists?
Nonito Donaire is coming off a knockout of very highly regarded unified bantamweight title-est Fernando Montiel and top five former title-est Sidorenko.
Sergio Martinez is coming off a dominating performance of almost universally #1 ranked 154lb'er Dzinziruk and an explosive revenge knockout of controversial conqueror and highly regarded Paul Williams.
The only other fighter consistent enough to be ranked within most people's top 5 P4P is the great Juan Manuel Marquez, whose only blemish since the controversial split decision loss to Pacquiao is a shut-out loss against Mayweather two weight classes above his fighting weight.

I took this from Ringnews24 , the writer asks some good questions. I myself thinks Mayweather has dropped out the top 2 as hes inactive.
My top 5 would be as follows
1. Pacquiao
2. Donaire
3. Marquez
4. Martinez
5. Mayweather (due to being inactive)
whos your top 5?
