has there ever been a p4p #1 who fights unranked contenders the whole time?

[jrosales13]

Doesn't matter what i think, he was ranked in the top 10 by the 3 major organisations. Even if they did rank other champs he would be in the top 10 in all 3 still.

No respectable ranking had Marg or Frazier ranked in the top 10.

So do you consider them rank fighters?

When has the major organizations been respectable/credible?

[Rick Grimes]

Exactly.

Mitchell was not a top 10 WW at the time. Just like Marg wasn't a top 10 JMW or Richard Frazier wasn't a top 10 LHW at the time Roy fought him. They were not rank opponents. Didn't stop for sanctioning bodies in ranking them.

Why would anybody bring up sanctioning body as a credible source is beyond me.

Did boxingscene have a ranking system in late 2005?

Neither do I.

It's really not a matter of opinion. Mitchell wasn't ranked in the top 10 by ANY credible ranking. Certinaly not The Ring Magazine.

He may have been by the bull**** sactionaing bodies. But who takes any notice of those? No one, because they're dumb.

But yeah, Mitchell wasn't ranked. I think that's clear considering it was his 2nd fight at Welter coming off a tuneup of his own.

No respectable ranking had Marg or Frazier ranked in the top 10.

So do you consider them rank fighters?

Pacquiao has been fighting hall of famers since touching shores in America.

[Pullcounter]

has there ever been a p4p #1 who fights unranked contenders the whole time? is pacquiao the 1st...yea i know *******s will google up and find roy jones...but guess what he was hanging round a dead divison...the only guy he couldve fought but didnt was the german guy who didnt want to leave dooshland....pacquiao has the option to fight mayweather berto martinez but chooses to fight washed up legends coming of losses draws or unimpressive wins....first time ever someone has disgraced the throne that badly...

Floyd Mayweather came first before Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather came first before Pacquiao

You could never say Floyd ducked and dodged. He was calling out De la Hoya and Mosley at the peaks of their careers and he was a LW. When he got his crack at them he spanked them both. The only fight that maybe could have happened was a fight eith Cotto but it wasnt a must have fight.

You could say Floyd ducked and dodged Margarito and/or Johnston.

Matter fact I think he dodged both of them more so than Cotto.

And, calling out Oscar really means nothing. Who wouldn't want to fight Oscar, unless your name is Winky Wright of course.

What's with all the ******ed Pac hate threads from the op? Is it because Pac is a P4P king that is not a black American or something?
