Other than Pac....

[fightfan_79]

Have there been any other #1 p4p fighters, past/present, that have been more sought after by fighters in divisions lower/higher?

Pac is being called out by Bantamweights (Darchiniyan), all the way up to Middleweights (Martinez)

Floyd was called out by JMM (Lightweight), and if you can call it being called out, by Martinez (Middleweight)

Don't ever re-call RJJ (in his prime) being called out by any Middleweights or below.....

Don't re-call B-Hop (in his prime) getting called out by anyone less than a Middleweight (Jermain Taylor)

Don't recall Mosley being called out....

Too young to remember Hagler, JCC Sr., Sweet Pea, DLH getting called out on their #1 statuses....

Or is the automatic assumption that once you are p4p #1, that is greater than any belt that you can have? Or have the times just changed to fighters strive to be on this "mythical list" than actually clearing out divisions?
And yes this includes Manny....he hasn't stayed put in one division (except for SFW and WW) for more than 4-5 fights......

Just wanted to get everyone's take on this issue.....HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!!

doest it really matter? if Pac is going to fight any of them its going to be at welter weight.



unless they are at WW of course

Vic called out Pac?

And everyone calls out Pac because they want that big payday. It's kind of a no-brainer there.

I guess this just means that fighters see more holes in Pac's game than other P4P's!

No it shouldn't matter.....but unfortunately, to fighters IT DOES matter....you don't see anyone calling out Ward, who in my opinion should be ranked #2 over Martinez....he has proven he can fight against ANY style....Martinez has as well, but let's be honest, Ward has much better "boxing skill" than Martinez....B-Hop should also be ranked higher than Martinez....at his age taking out the younger cats, champs at that, he should be #3

Point is fighters calling out Pac left and right for nothing more than the actual payday....not the actual fight itself.....whereas back in the days....being the #1 fighter diddn't really generate the huge amounts of money as it does today

Exactly....BUT, there's paydays involved with Floyd...

[Toney Loc]

Vic also called out Jermain Taylor.

[Seleção No. 13]

Vic just said it was a dream of his to keep moving up until he fights Manny.

De La Hoya, and it's not even close.
