Will Mayweather be #1 POUND FOR POUND if he beat Ortiz later?

[AntDawg]

It depends on the person. P4P is only an opinion.

[sugersean15]

i consider him #1 p4p

[sugersean15]

Floyd already is.

good boy now your starting to get it

[Larry the boss]

you gotta beat the best to be the best..no 1 has ever beat Floyd

[Wreckless]

He might be moved up to 3rd behind Martinez.

that puto aint winning

[Wreckless]

Ortiz may not win on the scorecards, but if he's even competitive, it'll be a great fight for everyone.

[sdcluser]

Probably be #2 or #3 if he beats Ortiz by UD. A early KO before 9 rd which is unlikely might propel him to #1. But most likely #2.

Really depends on the matter he beats Ortiz.

I'm one of the few here that defend Mayweather without going overboard.

But objectively speaking, even if he HASN'T lost, I don't see how you can make him pound-for-pound #1 after this fight. He can't keep dropping off the charts after a year of inactivity/retirement, beat a big name opponent and jump to #1.

The difference between Ortiz and Mosley is that WHEN Mayweather fought Mosley, Mosley was #3 or #4 pound-for-pound. Ortiz is not even in the top ten.

He might get up there in 5 or 4 pound-for-pound because of how incredibly dominating he looks, but aside from that...I don't think you can establish him as #1. Maybe #3 at best after/if he wins...

Let's try to keep this in perspective guys...

he already is..no 1 ever beat him to take his crown

And who did Floyd beat to take the crown from? I don't remember him beating Roy Jones... If you lose or if you don't fight,... you lose the right to be #1. You got to be active to be #1.
