If Mr Vacationer only fought five more times in the last five years, he would have been defeated in five of those fights. The guy just doesn't deserve all these attention and the money that go with it.
    Even Floyd would wonder about it.

      Pac should be #1 and it isn't even close

      Cotto beat floyd but got robbed

      Ward beat Dawson who wasn't at his proper weight and was overrated to being with

      Martinez beat JCC JR who is a nothing more than a green prospect and almost got KTFO in the last round

      Pac is 1

      Ward or Donaire should be 2

        Pac is no longer what he used to be when he fought against Cotto. So, its reasonable that Pac goes down in rating and performance. Happens to boxers when they get older and suffers wear and tear of years in boxing.

        I do agree that he is no longer a top 3 P4P. But on the ESPN's list, i disagree with it overall the rankings. Mayweather doesn't deserved #1, only fights once a year.

        Top 3 should be Ward, Donaire, and Martinez. All this 3 has been fighting top 10 fighters in their weight division. Except with the Ward-Dawson fight but deserved credit even if at a catch weight.

        The Klitschko brothers, Bradley, and Cotto doesn't deserved to be in there.

          The true p4p list

          1. Manny
          2. Ward
          3. Sergio
          4. Floyd
          5. Donaire
          6. JMM
          7. Wlad
          8. Gamboa
          9. Mares
          10. Froch

          That's about as comprehensive a list as you'll find. Unlike most fans I do not ignore the little guys and give them respect for their talent.

            Manny lost to Marquez so I have him at 5

              I voted that Pacquiao being ranked #4 is about right for now. I have Donaire #1 Ward #2,Mayweather #3 Pacquiao #4 Martinez #5 and Marquez #6. I dropped Pacquiao from #1 to #4 not because I thought he lost to either Marquez or Bradley. I thought he clearly beat Bradley by a wide margin and barely beat Marquez. I dropped him because he did not KO Bradley and beat Marquez clearly. He looked way off in both fights and did not perform like the #1 pfp. guy should perform. Ward and Donaire have been winning big over top guys for a while now. I think all the top guys are very close and a good fight or a bad fight by any of them could change where I rank them. If Pacquiao shows his old form and beats Marquez by a wide margin then I will return him to the #1 spot.

                This right here is a bunch of gibberish, no offense. Your not taking into account that Bradley was off for 10 months due to promotional issues, then he fought a completely faded Casamayor in his comeback fight, beating Manny wouldn't have warranted Top 5, let alone his spot as you stated.

                  I don't agree with ESPN's P4P ranking of Pac. They have him way too high.

                    Bias to what exactly? I don't give a **** about Pacquiao and Mayweather.

                    JMM didn't belong above 135 and moving up to take that fight, people expected him to get KO'd....he instead should have won. Bradley also fought one time at 147, before moving back to 140 for his next two. Yeah he called people out, but he still wasn;t a 147lb fighter.

                    Those two guys were out of their weight classes and JMM still clearly won. #4 is correct.

                      Maybe Pac has set the bar to high, maybe the judges were expecting Pacquiao to be much more dominate, like numerous knockdowns again Bradley and that's why they scored it for Bradley, the bar was set so high by Pacquiao and he did not reach it.
                      No. Judges cant base one fight on a fighter past fights. Bradley made the fight awqward and that is why he stole a few rounds. He should never have to the Decision. But either way Bradley has come off worse! No one wants to fight the guy! He 'beat' Manny and now hes having to take a step down in opposition? Justice is served!
