I think everyone can agree he is no longer number one. After seeing the way he got pushed by a faded Cotto I think he would have got stopped back in 2007.
Has Mayweather lost his p4p spot?

No one has done enough to pass him. As for Cotto, how do u know how much the Floyd fight took out of him? Trout is also a lot bigger and he boxed all night. Floyd went toe to toe. The Trout fight does nothin to drop Floyd imo but at the same time I don't think people fully care about p4p all that much anymoreComment

it's funny how easy people forget about the polls back in 07-08...over 40% of this board including numerous boxing critics believed cotto could stop floyd...back in the day cotto was perceived as a beast who kept sharpening up on his boxing skills and got better with every fight now that he's got 4 losses people forget about all that
I don't even rank marquez in the top 3 as he's shown no indication of being able to beat top fighters with the sheer exception of pacquiao...if he'd beat someone like bradley or khan back when he had two belts I'd rank him #2 but he never wanted to fight khan and doesn't want to fight bradley either
right now for me it's: 1. ward, 2. floyd, 3. martinez
ward is #1 because in the last 3 years he's faced and beaten better opposition than floyd (won the lineal 168 title and cleaned up the division followed by beating the lineal 175 champion)...past accomplishments will only hold to a certain point if ur opposition is weaker and ortiz, mosley and cotto simply aren't as good a wins as kessler, froch and dawsonComment

i have always been of the opinion that you have to lose the title by losing...but Mayweather is partially retired so it's hard to use that line of thinking with him.
Ward is my number one. In fact, Ward is as dominant as Floyd USED to be.Comment
