However, Floyd is not the P4P best in the world. So beating him, doesn't make you the P4P best in the world.
Is Jeff Horn considered a top P4P fighter for beating Manny? Even though Manny was the big favourite? No. Because we all know Manny is older.... and not what he once was.
This is the same situation. Floyd is the favourite because of his past achievements. But on the night, nobody knows what Floyd has left. And nobody in boxing would class Floyd as the best boxer on the planet now. Ergo, beating him doesn't make you the best... no matter if you're favourite to or not.
