P4P #1 Re-Vote

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Its simple, floyd has the momentum, pac also got a momentum after Cotto fight.

They both fought once this spring.

Pac fought Clottey

Floyd fought Mosley.

They both fought once this spring.

Pac fought Clottey

Floyd fought Mosley.

Before that he fought Cotto, Hatton, Oscar, Diaz.. All dominating performance. So yeah he has momentum on his side too.

Honestly, both of there credentials are incredible (neither fighter being that far behind or ahead of each other), it's hard to just pick one over the other; when both fighters have established themselves as the best of there ERA. I don't have a problem with either of them being P4P #1, but the only real way to decide who is undisputedly the P4P best fighter in the world, is to have a clash between this ERA's top two fighters (only then will you have a clear cut anwser). That being said... My answer would have to be neutral (there both deserving IMO).

[Chadmack]

the ring still list pac as p4p #1...
damn you Pac and Floyd!!!!! just settle it already and ****in fight! give us fans what we want to see! win, lose or draw, both of you deserve the props for being the top guys in this sport!

I think we're all getting a little ahead of ourselves with putting Mayweather up there--

actually, never mind. Now that I think about it. You can make a case for both. It's just that I think Pacquiao edges him by a smidge.

Mayweather decisions 154 Oscar>Pacquiao TKO8 147 Oscar


Mayweather TKO10 147 Hatton < Pacquiao KO2 140 Hatton


Mayweather decisions Márquez < Pacquiao TKO12 145 Cotto



Mayweather decisions Mosley>Pacquiao decisions Clottey

Between those four pairings, Mayweather's best wins were, in my opinion, Oscar and Shane. The fight against Oscar was statistically one-sided, but Oscar actually tried to box with him and gave him some fits, at least watching the fight it seemed that way. Not sure where Oscar was ranked at 154 at the time, though. The significance of it was that Mayweather added another belt (and a new weight class) to his long line of weight class dominations.

Then you have Mayweather over Mosley. Mayweather took on WW #1 and
p4p #3. He took on a legitimate threat, a real 147 pounder who could hit and had speed, Mayweather got hurt, recuperated and then put on a clinic by actually STALKING the guy. How much more could you ask from him? This was a big win.

On the other hand, you have Hatton being knocked out in 2 rounds by Pacquiao. Although many of us had Pacquiao as the favorite, nobody actually expected such a devastating result, especially at Hatton's weight class. Here there were no excuses, Hatton was at 140 and got knocked out. He wasn't damaged goods after Mayweather, he just got read by a devastating southpaw named Manny Pacquiao. That is all.

Then you have Pacquiao's win over Cotto. My only gripe with it, perhaps because of nationality, was that it was contracted two pounds under the 147 pounds. Regardless, Manny put on a spectacular performance over one of the top welterweights. Pacquiao got tagged, showed his chin, stayed on the ropes, weathered the storm, and annihilated Cotto over the course of 11 and a half rounds.

So, what do you say? Do you prefer Mayweather's finesse over a healthy Oscar and recuperative rally against Shane or do you prefer Pacquiao's destructive results over Hatton and Cotto?

I'm a guy who enjoys Mayweather and I'd probably pick him when the fight is signed, but I don't see how Mayweather is suddenly #1 with his recent win. It was a huge win, but Cotto/Hatton being mauled by Pacquiao is still something that I haven't been able to fathom. I have Mayweather in 2nd, but it's a very tight, very close second. He's right on Pacquiao's heels. I still understand if someone puts Mayweather in the top spot, though. These two guys are in a class of their own.

I truly hope this fight comes to pass because everybody will be watching...EVERYBODY!!!

[Amazinger]

Who deserves the true #1 P4P Spot?

Pacquiao........Floyd has not beaten him yet .....And since returning from retirement Floyd should not have been on P4P list.

400+ votes... wow.

you're aware that people are still high on the floyd victory right?

make this poll after a pac fight and the results will be reversed (and vice-versa obviously).
