Top 50
- Top 3 are wrong! 1. Sergio Martinez cuz he doesnt duck anyone, including Paul Williams! I'm sorry, but I think he would beat the PAC MAN and Floyd without a doubt. Sergio can move down to 154 and they would avoid him. I also think they would avoid Paul Williams, he could make 154 too!

p4p list
- I guess if you lure a career featherweight boxer then cheat on the weights by 2 lbs then fight an old man and almost get ko'ed holding for dear life then sucker punch a young quitter in a span of 3 years you deserve the no# 1 spot. Oh I forgot duck the #2 guy for those 3 yrs while accuse him of steroids while he himself takes order called xylocain to numb his brittle fist which explains he's scared to fight outside of Nevada which is illegal to use in other states and only fights once a year to take his undetected steroids his dad is an expert at using and distributing.

The Greatest Boxer
- It is normal to idolize a person either in sports or showbiz. In the field of sport, Boxing is one of my favorites and being the global fan of boxing, it is my obligation to share as what is the real hero. See below: 1. Manny Paquiao - He is the greatest of all time, it is because of the 8 different division as king. 2. In Boxing history, there is no one who obtained in 8 different division, for example, Oscar Dela Hoya gained 6 different division and Mayweather with 5 division. To the other greatest boxers like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson are both greatest in different level of boxing field, as Scientific and largest numbers of victories respectively. The ranking of ring magazine is not the real information, for it is unfair to Manny Pacquiao started from flyweight to Super-welterweight class.

Top two for pound for pound ranking
- Comparing performances between Money and Pacman based on same opponents: Manny has more plus points than Money! Why? because Manny had a knockdown of Mosley but Money did not. Money had come in over weight for his fight with Marquez which is a negative action. Marquez during the last fight with Manny was desperate to win because of his observable head butting and his foot stepping on Manny and low blows starting in the first round. And a plus factors for Manny is exciting fights with much bigger, heavier, stronger and taller opponents and more active performances of twice a year compared to Money once a year fight.

No.1 Pacquiao RING MAGAZINE (Article)
- In the end, though, we decided to leave the pound-for-pound rankings as is for one simple reason: All but one member of the Ratings Advisory Panel who provided input and the entire RING Editorial Board believed it was the right thing to do. Consider: Pacquiao wasn’t fighting a chump. Marquez is the No. 5 fighter in the world pound for pound. And Pacquiao beat him, at least officially. A great fighter shouldn’t necessarily be demoted because another great fighter has his number. We didn’t think less of Muhammad Ali because he had trouble with Ken Norton three times. The same with Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler in their series. A fighter shouldn’t necessarily be demoted because he has an off night, if that’s what it was on Saturday. Sergio Martinez didn’t look great against Darren Barker but no one clamored for him to be demoted. Pacquiao has accomplished more than Mayweather in recent years. The Filipino is 9-0 against big-name opponents since the beginning of 2008; Mayweather is 3-0.

Yup
- Floyd's the best, and an a**hole, but he's the best. I'm mexican, and Victor made me embarrassed, he started it, Floyd retaliated, like a man...... Floyd is a pure pugilist and even says he's been waiting for someone to shut him up. 42 tried, 42 failed (43 if you count his ex-girlfriend). Pacquiao is really good, Floyd is great! When was the last time you saw Floyd bruised in a fight? They don't call him Pretty Boy for nothing. Real boxing fans know, unlike all these fillipino bandwagoners that are super juiced they finally have AN (one) athletic they can look up to ask the majority who nonito donaire is.... blank stares usually follow. hhaha, it's ok you can have your one martyr but just realize he's the exception to the rule, most of the flipps would make me laught trying to play sports during recess!

pacman at #1
- pacman deserves to be at #1...he always has an incredible fight. no cheating in every fight like mayweather.

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather ... then Marquez
- Emmanuel "Manny"Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May 2012. Then Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4 later in 2012 ... maybe 15 Rounds so it will be like a championship match like in 70's. Ali made defense of his belt for 15 rounds.
- —Guest Drich
Unfair
- Why is Floyd chicken ahead of manny...? Is it just because of his last performance against marquez...? Manny won, not as how we expect it, but he won fairly... About floyd chicken, his perfomance in the his last two fights were not astounding, especially the one with Ortiz... this is not fair.
