Unimpressive Floyd May Give Way for Pacquiao in P4P
For those who are not yet aware, P4P is short version of pound-for-pound. The idea of pound-for-pound is to rate boxers as to who are the best among them taking weight as a non-factor.
In most experts’ p4p list, “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather, Jr. occupies the top spot. His performance against Zab Judah last April 9th, however, has put a lot of question marks to his occupancy of the p4p rank 1. He is known to be an explosive champion but he was short of being explosive against Judah. He decided to play it defensively when he realized that he had the numbers for the win. At one point in the fight, he appeared to have been knocked down but the referee called it a slip and no mandatory counting was given against him.
This lackluster of a show by Pretty Boy Floyd may give way for Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao to get to the top spot in those lists which Pacquiao at no. 2, and he may get to no. 2 position in the p4p that that lists him at no.3.
The only remaining item for Manny Pacquiao to legitimize his top rank among the best in boxing is a spectacular performance in a title showdown against one of the belt-holders in the superfeatherweight division.
