Sports Illustrated: Pacquiao drops to No.2 on Pound for Pound Boxer's List


The controversial win of Manny Pacquiao over Juan Manuel Marquez on their last week fight in the MGM Garden causes the Pacman to  dropped on the  No. 2 spot  in the Top 5 Pound for Pound Boxers List of Sports Illustrated and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. grabbing the top spot. Juan Manuel Marquez is at No.5.
The question now is, Will Floyd Mayweather, Jr. engage a fight with Manny Pacquiao or will he continue to claim that he is the No. 1 Pound for Pound Boxer without showing the Boxing Fans what they wanted.
The odds are now in favour to Floyd Weather. Jr. The unconvincing win of Pacquiao against Marquez showed that he has flaws when going against a great counter puncher which is the asset of Mayweather. But will he have the guts to face Manny? Still remains uncertain.
What do you think?
