rigondeaux is #1 because right now he is the most skilled boxer int he world, even more athletic than floyd and surely more powerful in his punches. also still prime time.

pacquiao regained the #1 because he showed class from the past, while surely being outside of his prime, his blistering speed and super quick footwork would still be to much for barely anybody.

golovkin would normaly lose against floyd in a p4p sense, because lets face the truth, ggg doesnt have the quickness hand and footspeed to deal with floyds moving and floyds overall speed level. but since we talk right now and not the floyd of 5 years ago, than i have to give ggg the advantage. floyd clearly had problems with limited and in comparison to ggg inferior boxer and if maidana had what some say a draw in the first fight and a close second fight, were the ref had to be bought by tmt and never gave maidana a single chance to box inside, were maidana is the most effective. than past prime now mayweather would certainly have great difficulties with prime destroyer golovkin.

mayweather is past prime and not the same boxer he used to be, but still good enough for most top boxer, he simply that good.

lara would beat mayweather, longer reach, bigger, stronger, very athletic, great footwork, simply a full grown 154 and mayweather is 147 and just would struggle against a guy similar as athlatic and quick and technicly well rounded. but we talk p4p and same size same weight floyd beat lara.
Cheppy,

How would Pacquiao do against Lara? You are on the spot.
in teh real world. lara beats the shit out of pacquiao, because similar reasons why lara would beat mayweather. lara got to much size, reach on pac and may. he is a grown strong 154 boxer, pac and may are more 147 or lower, thats why i say lara circles around and jabs them away and uds both.

but if we talk p4p, same size same weight, than a 5'9 75 reach pacquiao is a freakin monster. pacquiao is minimi in real, but p4p, same sze like lara, he would be an tall heavy handed super quick destroyer, cant see lara surviving this over 12.
