P4P#1 now Mayweather's back

Assuming Mayweather beats Marquez in his comeback fight, which is likely, who should be the sports P#P#1?

I am sure there will be many people sticking Mayweather straight back into the P4P#1 spot, but for me thats ludicrous. I dont believe he ever deserved the title in the first place as the P4P#1 must face the biggest challenges out there, and thats not Mayweather, he's been cherry picking his oponents for years, and he's at it again with Marquez. Pacquio on the other hand has been mixing it up with anyone he can get to face him in the ring. He did a number on De La Hoya and obliterated Hatton, both performances were 10 times more impressive than Mayweather's.

Although i think Mayweather will have Pacquio's measure if they ever meet, that does not make him my P4P#1. Pacquio has done much more to deserve that title IMO and it will be a sad day for the sport if Mayweather gets thrown right back in there!

Pacquio P4P#1 :TU:

Definitely Pacquiao because he destroyed Hatton and Mayweather didn't KO until the tenth and until the point deduction it was a close fight.

Pacquiao because he's active and in the form of his life.

I dont see that happening. Marquez will be to small and i think Mayweather will win comfortably. For me, Marquez wont be as suited to the higher weight as Pacquio appears to be now and with his first fight, probably at a catch weight between 140/147, against a super tactition like Mayweather, he'll struggle IMO!

But, should Marquez win, he'll be right up there battling it out with Pacquio on most people's lists, and deservedly so. Then they would just have to fight again!

How I see the fight going is PBF winning the first half of the fight and JMM coming on strong in the second. I can't decide if I would rather see Pacman Vs PBF or another vs JMM.
