By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - In ESPN's Boxing section, in their latest Pound for Pound Rankings, Manny Pacquiao has finally (and properly I might add) been dumped from the number one position. The new number one pound for pound fighter on ESPN's list is none other than Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. My only question over this new revelation by ESPN (Dan Rafael) is what took you so long to figure that out?!

I actually like Pacquiao as much as the next guy. Admire his skills and what he brings to the sport, but for years now I have been saying that the P4P King is Floyd Mayweather Jr. To me, It has always been super obvious. My only guess is that many scribes can no longer with a straight face try and pawn Pacquiao as number one over "Money". (Not after Pacquiao's less than stellar performance against Juan Manuel Marquez..)

ESPN now officially ranks Floyd "Money" Mayweather in the proper position of number one, followed by Pacquiao in number two and Sergio Martinez as third. Finally they are in line with me... and it's about time.
