Rankings: Mayweather takes over top spot





 The debate between the offensive majesty of Manny Pacquiao against the defensive wizardry of Floyd Mayweather Jr. The 44 active voters in the Yahoo! Sports boxing pound-for-pound poll had their say, and 29 of them voted Mayweather first.
As a result, Mayweather takes over the top spot in our November ratings by a razor-thin margin. Mayweather received 29 first-place votes, nine second-place votes and six third-place votes. Pacquiao received 15 first-place votes, 26 second-place votes, two third-place votes and one fourth. The remaining second-place votes went to Sergio Martinez (seven) and Juan Manuel Marquez (one).
Voters are asked to select the 10 best fighters in the world, regardless of weight. Assuming each fighter weighed the same, who would win if they kept their same physical dimensions and skills.
