Manny Pacquiao's crushing sixth round knockout loss to Mexican legend Juan Manual Marquez has sent the eight division world champion crashing to No. 7 from his former No. 1 spot alongside Floyd Mayweather Jr in the prestigious Ring Magazine pound for pound list.
Marquez, as a result of his stunning victory overtook Pacquiao and reignng WBO and Ring super bantamweight champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire to grab the no. 3 spot behind Mayweather who filled up the previously vacant No. 1 spot with WBC and WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward at No. 2.
WBC middleweight champion Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez is at No. 4 followed by Adrian Boner at No. 5 while Donaire has dropped to No. 6 as a result of the reshuffle triggered by Pacquiao's painful loss.
Pacquiao still remains in the top ten at No. 7 followed by WBO, IBF, WBA and Ring heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko with Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley who took Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title in No. 9 while Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero winds down the top ten.
