Manny Pacquiao The Best in the World, says Roy Jones Jr

CIANI: Manny Pacquiao recently had a fight against Antonio Margarito. I’m curious, what are your thoughts on Manny Pacquiao as a fighter? What were your thoughts on his performance?

JONES: Pacquiao is pound for pound the best fighter in the world, and he put on a magnificent performanceâ€"magnificent. I mean I gave up 27 pounds and beat John Ruiz, but I’m a bigger guy, too. For him to give up the kind of weight like he did to this kid Margarito and beat him like he did, it was absolutely magnificent.

CIANI: You said that Pacquiao is the pound for pound king right now, and that’s a distinction you once held. Right now there are a lot of fans torn between whether it’s Pacquiao or Mayweather, and I’m wondering do you think fans will finally get to see that fight in 2011?

JONES: Yeah I think they will and I hope they do, but right now Pacquiao has it and Floyd’s going to have to take it from Pacquiao. - source: ontheropesboxingradio.com/featuredarticle_11_28_10.html
