    I don't see this as an easy fight for Pacquaio. Diaz is one track fighter who moves forward.

    Question is . . . can Pac forced him to back up or move backwards? If not . . . has Pacquaio learned how to fight moving backwards? Just an honest thought.

    With that having said . . . I'm seeing this as a very closely contested fight. Diaz won't give Pacquaio space for him to utilize his vaunted power punches by forcing inside fighting, so what Pacquiao has to do is to be on his toes try to move in and out and sideways.

    . . . . it's gonna end up in a decission.

    Your thoughts? :think

    You gotta' remember, Pacquiao has worked on his footwork during training since Diaz is a come forward fighter who's willing to trade punches.. I think Pacquiao's speed will be the biggest advantage for him in this fight, as I think he'll comfortably move around the ring, throw some combinations and attacking Diaz at all angles.. Diaz will land some clean shots, but for every shot Diaz lands, Pacquiao will be landing three.. Diaz has been known to go all the way, but Pacquiao's constant workrate and power will wear down Diaz some.. I see Diaz's face a bloody mess after the fight..

    Diaz might have a few moments here and there but I see Pac win this one easily, say late TKO.

    Well Pac is untested at 135 . . . can he bring his power and speed? That is still to be seen.

    Like I said . . . if Diaz was able to cut the distance and force Pac to an inside fighting . . . then what? :D

    I'm pretty sure Pac has more power at 135 as Roach as said himself.. If Pac did lose any speed, he'll still be much faster than Diaz.. If Diaz forces Pac to inside fighting, then it's gonna' be one hell of a brawl.. Remember, Morales was able to floor Diaz and take him the distance.. I have a feeling we're gonna' see a different kind of Pac in this fight..

    Easily? :D

    Don't forget that Morales had this guy down . . . but it never slowed Diaz down.

    David Diaz is one of the weakest link at 135. If someone on this board think differently then, please come forward.

    Are you saying that he has more power than he did at 130lbs?

    I honestly see potential for a first-round demolition by Pac-Man.

    Diaz legitimately beat Santa Cruz who was completely robbed against the recognized lineal champion in the division

    Whether it is the hardest fight for Pac or not...it is irrelevant, the point is and still....David Diaz is one of the weakest link at 135...simple. If you disagree with me...then thats fine.
