Juan Diaz called Pac out. Instead, he fights David Diaz... Not saying Diaz deserved a fight with him but you wishing Pac would smoke him could have and should have happened.
I don't think Freddie was confident in what Pac could do at that particular point in time. We all realize Pac would KO him now, but back than it was tough to call
the facts are these, when juan diaz was an undefeated three belt lightweight champion he called out pacquiao twice on HBO and pacquiao completely ignored him. who knows who would have won. since then pacquiao has improved while juan diaz has hit a few rough spots. still, i think juan has what it takes to win another lightweight title in the future.
Confident my ass... He was protecting his fighter. Plus, it didn't help Juan being a DKP fighter. Hindsight being 20/20..Pac should have fought him. Instead JMM and Nate Campbell gets the glory. Nate f'n Campbell. Diaz was his meal ticket to bigger fights.
doby, say what you want about juan diaz but he was a solid lightweight champion with seven title defenses!
thats another easy opponent for pacquaio to add to his padded record full of tomato cans and aged legends past their prime
