Will Diaz be Pac's Buster Douglas? Probably not. Freddie Roach is too smart to allow Pac to look past Diaz and risk the upset. But what's going in Pac's head may be another story. It would seem that it's his fight to lose.
Pac will make this guy look like a club fighter ... i think maybe he's looking just as bad as Gatti did against PBF.
I doubt it, simply cos Pac will get hit and not look as flashy though looking more dangerous. Pac will either try make a fool of this guy by outboxing him or he will just go in there, enter a war of attrition with Diaz being KO'd inside 4 rounds. Possible Pac KO's him in the 1st round, I mean if he can KD JMM 3 times in the 1st round, this guy may not get up the 3rd time. If Pac wants a Hatton fight seriously, no better way of promoting it than a 1st round demolition of a LW titlist.
Pac is too fast ... i'm sure that he'll get hit because its a fight, but i'm not convinced in Diaz' power -- I'm not convinced in Diaz' speed -- I'm not convinced in Diaz' overall skill -- He got busted up against Erik Morales ... He was getting beat down against Santa Cruz ... he was getting beat down by Kendall Holt ... and I know for a fact no matter how much Pac slows down ... he's still faster than Diaz and Faster than those guys I just named that gave David Diaz a beat down. This guy got taken the distance in his last fight against a guy w/ 1KO on his resume.
you never know, this is the year of the upsets Quintana/Williams 1 Diaz/Campbell Vera/Lee Phillips/Spinks etc...
I think not this time ... its going to be more like Floyd (PAC) - Gatti (Diaz) type of fight. ... but Hatton will knock PAC ribbs off ....
Diaz is made to order for Pac. Thats one of the reasons Arum has been eyeing this fight for a while. Pac grabs a title and becomes a player at a deep and profitable division. Pac will bust up Diaz.
