    i want to see the manny that fought morales in the rubber match again. that was an all-out attack with no regard for pacing at all. he didn't plan to take it to the later rounds because he had fever the night before the fight. that kind of pacing would take out diaz no longer than 6 rounds.

    manny will carry his power at 135, maybe even improve it. for a fighter who gains 16lbs. overnight after weigh-in and still fights at elite level, he'd surely do well moving up to 135.

    Manny by decision. Diaz tends to get stronger the longer the fight goes. Pac's best chance to score a KO is in the early going, but I doubt Pac would risk punching himself out especially fighting a much bigger man in a heavier weight class. I see Pac picking his spots and countering Diaz coming in since he has no other way to fight but forward.


    It's a comfortable points win for Pac, but Diaz' face is beaten to a pulp.

    Power is not the issue here. Can pac take Diaz's punch and pressure?Will his speed still be there?

    power would definitely be an issue. this is pac's best weapon to keep diaz from jumping on him and to neutralize diaz advantage at inside-fighting. hurt him with punches when the fighting is on the inside, wooble him occasionally so diaz would be discouraged to get near.

    Gotta give this to Pac. Can't see a serious scenario where Diaz style or skill-level would even allow him to compete well.

    Though, Diaz is a southpaw - maybe it offsets Paquiao?

    I doubt it. Just threw that out there.

    Pacquiao KO1 Diaz. Not even joking, it's possible, so I'm saying it!!!!!

    I have little doubt Pacquiao has any trouble at all. It's not that Diaz is an awful fighter, it's just that Manny is much, MUCH faster than him.

    Which is why I think this might be smart pick, picking a first round Pacquiao demolition. I see him finding Diaz chin easily, sooner than later.:good

    Think again people ! :D

    This is gonna be closer and competitive than what most of you think. Diaz has a very good chin and he's not going down that easy.

    Again . . . Pac by decission.:yep

    well i think that Diaz will be able to stun Pac one or two times throughout the fight. The rounds where Pac gets stunned will likely be rounds that could go either way because he will win most of the round, while the rest of the rounds will be clear for Pacquiao
