    Anyone else think that this was Pac in his Prime and was his best performance?

    I know Diaz is no Morales or Marquez but in this fight manny was too fast, too strong and to give Diaz credit, he stayed in there as long as he could but just couldnt do much as manny overwhelmed him

    performance wise I think the diaz fight was mannys best due to the fact that he was moving up in weight and destroyed the fast, durable, legit, lightweight champion with ease :good

    Diaz is the perfect style for Pac to shine. He's right there to be hit and too slow to do anything about it.

    Diaz got a gift against Morales, btw, and I'm still ****ing hot under the collar about it.

    What ive noticed from watching a few of the older fights also is that manny has definitely slowed down and become more defensive, probably due to the fact that he is now facing heavier punchers and he is a little older and heavier himself.

    Diaz is a horribly limited fighter whose only real asset is his willingness to take a punch.

    Amazing performance. I love in the post fight interview when Diaz said it felt like Freddy was hitting him too.

    Ledwaba on the last? Ledwaba is one of his best wins and should be placed on number 6 on ur list. pacquiao just got 2 weeks to train for this fight and owned the champ

    I think of the fight as basically being Pacquiao's version of Ali-Williams. Williams was a shadow of his former self when Ali got to him, but the sheer domination and absolute control and skill has always made that fight stand out for a lot of people.

    Pacquiao-Diaz is similar. Not Pac's greatest opponent, not by a long shot, but a very tough one that was perfect for Pac, and Pac was so perfectly prepared and coached for Diaz, (watch how when Diaz jabs, he drops his left hand and Pacquiao smashes him with a counter hook over and over when it happens) that it became an exhibition of similar to Ali-Williams.
