    Forgot about the two knockdowns in the opening round? I believe fighters at 135 will not be affected by Pac's power, hell it deminished when he moved up to 130. So I see nothing good about him fighting at a higher weight, he will only get schooled badly.

    You fool he's better off facing Diaz than Raheem , because I can see Raheem has a very high chance of beating pacquaio 75% chance.

    Nah...the two straight punches weren't power punches...they were just very well timed and placed. Casa has a little pop, but not like a Valero, PAC or Miranda....those guys have really heavy hands, explosive power or both.

    That could happen (pac getting schooled) but i highly doubt it especailly if a GREAT Technician like JMM couldn't do it. His speed, reflexes and power should all remain in tact. His power didn't follow him up immediately when he moved to 130......but after he filled out, had a few fights his power showed,......as it did agaisnt MAB, EM, Solis and JMM. He'll be fine at 135 and should take that division as well.

    Pac probably couldn't beat Anthony Peterson right now, no way he beat those in the upper echelon of the division.

    Raheem would be a bad option. D.Diaz is a perfect option. He is tough and thats all.

    David Diaz is perfect for Pacquaio. He has a belt, style to make the fight entertaining, and Pacquiaio will beat him up pretty good. Diaz is obviously a nice springboard to bigger and better things at lightweight and maybe jr.welterweight for Pac.

    Anthony is a great talent....he's right around my way as matter of fact. He has a **** load of ability and the sky's the limit but he is still green. He hasn't been tested.

    He may very well be able to beat PAC. Right now though is reaching....even if PAC is stepping up to a new weight class. Anthony is a sound technician and very slick, but he hasn't faced anyone close to being on PAC's level. I think D. Diaz would give Anthony so problems in the later rounds...

    ONE: B/c Anthony hasn't been in any championship fights and TWO: we dont know how Anthony is going to react to a fighter who is still coming at him after he's thrown all his best offense at him.

    Pacman is the best boxer alive and arguably the greats of all time ...
