    I'm not sure who was rated higher between Diaz and Casa before they were beaten, but Casamayor is certainly better all time than Diaz. I haven't seen the Marquez-Casamayor fight yet, but my opinion on Pacquiao's win over Diaz was that it was very impressive. To utterly dominate and beat the living hell out of a title holder in his very first fight at that weight was quite an acheiment. So, to those who've seen both fights, which was the better win?

    P.S. Sorry if there's already a thread on this, I skimmed the board but saw nothing.

    JMM over Casa. Diaz is limited as a fighter. I thought he was gonna have a better game plan against Pacquiao but that didnt happen.

    i will be the minority but to me, it was Pac's win over Diaz. Everyone expected Pac to win, but noone expected him to win every second of every round. JMM vs Casa was almost equally as impressive but honestly I think Pac would have beaten Casa just as bad as David and maybe even worse because Casa being old as he is would have just given up after being completely outgunned.

    Anyways i said before Casa vs JMM was even signed that Casa was completely shot and that even David Diaz would beat him. I stand by that prediction.


    TBH i had Casa CLEARLY losing to SAnta Cruz.

    JMM win is waaaay more impressive.

    Pacquaio handpicked David Diaz to test the waters at 135, JMM jumped straight in against a legitimate if slightly faded champion.

    The only fight out there for Pac is JMM.

    Definetly Marquez over Casamayor. When I saw the Diaz vs. Montano fight on the Pacquiao/Marquez 2 undercard, and saw how utterly ineffective he was, I knew he was in for an ass beating against Pacquiao. As for for Casa "giving up" against Pacquiao, thats a ridiculous statment as he has never had a prior inclination of quitting in any fight.

    Completely shot? I heard his performance this fight was quite impressive. Someone even said this was the best version of Casamayor in years.

    it was a good fight for casa during the early goings. but he clearly was tiring. a sign of being shot. if he did not fade during the middle rounds, we could have a close decision win for marquez.

    casa looked really old and marqquez wasn't peppering him with shot after shot.
    pac' over diaz= pac won all rounds
    marquez over casa= hard way to score

    if you interchanged them, pac against casa and marquez against diaz. i think pac will win by knock out. and marquez will win by a perfect 12-0 unanimous decision. so wat's more impressive. i believe its pac's. it's only mine. but give credit to marquez, that 3rd fight should be sealed

    with diaz workrate, chin and stamina, i would confidently pick diaz to stop casamayor in the later round while casa is leading in the scorecards.

    JMM completely outclassed him. I didn't see anything that a prime Casamayor could do to Marquez, other than go the distance......he was completely out of his game against Marquez and you cannot attribute that to him being old but to Marquez having the perfect style to defeat Casamayor.

    Casa looked a bit better than the Katsidis fight, though still obviously faded. It's close, but Marquez's win was more impressive to me. David Diaz was a handpicked opponent as others have said, and only had the title because he got a gift decision against a shot version of Morales in his hometown. Casamayor, though faded, was possibly still the best Lightweight champion overall, and had never been stopped before.
