This would have been a war! Juan holding WBA/WBO/IBF titles.. Then Manny moving up to challenge him, Diaz's aggressive style vs Pacquiao's speed/power punching, I would have been a classic! :happy
pacdbest once predicted the fight would have ended in the eight round via a one-sided beating by pac. must be true
Yeah it woulda been a classic alright.... a classic ass whuppin, which would have ended in a classic KO. Pac woulda killed that heffer.
All Campbell did is hit him to the body and Diaz wilted. Pac's heavy body shots will do serious damage.
Diaz is perfect for Pacquiao and would have gotten mauled, wouldn't like to see Diaz in that fight, though it would be entertaining while it lasted.
Pacquiao would've destroyed that fatso. He made the right call. Better to have wins over established stars and future legends DLH, Hatton and Cotto discredited at 140-147 than have his wins against lower regarded guys like Diaz, Campbell, Guzman, Valero at 135 totally **** on after he whooped them.
Diaz is not a heavy-handed fighter, of course, but people labeling him with "no power" are being...****ing silly. I say he's a medium-power volume puncher and his knockouts reflect that. He is not Malignaggiesque any more than he is Corrales-like.
