    David Diaz said he feels the “speed and aggressiveness of Pacquiao will be a deciding factor” because he thinks that Mayweather “had fought a lot more slower fighters.”

    He also said that the southpaw stance of Pacquiao will make it “a little bit difficult” for Mayweather.

    He predicted “it's gonna be a great fight which boxing needed and I can’t wait to see it.”

    I think his speed will be neutralized by footwork and timing. And this idea that Pacquiao is just going to dazzle Mayweather with his speed I think is very short-sighted. Mayweather isn't exactly slow and has some of the best timing in the sport.

    I don't think speed is going to be an issue, as neither man will have a significant advantage in that department one way or the other. Just IMO.

    "Some" people are going to be in for a shock when Floyd starts slipping Manny and timing that right hand. Not me.
