yea but chico and castillo used to be middleweights fighting at lightweights and when they moved up we all saw what happen to both of them.:yep IF pac can beat JMM, he should just stay there until a big money fight at 135 becomes available and then he can cash out because he isnt winning against any of the top lightweights as 130 is pacman's max weight.
pac is already having difficulties making 130. i don't believe that 130 is pac's max weight but you're certainly entitled to your opinion. but imho jmm's max weight is certainly 130. i think the biggest motivation for pac moving up to 135 is that he could get a belt there by fighting d. diaz and this sets him up for a very big money fight (his biggest) against hatton down the road. 135 is also now one of the least talented divisions in boxing and certainly the money isn't there. that's why pac is planning to fight hatton after just one fight at 135.
Pacquiao's body is already rejecting him at 130, that's why their moving up the weight at 135 where he can easily make the weight. He's max isn't 130, He could weight as much as 144.
Same as Castillo and Corrales, and we all saw how effective they were at the higher weights. Pac's peak is 130, and after JMM beats him what will be next for pacman?:think
Despite what Lederman's card said, it wasn't that close until that point either, IMO. I had it 117-110 Campbell at the end. I thought Juan only won 2 rounds, and even those rounds could have gone to Campbell. Diaz didn't clearly win a round all night. I was pretty shocked at what a blowout it was.
Hey Diaz is still one of my favorite fighters, he's due for a lost. He will be back though. I actually miss most of these fight because I was watching the UNC vs Duke game. Go Tarheels :yep
probably a re-match since it's stipulated in the contract. jmm agreed to this since he knows that he will get much bigger money if they fight a 3rd time. i don't think pac will lose though. but certainly a jmm win is also a big possibility. let's all see what happens on the 15th and let the chips fall where they may.
:good To be honest i picked Diaz over campbell via wide UD but i respect the SD win of Campbell.. You have to give it to nate.. he held it together for 12 rounds.
Only reason I picked him was becouse everyone was hyping him by saying "Diaz KO" Last i checked, like 2 people on these boards picked Campbell to win.
I see Campbell being Casamayor the second time around ... I never seen Katsidis fight but they campared his style to that of Juan Diaz. I think if so Casamayor out boxes him. I seen clips of him fighting but not a full fight ... from what I seen was him beating down a guy I never heard of or seen. I think Casamayor coming off a controversal win, will easily outbox Katsidis. Casamayor seen the all-out style before and will box effectively.
