Diaz is a very limited fighter. He BARELY beat a completely shot Erik Morales. I actually scored the fight as a narrow win for Erik.

So, if Pacquiao is in shape and focused, then he should be able to easily beat Diaz. However, the big question is... will Pacquiao be in-shape and focused? We all know that Manny has had questionable habits from time to time. He's coming off a huge fight against a great opponent (Marquez), so it'd be human nature for him to take Diaz lightly. Also, whenever a fighter moves up in weight, I think there's always a tendency for them to get lazy in training, because they know they don't have to keep their weight in control as much as they normally do. Pacquiao has a 5 pound cushion this time that he hasn't had before. If Pacquiao looks past Diaz, then there's always a chance of an upset, because any fighter can be beat if they're not focused.
