David Diaz? Why are people suddenly rating him?!?

[:::PSL:::]

I agree with u. From watching the fight and reading all the reports, it seems Pac and his management do not want to fight JMM again. I feel sorry for JMM cos he could and possibly should have beaten Pac twice.

Beating Diaz proves nothing, he nearly got beat by a clearly shot Morales who Pac defeated easily.
Hopefully the scenario is Pac beats Diaz, then gives JMM a shot at the 135 title.

Diaz has got heart and won't give up, he showed that against Morales and Santa Cruz.

Yes he's limited in the same way as oleg maskaev is limited but he still gave Sam Peter plenty to think about in their fight and rattled him.

It's by NO MEANS a gimme fight for Manny and IS a stern test for a first move up to an unknown weight class.

Not sure why people hate on him so much or this fight, but if Manny is serious about a new career at 135 he needs a decent test but not to go straight to the best man in the division.

Diaz is the perfect choice imo. Has name recognition after a win over Morales, plus he's a legitimate belt holder.

It's Manny's first fight at 135, seriously what do you guys want?

I want JMM v PAC III

Here's the highlight from JMM that night. A very good 1-2 combo from JMM that momentarily staggered Pac.



Feel better now Eagle?

I picked Diaz to beat Morales. I was wrong. Morales won.

Diaz is crap. Crap as in crap for a world-class "world" champion standard fighter.

Amir Khan would beat him tomorrow.

I agree with you here.
Amir would play around with David badly. David only fights 1 way and is very limited.

David Diaz is the very definition of a paper champ. He brings nothing to the table skills-wise, he's just a hardworker.

Diaz's big claim to fame is that he defeated the rotting corpse of Erik Morales, and I actually scored that fight as a narrow win for Erik.

David Diaz is not really Dangerous.

He's got no juice with his punches. I'm beginning to think he is related with Juan Diaz.

umm, No .Juan Diaz has little one punch pop but makes up for it in Volume and Consistency....in most cases.Nate that night was a tactical Terror and in preme form & would lump David Diaz up Also,But for a TKO. David Diaz with respect to his all out robotic ways,Is at his peak equal to where Juan Diaz was a couple of years ago In the all around skill's & Development Field

Diaz isn't as bad as people think. Knocking out Santa Cruz, even in a come from behind victory is a good win as was his controversial win over Morales.

Even those who scored it for Morales have to admit the fight was close and Morales looked much better than he did at super feather against Pacquaio.

As a step up in wieght first fight Diaz is ideal for Manny. He's the perfect opponent, beatable but with an exciting crowd pleasing style.

The fight itself will be entertaining whilst it lasts.

Diaz reminds me a bit of Britains own Carl Johanneson, a game battler, likely to be outclassed and beaten by the best but still an honest hard worker and a game opponent who won't come just for the paycheck.

If this fight happens I'll look forward to it, and wouldn't be at all suprised if Diaz made it a very rough night for Pacquaio.
