After watching Pac's destruction of David Diaz for the 135lbs Championship, how do you all think he would do against the great Julio Cesar Chavez in his prime at 135?
After the Pac fight, I watched Chavez' fight against the late, great Puerto Rican puncher, Edwin Rosario. Chavez was like creeping death in that fight, as he was in all his fights. Rosario was a murderous puncher, yet he seem to be unable to even put a dent in Chavez' armor. Chavez pressed on and stopped Edwin late, after taking his best shots and eventually his will to fight.
Pacman is special though, and should be considered as one of the best ever, in the same class as a Chavez or Rosario. Would he be competitive with a prime Chavez? Or would he be more than competitive and completely overwhelm yet another Mexican great?
How would this fight play out???
pac would give jcc hell till hes face is messed up, look what oscar did to him, hes easy to hit. Should be an interesting though. On contrary, it's difficult 2 hit pac in a series of punches you have to have that one punch KO skills to stop him, the guy has been very good moving in and out firing on different angles and hits like hell. pac by late ko or technical stoppage due to serious cuts.
:boxing:
Good fight, but }chavez takes this one and by KO Manny doesnt have THAT great of a chin. MArquez stunned him several time and Cahvez punches 10 x harder than Marquez.
Where are the pacuqiao fans, it seems to me that they dont want to get embarrassed if they post a stupid comment like pacquiao would of beat chavez.. hmmmm.
is that you on the sig xfaget?
lol Diaz has absolutely no offense. No offense at all, he just ate shot after shot. You can't use David as a gauge to see how Paq would match up against any great lightweight, past or present. Especially for someone like Chavez who was a offensive force that made grown men piss blood when he would made contact.
David Diaz was the WBC Champion and a former US Olympian, certainly no bum. Of the other 135lbs Champs, D Diaz was arguably the best. Casamayor is old and Campbell is a joke. And considering, this was Pac's first fight at lightweight. He was clearly smaller than Diaz (note the width of Diaz' back all the way to his waist). Could Campbell or Casamayor do to Diaz what Manny did last night?
The question has to be asked. How would have Manny faired against the All Time Greats. Prior to the first Barrera fight if you were asked if Manny could beat all three of the best Mexican fighters of this era, three first ballot Hall of Famers, how would you have answered? Manny Pacquiao has done the unbelievable and he continues to peak.
