Now...recollect...the 3 knockdown's in the first? To come back and make it a DRAW??...Wow!...to accomplish that...he had to practically murder the other fighter to come back from that deficit...
The second was also questionable...but to hear over and over again how PAC destroys everyone...is an exaggeration when you talk about his fights with JMM...if anyone can beat Paquiao in a "mano a mano" fashion, without all the dancing and running around you will see with PBF...it will be JMM...one last shot...is all he is asking for...and then his journey will end and he will be satisfied.
A Classic fight it will be between both fighters who will bring all they have and much heart to the fight, which is what fans urge for!!
Or what about JMM for many thinking he actually won both of those fights? I thought he won the second one for sure.
I actually think so as well. The evidence is in the fighter's face at the end, waiting for the cards. You remember the de la Hoya vs Tito fight? I'm Rican and you can see the dejection in Tito, he knows its a hard sell to get the W. Look at Pacquaio at the end of the second fight, he was taking 2 to land 1 in the middle-late rounds, he won that riding on how people focus on the KD's. First fight was the same. He looked like he was about to cry, JMM looked ready to go 15 rounds to settle the score. To me, that's a true champion. It's like Frazier and Ali in the Thrilla in Manila, Frazier may have lost, but Ali was the one with the look of pain on his face. When the decision is announced their complexion changes to OMG i won, LOL!
:dead1:
The bottom line is that David Diaz doesn't look better off this performance, nor does anyone else. All this shows is that Diaz is a better pinata. Big f*cking deal - he's nowhere near Hatton's level.
no objective boxing fan would agree that diaz is in hatton's league playa...
if u dont get the point of the thread or if u disagree with what most of the the cats on here are saying... whats the point u keep posting?
its the thread... make a wiser thread then...

of course im comparing them on the merit of their fight against MP...
who looked more terrible in there?
So you compare fighters based on one common opponent? How wise...
Lol. I can clearly remember you said that about david diaz as well. That this guy was just a punching bag. But hell diaz a tougher punching bag than hatton.
Diaz is still a punching bag, but with better defense than Ricky. I expected Ricky to have some sort of defensive improvements, not the complete opposite..
He doesn't neccessarily look good. Styles make fights and Hatton's style turned out to be tailor made for Pacquiao - i.e come forward with no defence..

guys watch the fight again, David did better defensively against PAC than both Ricky and Oscar...
and offensively even landed more punches than both...
David Diaz will be remembered just as Fernando Vargas; a good solid fighter, but Not Great
david diaz is a good fighter, and anyone who belittles him or his accomplishments should find another sport to watch. he has one of the most fan-friendly styles today, and he leaves it all in the ring each and every time he gets in there. he's a accomplished a lot for a guy that has no 1 standout attribute.

Just because Diaz could take a punch better doesn't mean he's good, or better. He still sucks.
