They both got destroyed, one by Manny and one by Cotto. Who do you think was more overmatched? What was more of a landslide? cus they boy got their shit pushed in and their cap peeled back!
Alfonso Gomez was more overmatched. He was brave and did his best but never came close to become a top 147, or even a top 15.
David Diaz was the weakest title holder but a ranked figter(top 5). With that said, it's pretty safe to say that talent wise, he should have never been a top 10 at Lightweight. In the Ring Mag, he's not ranked anymore and was just because he did beat a over the hill Morales. Katsidis would have given a better fight to Pacquiao.
Inactivity also has to do with his rank falling.
The way Cotto looked like him at the end of the round was like:
''You're going to sleep....bitch!''
yeah that was pretty sick, he had no respect for gomez fight game at all.
Gomez. Cotto is a bigger hitter at 147 than Pac at 135. And tho Diaz was a paper champ, he was a titlist ranked in the top 4 at LW. Both were there to get beaten but Diaz was more live imo.
