    shoot, i think this diaz is an eisier one then the opponents they want marquez to fight. like guzman.
    and pac is having a hard time with weight. no mention of his weight on fightnight against juan. but speculations was 145-148. consider the diaz bout as a stay busy fight with some danger little.
    then would figure he'd go back to superfwt.
    i too don't think he would want to tangle with top dogs at ltwt.

    and whats with the jokester about amir khan
    are you kidding me!!!
    Not kidding, Khan will be too much for him. Mark my words.

      Seriously.

      Let's use some brains.

      The true champs of 135 div are D.Diaz, Campbell, Casa, J.Diaz (if he can pick himself up).

      Amir Khan is a prospect.

      When Pac beats the best at 135 then he will solidify that he has the right to stand side by side with Ali in greatness.

      Ali already compared himself to pac.

      So critics should just shut up.
      ali and pac are way too different. ali is patient, but pac is just eager to blow up. pac would be more like a mike tyson with less hunger... for a knock down...

      who decided to make pacman into a lw? his promoter? roach? discussion between him and roach mustve happened. maybe roach thinks pac can dominate lw division.

        Since Pac seems to be having problems making weight it would make sense for him to move up. I don't think Khan would beat him anytime soon, but if he were to fight him later in Pac's career than maybe, but not now.

        JoartCC I actually agreed with you on what you said about Pac, but come on that Ali comparison thing had me cracking up.

            Haha Hurricane the Pwntender legend himself. gee up son.

            I do think khan will **** pac man up but not quite yet. he's still developing n ****. Frank Warren wont let Amir Khan within 1000 metric miles of pac man anyways. give him 18months/2 years and he will definately rip him a new one.

                  I was just stirring but I totally agree with the above. Maybe not just yet but in 18 months if he hasn't moved up to light welter by then I think he'll have him for sure.

                      This is a joke. As it stands now....it would be Khan would on his back looking up at the arena lights under 6. Khan has almost every conceivable physical advantage over Pac and perhaps in a couple more years of wear and tear on Pac after a possible 3rd or 4th fight with JMM or bids for undisputed lightweight champ have taken their toll on Pac's body and Khan develops further it would probably be a different story. But i seriously doubt that Khan wouldnt be having such a hard time making the lightweight limit at that point he doesnt jump to welter. Only boxer in the game today with quicker speed than Pac is pretty boy so no advantage for Khan there. Khan is taller than Pac but that works against him because he cant work the body unless he wants to be in a completely precarious situation leaving him as a head hunter. Pac's speed and head movement is more than enough to make him whiff ALOT. Khan is huge for a lightweight but he hasnt been known to get inside and smother smaller opponents with his weight like Juan Diaz is good at so the weight advantage is useless. Khan also has a big reach advantage but his brawling style prevents him from staying on the outside for too long where he would be the most effective so the reach advantage is out the window. Khan has never faced an offensive whirlwind like Pac who has a complete lack of respect for his power the way unlike all Khan's previous opponents. Therefore as it stands now...Khan's chances of winning against Pac are slim to none. Pac would simply blur in and force khan to the ropes and corner at will...n have enough speed to blur out of range when needed until he drops khan in under 6.
