David Diaz-Manny Pac...whats the point?

When entering a new division...Pac always gets a tune-up fight first.

To win a title in another weight class and to see how he does at 135.

thats understandable then. I just hope that this isnt a PPV and they try to sell David Diaz as the champion like he has a chance. It wouldnt be a bad showcase on HBO for Pac though, I think hes going to walk through him quite easily.

I wouldn't say that tho.....from what I've seen.....david has a tough chin. And he's real big too.

As a Pac fan I've no interest in this fight, Diaz lost a close fight to washed up Eric Morales.

is this simply to gain a belt in another weightclass similar to what Erik was trying to do? There are bigger money fights and more interesting ones at 130, so i dont really get this one, especially if its a PPV. How do you even sell it, David Diaz recieved a gift against Morales while Pac destroyed Erik are we supposed to somehow be intrigued by that. Is this simply a tune-up to see how he feels at the weight or what?

What is the point of a Zab Judah vs Mosley fight on PPV? Zab judah hasnt done jack **** for a while...

While David Diaz has held a title and defended it and only lost 1 time/

but I think this fight should be on HBO if its on ppv it better have a good co main event.

Id say the point of Judah-Mosley is to find probably the 2nd or 3rd best welterweight in the world. Each guy has the ability to be the best in the division, while Diaz barely had enough to beat Erik Morales (thanks to a hometown decision).

I think this fight is a showcase for Manny, maybe a deserved one but to act like Diaz is a threat is taking it a bit far in my eyes. Who knows though, a motivated fighter is always dangerous and considering his style, that is if he doesnt hold, i guess it could be great entertainment

two top rank fighters... easy to inked...easy to be done...

Arum said this is to test the waters in 135 lb division.. Mayweather's first fight at 147 was against Mitchell. David Haye plans on having a few fights for tune up in Heavyweight before he fight the champions.. Pacquiao needs to test first if he could bring his power and speed in 135..

Not bad considering a title shot in his debut at 135.. This will make him 4 division champion history in the making if he can be a 3 linear champ if he defeat Joel.. That's history!

After David Diaz, anything is possible but I'm guessing he will fight either Casamayor, Campbell or JMM...
