He's going to end up eating his own words in the near future wait and see.
"in boxing there are judges to decide on who wins a fight. The judges had spoken and we must respect that in the same manner that I would have also respected had the decision was in reverse.”

David Diaz will be yet another mexican fighter owned by Pacquiao including his belt. Don't do it Diaz, for the pride of mexico, don't do it.

I am not sure. Although Manny is good fighter I am not sure he really belongs as number 2 on the pound for pound list. I really expect he will be owned in a surprise upset in one of his next fights. He needed to move North as the weight issue was starting to impact him. On the other hand his recent fights have not been blow outs by any means. He is a careful fighter these days but a pound for pound great? Maybe, maybe not. I still haven't decided.

Diaz is cashing in and sacrificing his title in the process. Even he probably knows he's not gonna win

I agree I think pac is a real good fighter but has power at 135 won't be wat it was at 130 given that he's gonna have a lot more tougher fights and he's gonna be getting hit harder so it will be interesting to see I also I think it would be a better figh to watch against katsidis or even juam diaz even tho they lost those would be action packed fights

pac at 135?

I like Diaz, he's a fun guy to watch, but this is just another notch on Pac's belt. Pac is the best fighter P4P, and while i respect Diaz, i expect the fight to be stopped early in Pacquiao's favor.

Is he Mexican? No wonder Pacquiao likes to be with him. Manny likes taking titles away from Mexicans

lol, i gaurentee you he keeps a list of all the good mexican fighters and crosses them off one by one. THAT'S why he didn't take the re-match with JMM, cuz he's got other mexicans to fight!
