Watching the destruction of Katsidis at the hands of the slick Joel Casamayor what do you all think of Manny's chances are should they fight.
Casa sure packs a punch.
He sure does. But is Pac willing to just to attack Casa. Just look at Pac's last 2 recent fights(JMM and MAB), boxing instead of slugging it out. Pac does not have the skills of MAB, JMM, and EM but it won him 2 decisions in his fights with MAB and JMM.
If Pac wins against Diaz, this fight might happen. Remember that GBP also has some rights to Pac. They won't allow Top Rank to solely promote Pac.
I think Pac would win. Maybe not by KO, but he'd win. He's too fast for Casa to stay away from all night. Even though Casa is the naturally bigger guy, it's not his game to try to walk down a fighter and beat him up. He'll need to move a lot to beat Pac and I don't think he has the speed to do that for 12 rounds.
I think Pacquiao would win, the key for him is an effective body attack, Casamayor was very affected by that against Katsidis. Pacquiao's game plan for the fight should be to follow the saying "Once the body falls, the head will follow".
Katsidis should have gone to the body more, that's what worked best. Pacquiao is faster - the question is would Casamayor be able to deal with Manny's body punches? I don't think so...
