Pac-Man's definately moving up. Although Diaz isn't the best at 135, if Pac-Man beats him convincingly, and adds another world title in his, I believe 4th weight class? If you ask me that makes him P4P #1, ONLY because of Floyd's inactivity and inability to fight the top names at or around 147. Picture this:
Pac-Man beats Diaz, wins the 135 lb title. Goes on to fight someone like a Nate Campbell, like a Joel Casamayor, and becomes the undisputed champ at 135.
Floyd beats Oscar, CONVINCINGLY, and perhaps even has him in trouble. Floyd then decides to vacate his WW title and moves down to 135 to meet Pacquiao in a P4P clash.Comment

I agree especially since Diaz has been fighting 11 1/2 years and the biggest names he's fought are Santacruz and a washed up EM, besides that he's barely hoping to make a name of himself at almost 32 years old! This fight is BS. It's just another nobody giving up the belt to the newly crowned $$$man for promoters.Comment
