    Kendall Holt is a good fighter and stylistically maybe he was bad for Diaz. Diaz gets a good style for him with Pacquiao.

    If Pacquiao can counter punch and pick his spots to jump in with his 1-2s, he should be able to handle Diaz. I don't think Pacquiao can back Diaz up. It's going to be a good test for Pacquiao at 135 and also for when he looks to challenge Hatton down the line.

    I still don't want to sleep on Diaz because he looks ready and has sculpted his body into a winner's physique for this fight.

      Diaz has fought all the way up to 140 i believe
      147.

      17 of his fights were at 140 or 147.

      it's good test to see how manny would do if he fought hatton at 140.

        Have no idea why people dismiss Diaz. If he had any power he'd be the recreation of a mini Marciano. Diaz is also the vastly hungrier fighter, though Manny does seem to be well motivated. Classic scrap.

        Good learning curve for Manny if he makes Hatton his next bout. Hatton equally rough, strong, though in a different style than Diaz.
        Nice guy but you said it "IF HE HAD POWER." Manny has got rocked by others at 130. Thats against JMM and Morales and he still won.
