Greatest boxing display of the modern age?

[MickyHatton]

I cannot recall a better performance in the last 10 years than that of Manny Pacquiao against David Diaz.

Its easy to get carried away with a fight like that but lets put it into perspective, Pacquiao was fighting a guy who was on paper much bigger, stronger and a real force in the Lightweight division yet he comprehensively outboxed, out punched, and out fought the guy.

I have watched the fight twice now and it is almost a flawless performance with Pacman putting on a boxing master class by out jabbing Diaz, leading off with switch hitting lefts, lead hooks and counter lefts. Diaz in every aspect was second best and was beaten up round by round.

Considering the weight factors this for me is the greatest single performance of the last ten years. We can talk about Mayweather v Gatti or Calzaghe v Lacy etc but this eclipses those and many more.

Diaz is a very good fighter yet he was made to look average.

Diaz is a solid fighter but I think there have been better performances in the last 10 years.

He is just trying to hype up Pac so when Ricky Hatton fights him it will justify his spot on the P4P list.If not then he must of started watching boxing yesterday

Sorry but you need to watch more boxing, There are about 20 better performance/fights in the last 10 years from different fighters.

This is about opinions, I am not a Pac fan and I seriously expected him to struggle to a points win over Diaz.

Fine if you dont agree with me, point out the performances which have been better and so one sided considering the aspects of the fight instead of just disagreeing.

As for doubting my creditability, lol, OK thats fine, I have been involved in boxing longer than most on here have been alive, again its opinions.

This has nothing to do with Hatton its about Manny Pacquiao.

Calzaghe - Lacy - to everyone outside of the States Calzaghe was the favourite anyway and he was already a proven strong SMW. He outboxed him but didn't close the show.

Mayweather - Corrales - They were both of similar weight, Mayweather had not jumped up three divisions to fight him.

Mayweather - Gatti - I mentioned this fight in my previous post, a matter of opinion.
