    Have to go with Dinamita, Marquez didn't take the safest route, he took the best route. And it doesn't look like he plans on stoppin anytime soon.

        For me it has to Marquez, because i think overall Casamayor is the better fighter than Diaz and was going into the fight,But to be onest Cas and Diaz weren't margins apart,But Casamayor was the Ring Champ and the Ring number 1 and riding high on a 6 fight unbeaten streak which included wins over a unbeaten Michael Katsidis in which he didn't look brillant but at the end of the day tko'd a very tought fighter in Katsidis,Beat Diego Corrales who had a few pounds on him,and got a decision he shound't of got when beat Jose Armando Santa Cruz on Split Decision but a wins still a win.And also going into that fight no one had ever tko'd Casamayor unlike diaz who had been stopped in 8 by kendall holt,up until that point no one had ever really dominated casamayor,and he's been with some great fighters, and not only been in with them but beat them including Nate Campbell,Diego Corralesx2. Now taking away nothing from Diaz a good fighter in his own right going into the Pacquiao fight he was on a 9 fight unbeaten streak but the class a little lower thas Casamayor's, but he had beaten Erik Morales(But an aging Morales in which the fight was still very close and Morales fought he should of got) and also a stoppage win over Jose Armando Santa Cruz but in which even then he had to give a late rally because santa cruz was well ahead on all scorecards going in to the tenth but a wins still a win and other than that Diaz had beat a couple of journymen. So even do Both fighters impressive in thier first lighweight fights i just thought Marquez ko was more impressive.

          casamayor is the much better fighter and has the much better chin. Casamayor went into the ring believing he was really gonna beat JMM and diaz stepped in the ring with manny for a paycheck IMO. Manny's knock out looked good but marquez's was more impressive. Have to go with marquez's KO

            it would seem that jmm's victory is more impressive considering who it was, but then you should also consider that casamayor is past his prime.

            pac was much more dominant and his KO was much more spectacular in that it Diaz fell down like a sack of potatoes.

            In the end, I say Jmm's was more impressive but not by much.

              JMM Knocked out not only the legit titleholder of 135, but an alltime great technical fighter in casamayor, he moved up and took a real fight not for show, but for legitimacy.
