been a boxing fan since srl and tyson's era. caught ali's last fights. the whole jmm-casa was not boring, i exaggerated, but there's a lot of pauses where each fighter was just waiting for something to happen. bigger is when i compared diaz's size to pac. yeah casa may be more dangerous, but one sees prime diaz as a patsy, only because the way pac manhandled him. jmm-oldcasa was even till the KO.
JMM personally to me, is the best fighter on the planet and p4p number 1

man, im one of the few who puts little stock into that argument, because if guys like mayweather and others could have turned pro in their smaller bodies at 15/16/17 they would have, and would have started at similarly smaller weights if they could. i just like i dont put much stock into pacs losses at those smaller weights neither, he was just a kid.Comment

As much as i like pacman, JMM moved up and fought a superior fighter, you can say casamayor is old, however he was undisputed coming off of a huge fight he was supposed to lose, JMM is no spring chicken either. Pac moved up and fought the softest beltholder there was, and dont tell me he couldnt have fought casamayor, guzman or any of the others after he fought marquez, he could have taken those guys on if he wanted to, but he didint. I think David Diaz getting KOd by pac is a great accomplishment, but JMM moved up and took a real fight against a legit champ at that weight who has never been stopped. JMM to me, Is the best fighter in the world.Comment

in my opinion i dont really care what difficulties pac faces moving up against de la hoya because hes choosing this, when is the last time you saw a p4p 1 get laid on his ass and keep the title? nothing against pac at all, but come on, if pac loses, JMM SHOULD BE number 1, especially if Jones Jr does the impossible.
I agree with this 100%.Comment

I respectfully disagree with the premise of this thread, and I disagree with the statement that a win over Casa is greater than a win over Diaz. I think DDD has been completely overlooked by the majority and is very underrated. While certainly Pac could have faced Campbell or Casa...you must also keep in mind Diaz's only loss was at 140 and he KOd santa cruz who clearly beat casa.
Im aware that is a triangle theory but also take into account that for such a supposedly weak beltholder none of the other existing lightweight champs wanted anything to do with him. With juan and julio unfying with each other then juan opting 4 journeyman nate campbell while casa opting 4 up and comer katsidis.
Im sure if he was such a weak titlist juan, joel and julio would have been more than happy to relieve david of his hardware long ago but they all left him be. And it wasnt until 3 titles were unified and Juan upset by Campbell that these DDD is the weak link theories started appearingComment

I respect your opinion and think JMM's win last weekend makes him the top lightweight in the world. But p4p Pac is still number one in my opinion based on his head to head record against Marquez. Casamoyer was a better win than Diaz, but we just can't throw out their the fact that Manny does have a win over JMM (no matter how close any of us thought it was, or who won) in the record books. If anything, I think it reinforces why Pac is #1.Comment
