When Pacquiao fought David Diaz, was Diaz the worst titlist?

[Chups]

nate campbell. ZERO defenses.

He didn't have any belts yet when the fight was signed.

A 37 yr. old Casamayor is worse for Pac since critics have been crying about Pac fighting old fighters. Diaz was a young fresh Champion. Simple logic.

Juan Diaz was busy with Campbell BTW. DDiaz was the best choice.

paper champ....easily the worst

He was. Casa isn't far behind. Pac would have worked Casa and Juan Diaz for that matter.

Casa is a hof. Comparing him and Diaz is ******ed.

Casa could outbox Pac.

Was Michael Jennings ranked in the top 50 at 147?

Probably not but thats irrelevant.

The Cotto - Jennings fight was for a vacant title and was also a tune up fight for Cotto who had just come off the first loss of his career, a brutal loss might i add.

Throwing Cotto into deep water after a loss like that would of been more damaging to Cottos confidence and could of been fatal to his career.

It does make me laugh that people try to criticise Cotto's level of opposition when he has faced the likes of Margarito, Mosley, Quintana, Judah and Clottey at 147.

Casa was past his prime but was still a very good figthter and still miles better than David Diaz who struggled with a shot Morales.

Casamayor gave Marquez a good fight before he eventually got stopped.

I agree with this.

[El Angel]

Yeah, but Pacquiao made him look worse than he really is. He isn't that bad, but he is definitely not great.

Exactly.

did they sign diaz-pacquiao before the pacquiao-marquez fight?

campbell beat diaz a week before pac-jmm 2.



i don't know about signed but diaz-pac was definitely planned before campbell beat juan diaz.

juan diaz-pac could have been made after diaz-pac if juan hadn't lost to campbell and oscar didn't offer pac a fight.

arum loves pitting pac against mexicans/mexican-americans.
