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

[-Boxzilla-]

d.diaz was easily the worst ... i also think casa at 37 woulda been a far superior name on his resume then d.diaz ... and his counter punching style woudla given pac more probs then diaz' no defense slow come forward style ...

[VERDUGO]

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.

Grandpa Casamayor was coming off a gift decision against Santa Cruz, then he took on and beat the punching bag Katsidis, now all of of a sudden he's the man at 135.
lol

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

Casa could outbox Pac.

Casa struggled against Kats and unofficially lost a clear decision to Santa Cruz. Pac works him at that stage.

Packy got two gifts against JMM. So what?

Katsidis isn't an easy fight for anyone btw.

Casa is a hof fighter. He was the real champ since he beat the last real champ Corrales.

Diaz was a paper champ.

Wasn't that clear. That was an ugly ass fight. Coulve gone either way.

And maybe.

But prime for prime Casa outboxes him.

Sta Cruz will definitely agree with this statement. LOL

Simple question.

When Pacquiao beat David Diaz, was he the worst titlist at that time?

In the division or in the sport?

In the division, yes Diaz was the weakest. Casamayor had the lineal and Ring title. And, was coming off a come from behind KO victory over top undefeated top 10 Michael Katsidis. While Campbell had the WBA, WBO, and the IBF title was coming off a great victory over Juna Diaz.

But, if you talking about in the sport of boxing. David was not the weakest. He was legit top 5 LW. Who was undefeated at LW. And, had a KO over Santa Cruz who was a legit top 10 fighter.
