        yeah cotto was in survival mode for half the fight.

        diaz kept plodding forward to the end.

        diaz fought as high as 147. he's one tough sob.

        plus pacquiao having to cut weight to 135 instead of barely cutting any weight at 140 and 147 probably lessened pacquiao's punches a bit.

            Oh shut up Tua. 135 was no problem at all for Pacquiao he made 138 after having breakfast and lunch. 130 was bothering him but when he moved up we couldn't stop hearing about how comfortable he was.

              Actually Diaz's defense was really good in that fight. His turtle shell helped him get to nine.
              yeah he caught a lot of punches with his arms.

              problem was pacquiao was throwing 100 a round.

              there was no resting against diaz. diaz kept coming forward.

              plus diaz fighting at 135 , he's more use to pac's speed than cotto or hatton.

              few are as fast as pacquiao but at 135 you got much faster guys compared to 140 and 147.

                did i say he had problems making 135?

                i sometimes argue with people because they don't believe me that pacquiao can still make 135.

                don't put words in my mouth because you misunderstand.

                pacquiao cut 2 lbs. in the cotto fight.

                pacquiao cut 12 lbs. in the diaz fight.

                cutting weight takes a little bit from you.

                  I think that 135 was comfortable for Pacquiao. He has added muscle and strength since then, and Roach said that they won't/can't go back to 135.

                  Manny has gotten bigger/stronger since he connected with Ariza.

                    But Pac has been accustomed to cutting 15, 16 pounds.

                      I agree David Diaz is tough MOFO, but i have to also add that PAC was not sitting too much on his punches during that fight ....

                      I remember after the fight some poster here and in other boards commented that PAC will be knockingout more of his opponnents if he was sitting more on his punches ...
