David Diaz better chin, tougher than Hatton and Cotto?

Pacquiao was moving up in weight and was trying new things. The Diaz fight was the first fight I had saw less off balance after hrowing punches. I didn't see him leave himself open for counters as much. I saw him hook off the jab an duse his right hand a lot more then in previous fights. 135 against Diaz was Pacquiao's coming out party....To me seeing him at that weight he looked great he put on a boxing demonstration for the first time I saw him do it...Regardless o fhi sopponent he gave us a real show....Diaz has a great chin but he also has a ton of determination....LeftyComment

i think pac was comfortable at 135. i think he can still make 135 if needed.
i don't know about accustomed to 15-16 lbs.
he was accustomed to about 10-12 lbs. or so though.
it still takes a little bit from you cutting 10-12 lbs. though not much but a little.Comment

if you guys watch the fight again. PAC fought diaz differently compare to his other opponents. Notice Pac ddidnt lunge forward as much and use his forward momentum for extra power. But instead Pac just box Diaz ear off. Diaz is so stationary, a Pac boxer is more than enough for Diaz. With that said thats how Diaz survive till the late rounds.Comment

Arithmetic:
Morales: 144-129 = 15 pounds
Marquez: 145-129 = 16 pounds

"Manny was having a lot of trouble making 130 lately," Roach said. "He was starving himself to do it and that made him a little weak. Then he'd overeat after the weigh-in to compensate. He gained 15, 16 pounds after the weigh-in before the last (Juan Manuel) Marquez fight. That kind of extra weight makes you sluggish.Arithmetic:

Tua is right. Pacquiao had to cut a hell of a lot of weight to make 135 as well.
He was 147 on fight night.
Pacquiao at 130, would come to fight at 146Comment
