Comments Thread For: Diaz: Pacquiao's Aggression, Speed Will Be Key To Win

[PAC-BOY]

David Diaz is a silver medalist to the Olympic Games and undeafeted at the time defended his title vs Manny, people that write HDKSAB are silly to the death. Manny gave him a terrible beating ruining his career and it's sad because David was a very good boxer with skills and balls.

That's funny cuz I think you said the exact same thing on another article yesterday. I guess we all repeat ourselves if we stay on one topic for too long. I suppose you have a point. It's just that using logical standpoint and using the history of their fights, I don't give Pac a good chance of winning. Of course anything could happen. I just see Floyd having the majority of the advantages is all, it just irks me how much diehard Pac fans think that Pac's gonna steamroll a guy like Floyd, who's never been remotely close to being steamrolled before. It's preposterous to me.

It's the first time I detailed the comparisons to Leonard/Duran 1 and 2. I give Pac a decent chance of winning but to define decent, in my observation I make it 60/40 in favor of Floyd. I would be very surprised if Pac could steamroll Floyd because I have not seen this happen to him all these years. One guy can have a great night and the other not a great night and then surprising things can happen. Pac would need to use in and out movement with flurries and not try to overwhelm Floyd to win. Floyd, counter, counter, and more counters to win.

Oh and I love the comparison to this fight to the Leonard - Duran fight. The styles are remarkably different just like back then.

Yeah, it just came to me last night how they do compare in some ways. But I see the 1980 Montreal Duran and the Leonard from either 1 or two, that is both those guys beating both Floyd and Pac. Those guys went FIFTEEN ferocious rounds in fight one. Not sure how Pac and Floyd would fair for those last 3 rounds in a brutal affair.

You guys love out of context spin to suit your agenda and you lose the most important point made , he picks Floyd to win .

Its like Ronnie asking Diaz and 2 Asians about Manny lol , be like asking Gatti and the Clan what they think of Floyd , lol .

This stuff is is getting too funny .

Talking about taking things "out of context". He said,"I just think mayweather at this point, until further notice, is the guy to beat, not the other way around."

Floyds fought southpaws before and looking back the only southpaw I can find that gave Floyd problems was Zab. Floyd frustrated Ortiz enough to the point where the hothead head butted Floyd. Handled Guerrero with ease. Beat Corley. So I don't think its the southpaw thing that bothers him. It might piss him off cuz it means he has to train more in order to prepare properly. The point made in the video about struggling to bring in quality southpaws for sparring doesn't apply. I'm sure Mayweather has had his mind on this for a long time and I'm sure he has the best southpaw sparring partners to his disposal.

he reason why I maintain that Floyd will win is because I've always thought the best way to beat Floyd, really the only way, is to knock him out early. I'm talking jump on him and stay on him. Don't even train for a 12 rd fight. I know it sounds ******, but that's the only way. Floyd gets stronger as the fight goes on, it happens every time. If it goes past like rd 6 or 7, Floyd already won in my mind. Manny needs to throw caution to the wind and go for it. That's why I thought '08 or '09 Manny beats Floyd. Now that he's not the same animal, I just don't see it. Floyd wins.

LMAO pacquiao is hands down 100 times the fighter they are. Zab has no heart, ortiz has no chin, no heart, no determination, chop chop is good not great, guerrero came up from lightweight, even his father just recently said that the ghost is now a full fledged welterweight, his only win was hype job berto. Floyd has never faced a southpaw that has the combination of speed, power, pressure fighter, doesn't gas, has the will, the determination and the heart of a champion.

And volume of Pac can outscore the less active, but timed punches of Floyd and the perfect counter-punching of Floyd can reduce the volume of Pac so you see, just in that circular increment, anything is possible. There are enough variables to all aspects of either fighter to propel one of them to a win. History is littered with guys like Pac beating guys like Floyd and guys like Floyd beating guys like Pac, otherwise, we just have them fight on paper and declare who is the best in every division and fighters would never have to fight. No outcome of the fight would surprise me. If I woke up the next day with my head crazy-glued to the carpet, then I would be surprised.

Great post! I Have Pac to win by TKO. Or JR by dec. Either way great fight. But I will not pay $89.00 to watch. I'll catch the replay.
