    Cockroach is talking out his ass, as usual. He doesnt really believe that shit. Manny would have zero chance of beating Oscar, and everyone(including Roach) knows this. Freddie is blowing smoke.

    Roach does probably however believe that Manny can beat Hatton, and after Ricky's last fight, I wouldnt discount it.

    But DLH-Pac is a pipe dream!

    Manny will end up fighting Hatton(provided Ricky gets by Paulie) and DLH's last fight will be a beating at the hands of Cotto.

    i'd take herman ngjoudo or whatever his name is to knock pacquiao out.

    i'm not even 100% sure that manny gets past diaz. diaz is a big dude.

    Diaz is tiny. He is sort of stocky, but he is like 5'4 or so. Morales made him look small.

    But, I do agree that Pacman is going to struggle with him.

    Yeah, but Pac is 5'5", so he doesn't much of a height advantage, and Diaz is stockier. I think Pac will win, but it will be a very close fight as you said. If Diaz takes Pac's power well, I wouldn't be surprised if he's able to outwork him and get the nod in a close one. Of course, Pac could very well catch him with a blazing fast left hand and get him out of there. In the last few weeks, I got reminded pretty brutally that nothing is a sure thing in boxing...

    Nah, you can't outmuscle Pac, he's a beast. Diaz may be stockier but Pac has the more powerful legs and punches. Easy work for the Pacman.

    Morales coming off a destruction by Manny almost beat Diaz. I think Manny is just on a whole different level and will beat Diaz pretty easily. I can see Diaz landing something big and winning by KO though, but I don't think it's going to be that close if it goes to the cards.

    Oscar would slaughter Pac it's just a step to far for him.

    exactly!

    I don't see how Diaz has any advantage over Pacquiao.

    The guy was fighting at higher weights than 135 because he was a fatass he admitted he had a horrible diet. He is now where he is supposed to be.

    Diaz faced the wors possible version of Morales and got a razor thin decision. But after the fight Diaz looked like he got jumped by 5 dudes. :lol:

    I think Pacquiao stops Diaz even if it is by cuts. Diaz swells up horribly.

    Diaz's ability to take shots will only give him a longer beating. he is not gonna beat Pacquiao in any category.
