Did anyone see Pacquiao's fight against David Diaz on Sat/Sun?

 

It was a phenomenal performance, winning every single round before knocking Diaz out in the 9th with a short left cross. Fair play to Diaz in sticking at it but he get absolutely battered, suffering a brutal cut in the first couple of rounds and then two huge bruises on his other eye.

 

Pacquiao is now a 4 weight world champion and is even talking of moving up to light-welterweight and maybe fighting Ricky Hatton. That would be interesting!

 

This fight made a mockery of Amir Khan's declaration, albeit before the Gomez fight, that he wanted to fight the winner of Pacquiao and Diaz. It was abundantly clear the Pacquiao is a class above at the moment and I'm not sure Khan will ever reach that level. I think Khan has all the technical ability but not the chin to withstand the constant barrage of punches that would come his way.

 

Enzo Macarranelli has his first fight since losing to David Haye in a couple of weeks, with Audley Harrison on the undercard!!!

I think if manny was to fight the Ricky he will end the hitmans career.....different class and I am a massive hatton fan.

I'm not so sure. I've yet to watch anyone who can live with Hatton at light-welterweight and I think it would be a weight too far for Pacquiao.

 

Granted he took Diaz apart, but Diaz is not in the same class as Hatton. He is far too one-dimensional, I know that has been labelled at Hatton but he's far from that, and Pacquiao just picked him off everytime he came in.

 

In his last few fights Pacquiao has struggled as the rounds went on and the deluge of punches Hatton would throw, at a greater power than Pacquiao has yet experienced, would see him in deep water by the mid to latter stages of the fight.

 

Pacquiao had 9 rounds of total domination before he stopped Diaz, he won't have anything like that amount of control over Hatton and with Hatton being a bigger bloke with more punch resistance I just don't see Pacquiao having sufficient power to stop him.

 

I think this could be a redundant point anyway as Hatton will fight Malignaggi next before a last fight against the soon to come out of retirement again Mayweather Jr.

 

Interestingly, Pacquiao's next fight is rumoured to be against Edwin Valero. Valero used to hold the world record for longest sequence of first round knockouts, winning his first 18 or 19 fights this way before someone lasted 2 rounds! He's won 23/24 fights and everyone by knockout.

 

In fairness not many of them have big names as he was banned from fighting in the US due to a blood clot after a bike accident (which happened years ago). He's signed to Golden Boy Promotions and has been granted a licence in Texas I think. Apparently he's been sparring with Shane Moseley and been very impressive. Really looking forward to that one - Nov 8 I've heard.

After his appearance at Wrestlemania Mayweather is apparently keen to do more Pro-wrestling stuff. Personally i really hope not as he can't cut a promo for shit, he's so wooden it makes me cringe.

Hmm, think the $$$ might have something to with that.

 

He'll 'come back' to fight De la Hoya, retire, then 'come back' to fight Hatton at Wembley or Croke Park - too much money on offer not to. Plus 2 relatively comfortable fights for the legend.

the money won't be quite that big, what he was touted to be getting for 'mania was about 4 times what he actually got, plus he's have to do a damn sight more work as a WWE employee than he'd be used to

I'm sure it would be a whole lot easier though!

not really he'd be expected to be in ring at least 2/3 nights a week, plus other assorted PA's and promotional guff.

 

whilst not as physically punishing as actually being punched every 4/6 months he's still going to be under more continuous physical demands.

Cotto would beat Mayweather IMO.

Mayweather practically lives in the gym, he'll hardly break sweat doing this.

 

No disrespect but I'm not talking about wrestling anymore, it's utter wank.
