Wow....I really thought that Pacquiao-Diaz was going to be a close, tough fight. Boy, was I wrong. Pacquiao destroyed Diaz. Honestly, I thought Pacquiao looked in the best condition I've ever seen him. He looks stronger as a lightweight, and definitely did not lose any of his speed. Geeeez. Manny, I'm sorry for having doubts.

For those of you who missed the fight and want to see it....here you go, all 9 rounds. ALL 9 ROUNDS ARE WORTH WATCHING...SERIOUSLY. I love how the commentators, at the beginning of the fight talk about how Manny "at 29 years old, may have seen his best years already" but by Round 2 they are comparing his performance to Muhammad Ali. That's right, Manny, show 'em.
So, anyway, for those of you interested, feel free to watch......

I like the talk about a possible Pacquiao-Hatton fight. Hatton is strong but if Diaz couldn't get over Manny's speed and Hatton was embarrased by Mayweather's speed....Hatton better turn down that offer.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Marquez-Pacquiao III either.
