Former world lightweight champion David Diaz, who was outworked and knocked out by Manny Pacquiao last year has predicted a decision win for Manny in his super mega fight with Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico on November 14, 2009 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Having fought Pacquiao in 9 punishing rounds, Diaz knows very well what a Manny Pacquiao can do inside the ring notwithstanding the physical advantage of his opponent. Diaz was the bigger man as Pacquiao was only debuting in the lightweight division while Diaz has even fought at 140 lbs sometime in his career. On November 14th, Pacquiao will be fighting at welteweight, his second in his career, against Cotto who is a natural welterweight.
Despite the size advantage some people thought Diaz would use, Manny was obviously too fast and as strong if not stronger than Diaz that night. Diaz even joked in the post-fight interview that Manny was too fast that he thought Freddie Roach was in the ring hitting him too.
