In my opinion, Pacquiao will be too much for the easy to hit Diaz, mind you Manny's pretty easy to hit but, he has the much heavier hands here. Diaz stays in the box just a little too long and when Pacquiao rushes in the way that he does both fist a flying, Diaz will be an easy target.
Diaz steps straight back when he does step back and this style is tailor made for Pacquiao. Diaz has a decent left hook to the body which might slow Pacquiao down a little and he has decent power in his right hand.
Pacquiaos over all work rate is well known by now. I think that he punches just a bit harder than Diaz and this alone will be the biggest difference in this fight. Pacquiaos fight plan is simple, run his opponent over throwing hard lefts and rights.
Pacquiao stop Diaz in the 6th round.
The Freitas Diaz fight will be a barn burner. The biggest difference in this fight will be Freitas coming back with shots if and when he gets caught with some decent shots. These fighters both have power.
Freitas has been in with the better competition and I don't think Diaz hits anywhere close to the way Diego did so hurting Freitas badly won't happen, even when Diego faught Freitas, Freitas hand the mindset to come back with shots of his own. I also believe that Freitas is the better boxer puncher of the two.
Freitas beats Diaz via unanimus decision. Thanks for the question Brother.

I believe that Pac Man is too good an overall fighter and should win. I believe that Freitas will make a triumphant return to the ring and beat Diaz for the title. Good question sir!

Solis has a chance against Pacquiao. Solis is undefeated and has decent power. Everyone thinks Pacquiao will win but Solis is definitely a decent boxer.
I don't see how Diaz can beat Freitas. Diaz is great but has little power. Freitas by decision.
