Question

In no particular order:

- Juan Diaz

- David Diaz

- Edwin Valero

- Joan Guzman

- Rocky Juarez

- Nate Campbell

- Michael Katsidis

- Joel Cassamayor

- Juan Manuel Marquez

Answer 1

1. JMM - because this is what everyone wants to see.

2. Joel Casamayor - stylewise, this is interesting to see.

3. Nate Campbell - If Pacquiao wants most of the belts

4. Edwin Valero - interesting fight, but Pacquiao will win.

5. David Diaz - I only put Diaz because he has a belt.

the rest such as Juan Diaz, Guzman, Rocky, Katsidis has nothing to offer to Manny, it is a high-risk, low-reward fight for either one of those.

Answer 2

1.Micheal Katsidis(katsidis has alot of heart, big puncher, and it would  be a classic but katsidis not the best fighter but this i would like too see the most)

2.Edwin Valero(2 big punchers trading bombs)

3.Juan Diaz(all out slugfest great fight)

4.Nate Cambell(best fighter but not the best fight)

5.Joel Casamayor(is maybe the toughest challlnge but not a young and strong slugger)

6.MArquez(already saw two great fights i thought they were even througout and i dont think a third fight would change)

7.Guzman(guzman is a boxer and would get ooutpointed)

8.David Diaz(unknown but they will fight and pacqiaou will destroy him)

Answer 4

#1 Joel Casamayor

#2 Juan Manuel Marquez

#3 Nate Campell

#4 Juan Diaz

#5 Michael Katsidis

I just rank these guys because i only seen 1 david diaz fight and never seen Joan guzman fight or valero. These 5 fighters i would  most wanna see fight Manny. Well we already seen JMM twice and manny turned down the rematch. Mostly I would wanna see Manny fight Casamayor cause i think he can beat manny , and would be an exciting fight. This Valero kid i wouldnt mind seeing either I heard he has knocked everyone out but I hear they are all bums. I like Katsidis a lot he is a tough kid that would be a very exciting fight. I think  a lot of the guys at 135 can beat manny , especialy the 5 i listed. David Diaz will lose , and i think out of all of them Casamayor has the best chance, followed by Nate Campell  , then Juan Diaz , then Katsidis.

Answer 5

1.  Joan Guzman- Guzman would have no problem going up to 135 to fight Pacquiao because Guzman comes into his fights in the 140s.  I think that Guzman can beat Pacquiao and I think that Bob Arum (Manny's promoter) knows that- after Guzman beat Humberto Soto, Arum started making all these excuses as to why he wouldn't match Guzman with Manny.  He tried to say that Guzman ran, but the fact of the matter is that Guzman handled Soto easily and since Soto is Arum's fighter, he got pissed and tried to distnace himself away from a dangerous guy like Guzman who has a very good chance of beating Manny.

2.  Joel Casamayor- Casamayor is the true lightweight champion of the world and if Manny wants to be a champion at 135, then he has to go through him first.  The belt that David Diaz owns was wrongfully stripped from Casamayor and it is only a paper title.  Casamayor is the lineal and true lightweight champion,and after his great knockout over Michael Katsidis he deserves a good payday against someone like Pacquiao.

3.  Juan Manuel Marquez- they fought a draw the first time that could have gone either way, Manny won a split decision in their second fight that could have gone either way, and there should be a third fight to determine if Pacquiao is really the better fighter.  Marquez has stated that he would move up as high as Manny wants to fight him because he feels that he was robbed twice.  I would like to see a third fight even though I thought Pacquiao won both of their fights.

4.  Nate Campbell- After beating Juan Diaz, he showed that he is a force to be reckoned with by anyone.  Pacquiao is like Juan Diaz, meaning that they are pressure fighters.  When you put pressure on a pressure fighter, they don't like it- this was shown when Campbell beat Diaz by backing him up all night and putting constant pressure on him.  Manny lost to Erik Morales because Morales put effective pressure on him and backed him up.  I think that the first Morales fight proves that Campbell has a very good chance at beating Pacquiao.

6.  Edwin Valero- Valero has never been taken the distance in any of his fights, but he has hardly ever been seen by anyone because he can't fight in most of the U.S. due to a head injury that happened a long time ago in one of his fights, so he cannot fight in most U.S. states.  He is very agressive and obviously has good power- he would be a worthy opponent for Pacquiao at 130 or 135.

7.  Juan Diaz- Despite the loss to Campbell, I still believe that he could be effective against Pacquiao if he backs him up.  However, if DIAZ ends up the one being backed up, then it could be Nate Campbell all over again.

8.  Michael Katsidis- If he fought Pacquiao, it would be a very good entertaining fight that would most likely not go the distance.  I would favor Pacquiao over him because Manny is a southpaw and Katsidis has trouble with them (Casamayor).  However, if Katsidis can overcome that, then he stands a fair chance at beating Manny despite the loss to Casamayor because Katsidis is a good pressure fighter.

9.  David Diaz- I really don't think that he stands a chance against Manny because he is not skilled enough, but he is a very tough and very game guy who always comes to fight.  It will be interesting to see how Manny fares against him in his first fight at lightweight.

10.  Rocky Juarez- I don't even want to see him fight Manny because he has been so disappointing in ALL of his high profile bouts.  I thought he lost to Zahir Raheem, but he got a close decision in his hometown.  Then he lost to Humberto Soto, lost twice to Marco Antonio Barrera, and barely beat Jose Hernandez in a fight he should have dominated.  He hasn't even fought at lightweight, and thats where Manny is headed, so thankfully this fight will not occur.
