"I know that Manny is a great fighter.A legend with speed.But Lucas is at level of fighting legend, "said Diaz, who treated Timothy Bradley in two of the three fights against Pacquiao.
Unprecedented by fans outside the boxing world, the Argentine WBA welterweight champion has sworn that He's in the "He took a picture of history fighting against the megastar world boxing."
Diaz said: "At some point in the fight, they will trade because # & # They must do it. If Lucas falls on Pacquiao, it would hurt. I have never trained a guy who has so much power left and right [hands]. "
And no, he does not talk about that kind of single hit by Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012. Diaz said that Matthysse would jump at every angle to better usurp the legend of 39.
" Even If it hits you in the shoulder, anywhere, it will hurt you; he is a naturally strong human being, "said Diaz. "You hardly see a fighter like Lucas Matthysse."
