I know Diaz can handle himself in the ring. He is TOUGH, but that does not mean he is going to get the win. Let's be honest... He beat a mediocre opponent in Santa Cruz to gain the title and he fought an old, spent Erik Morales. He didn't look so hot against a mediocre opponent in Montano. I am not sold on this fight being a really TOUGH test for Pacquiao. It's a good fight to gauge his power at this weight. That's how I see it. David Diaz IMO is too damn raw and technically insufficient to really beat Pacquiao. And it's not like he has sledge hammers for fists. And he is not going to outlast the cardio machine in paquiao. Most likely scenario is that Diaz will try to swarm pacquiao. That just makes Paquiao's job even easier.
