Distance and time, the main ingredients in reaching a point of clarity when contemplating emotionally charged issues. Four days after lightweight Juan Diaz starched Julio Diaz with an accumulated flurry of punches rarely seen in current day boxing and then calling out high rent super featherweight Manny Pacquiao, the commentary mill has slowed down to a crawl regarding the mouth watering match-up.
So with the boxing sobriety of ninety-six hours, it is time for me to break down the reasons why Diaz vs. Pacquiao is not likely to happen and Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Pacquiao II is.
My personal examination of the situation will of course be presented in Michael Marley?s favorite format, a simple grocery-like list?
