Chicagoan David Diaz will be a huge underdog when he steps into the ring with the Philippines’ Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night, but he’s talking like a guy who exudes confidence.
Speaking at a press event yesterday where the reporters were much more interested in talking to Pacquiao, Diaz said this to Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review Journal:
“If I were Manny Pacquiao, I would be concerned about my will. I will be there the entire fight, and I will stay there the entire fight.”
Diaz isn’t talking trash about Pacquiao — he also said,”He’s done a lot for boxing. I just became champion” — but he is talking like someone who has a lot more confidence in himself than just about anyone else has in him.
