Pacquiao is best fighter in the world today

LAS VEGAS — What Manny Pacquiao proved with his masterful knockout win over David Diaz on Saturday night was that he truly deserves being called the best fighter in the world today pound for pound.

Even Diaz’s trainer Jim Strickland had no doubts as to who should be given the mythical tag as the world’s best puncher regardless of weight.

"He impressed me a lot," said Strickland the day after Pacquiao blew away the pride of Chicago and snatched his World Boxing Council lightweight crown at Mandalay Bay. "He’s top-of-the-line."
