It was the best Manny Pacquiao performance I've seen since he knocked out Morales in their second fight, and possibly since he beat down Barrera back in '03. It was like he was channeling Marquez a bit in this fight. His hands were fast as all hell, but his speed seemed more under control. I've never seen him rip combinations like that before, ever.

I hear Arum wants Manny to defend his title in November against Edwin Valero, who would move up from 130. After that though, I want him to fight the winners of Casamayor/Marquez, Campbell/Guzman, and Diaz/Katsidis, in any order, before he starts thinking about fighting Hatton.

If he keeps fighting like this though, we could very well be seeing one of the all-time greats entering his peak. I'm still in awe right now.
