WBC president Don Jose Sulaiman has described Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao as the "best boxer in the world."
In a report posted on Philboxing.com, Sulaiman said following the Filipinos masterful performance during his showdown with David Diaz: "to me Manny Pacquiao showed himself to be the best boxer of any division in the world today."
It was Sulaiman who handed the green and gold WBC lightweight championship belt to the newly crowned champion after his ninth round demolition of Diaz last Sunday.
The WBC president who had predicted Pacquiao would win said "I've never seen him so perfect in throwing all of his punches. He was so intelligent to come in at exactly the right moment, completely dominating his rival with a speed which was the same when he was a featherweight. Manny is the best of the best."
Sulaiman said that like Pacquiao thought so, the fight should have been stopped by referee Vic Drackulich by the end of the sixth round.
He, however, gave Diaz credit for his courage and fighting spirit. "What a fighter," Sulaiman said, "My God he has a big heart, as very few possess."
On Pacquiao-Marquez III
Sulaiman, meanwhile, scoffed at a possible third fight between former super featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez and Pacquiao.
Pacquiao won the 130-pound division title from the Mexican in a close split decision win last March 15.
Sulaiman downplayed the possibility of a Pacquiao-Marquez trilogy stating that "Marquez decided to go to the minor leagues and fight for a different title."
He was referring to Marquez' title fight against WBO lightweight champion Joel Casamayor scheduled for September 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
