All of those men should prepare eventually for another talented boxer to join their ranks as Diego Pacheco looks to have the potential to be as good or better than any of those listed above.
Pacheco's latest victory was a domination of Manuel Gallegos over four rounds that left the referee no choice other than halt the proceedings.
Gallegos entered the fight with one loss and drew in his last fight against talented prospect Richard Vanciclen on a ProBox card and wasn't a pushover for Pacheco on paper but when the fight started, it was clear that these were two different levels of fighters.
Gallegos steadily attempted to crowd Pacheco, who was able to easily sidestep the punches and rip Gallegos with counter shots that bounced off his chin at first but inevitably wore him down.
The end came in the fourth when Pacheco finally dropped Gallegos, who gamely rose and attempted to continue but was ripped with multiple shots along the ropes before the fight was mercifully ended.
One could argue that the stoppage may have been overdue with Gallegos taking punch after punch without a response.
As far as Pacheco, he improves with each higher step in opposition and he seems to be a star in the making.
I don't think Pacheco should fight any of the men that I listed above (other than perhaps Berlanga) quite yet but even now, I think he'd be competitive with any of them and might beat a few ( certainly Berlanga, maybe Munguia, and Plant) if he was matched with them now.
Give Diego Pacheco two or three more fights against opponents that might test him over the next year and he'll be ready for almost any at the top of division.
Pacheco might be that good.
