I'd forgotten about this guy...probably will never be a real champ but he sure is entertaining.

Yeah, you know someone is going to get knocked out when he fights. I still can't believe he once referred to himself as "the white Sugar Ray Leonard" (I think it was Leonard).

He needs to stay away from bigger guys who can punch. Other than that he'll be alright

Tough kid who is never in a dull fight, but I don't like the way he sounds. I hear some slurs in there. Not good. But he is one entertaing guy!

He's NABF lightweight champion now. I watch him lost to The Ghost Guerrero, he was really pressuring and bringing the tempo until he was ko'ed. He's good

I like watching Litzau fights. He has a lot of talent, can bang and takes chances. When you take chances you sometimes get KO'd, but I always appreciate his effort to give boxing fans a good fight.

I hope he protects his health though. Some boxers give a little too much.

He's a good guy.Fights his azz off but will struggle on the next level.Lots of fluctuation at lightweight so could be fun.Litzau/Diaz would be great tv

If he's moved along the Escobedo path he'll be alright, fight some of these older fighters on the slide.

I hope you meant Julio or David; Spicoli cause I think at this stage the Baby Bull would slaughter him. But your right it would be must see TV.

Barrios would be a good option imo

They found his weak chin and he'll have to learn how guard his weak chin better. He's an exciting fighter who lacks a granite chin.

"The American Boy turned out to be an actor. His defense has more holes than a spaghetti colander and any belt he holds claim to is easily sntached from around his waist by anyone with a punch.

Amen.

The times he has gotten knocked around were rather vicious.

Haven't seen him in a while, but I thought he was a hot dog, one of those guys who look real good when they're in there prancing around against someone on the downside, or a journeyman or whatever.

He was always a guy I just love to see knocked on his ass.

He is a classic example on why the Warrior concept needs to be thrown out the window. Litzau has been on the verge of emerging past being a prospect and into something more and leads in fights but will get caught and knocked out because instead of boxing like his corner tells him to do he goes in there and tries to fight. Maybe he gets the respect of announcers to say thats what "a champion" would do. But look how far it's gotten him...

Just because you do things other people say a "champion" would do doesn't mean you'll ever become a champion. If he boxed more often and stopped trying to slug it out so much he may have had a title right now. Or a least would have had one. But its his desire to be a "warrior" that holds him back. He got all the talent in the world but he throws it away and leaves himself open to stupid mistakes and thats why he'll never go so far, not until he fixes that.

So is that your greater calling? Is that why you go so far out of your way to protect so many boring fighters? I see.

Warrior mentality and people that watch boxing only for that is what I have problems with. How fans can so quickly call someone a pussy or something when they don't continue fighting when they want to take credit away yet will defend if another does it and then call out fighters for not being "warriors" and judging them. I've covered this many times and will probably do a vid on it.

I don't mind it I just hate when people think that fighters have to be "warriors" to be successful when it's not what boxing is about to take everything your opponent throws just because you can. Litzau has more tools then that but he refuses to utilize them because he wants to stand and trade, it may get him 'respect' of his peers but thats all it will get him. Look at someone like Meldrick Taylor and what happened to him.
