I no that the title asked "at lightweight."
But when he steps up to light welter we'll see him beaten comprohensively as i feel his volume punching will be less effective against bigger guys.

The simple answer: no.
Do you mean Thaxton?Quote:

I don't think there is much at 135 for him to overly worry about. He's king of the castle.
Spot on on "ono" I meant Thaxton... :)Quote:

Southpaw

Seasoned fighter I mean I really think he's got a chance at beating Diaz.
Well ono, that would be because Amir & Diaz are two styles that are worlds apart.Quote:

Yes, when pac moves up juan will be another good win for pac. juan doesn't have power and his not even bigger than pac. his pressure style will be his downfall against pac. the style to beat pac is the one jmm has. You just don't go at a fighter like pac you have to mix it up, juan will run into a wall of punishment against pac.
Guzman and Valero can also move up and beat juan.
At this very moment in time I don't see anybody beating a 100% Juan Diaz. I think some fighters such as Campbell can give Diaz a bit of problems but I don't see anybody beating him.
I don't give too many guys who stand and fight have that much of a chance unless there just a big puncher and catch him with something he doesn't see, maybe in between a combo. But more times than not he's gonna beat those type guys, he's rarely gonna be outbrawled.
I think a guy with good movement, good stamina, and the discipline to fight his fight and not give in and let Diaz impose his style has the best shot.
Diaz-Guzman would be interesting stylewise, personally not interested in it since there two of my favorites.
I'm not sure...but i cant wait to see them try.
