Why does everyone hate on David Diaz so much? He knocked out Santa Cruz and beat Erik Morales in a fight that could have gone either way yet everyone assumes he's pretty much the worst lightweight in the world ???Quote:

But David is just easy to put down and for some reason has few fans outside of Chicago.
I don't hate him.Quote:

He's easy to hit, not a big puncher, can be easily hurt and I see Khan blasting him to bits. That's all.
Call me crazy but I see D Diaz as the second best of the champs behind Juan. I reckon he'd smoke Katsidis, retire Casamayor and give Manny Pacquaio a good fight if that matchup happened.
He's very underratted imo. Not a great fighter by any means but he has tons of heart, reasonable power and constantly moves forward. He always makes for entertaining fights at least.
You're dreaming if you think Kahn can beat the Baby Bull.Quote:

I agree just because he beat a shot Graham Earl, that doesn't mean he can beat someone in the class of Juan Diaz. I think people are forgetting Khan's suspect chin.Quote:

Whens that then. When the Baby bull retires?
Juan Diaz is only 24. LOL
Have to say, i think Ricky hatton would of done a lot lot better if he had spared with Kahn before his Mayweather fight.
In fact i would of suggested Kahn to be Ricky Hattons main sparing partner. ;)
What did he say ICB. ::**Quote:

Khan turned 21 last weekend, has been a pro 2 years and had 15 fights.
With the potential improvement from Khan, to add to his obvious talent he could catch-up to Diaz pretty quick.
He could beat Mayweather in a 4 round fight, or something stupid like that.Quote:

Then again, ive been saying that about Floyd for the past few years. Still waiting....
I want to believe that Khan can break the mould and go for it this early in his career...but it's just not Warrens stamp is it?
