Nick Diaz vs. Jeff Lacy BOXING

This kid is supposedly in his prime, scared of no one, MMA has no one for him to fight, he is unhappy with his purses so now he want's to be a boxer? I have seen most of his televised bouts, he has some good handskill but different boxing dirty then professional boxing.

Maybe he would succeed nicely in Pro Boxing? I think if he is looking to make noise, he is attempting to show from day one he will be an issue to those holding titles then we do not call out Jeff Lacy or Fernando Vargas. How about a top ten contender or even a champion?

How would Nick fare against Bute, Ward, Pavlik, Pascal, Cloud or even Hopkins in a standup bout of hands? Can't slip them into a rear naked, can catch an armbar, no heel hooks.

Nick either fight or don't fight we need nothing less then a loudmouth who goes about fighting men past their best by years.
