Tell you what... This kid losses some of that desire to be impetuous and uses his jab, he's going to get to the top of that p4p list.... he looked good condition wise and going through school and the same time. That is impressive!Quote:

I cant see Diaz getting anywhere near the top of p4p list, watching him last night i think shows he struggles when he is backed up he is not the same fighter on the back foot, hes a gutsy fighter but i think against the top guys he gets found out, great fight and effort though. I still saw the fat aswell around his hips and his man breasts were ever peresent. ;D
Diaz is a warrior! He is great for the sport, and he is one of the few fighters who is never in a bad fight.
J.Diaz is no doubt still has bright future in boxing.
But I think he didn't really learn that much from his fight with Campbell.
He got cut again by JMM. And again, Diaz lost his spirit.
I don't think Diaz lost his spirit when he was cut. Marquez took advantage of it.
Diaz is still very young and there is no shame in losing to Marquez. His future is still bright and everyone loses in their career. He went down, but he went down fighting...
A Pac-fan spouting completely bullshit? I just don't believe my eyes.Quote:

He was bothered by the cut, and it definitely inhibited his vision, but to say it made him lose his spirit is ridiculous. I gained a ton of respect for Diaz and the way he fought last night.
Edit: Like Spicoli said, if his spirit was so broken, why did he get up from the 1st KD? He could've easily taken a 10 count.
His spirit never left him,even when he was pulling himself off his face and yelling 'yeah' to the ref to continue.All heart,all pressure and an inspiration to up & comers inside and outside of the ring.I do think he is at the peak of where hes going in total skill.Frontal,vulnerable but will take the best of Champions to the very brink.Quote:

Diaz reminds me of Vargas, with the high guard but he is not as skillful, but he has the same heart.
Diaz at only 25 is already 34-2 (17 KO's), and he's also a part time student
and his resume doesn't fail to impress either...
Jose Miguel Cotto
Acelino Freitas
Julio Diaz
Nate Campbell
Michael Katsidis
Juan Manuel Marquez
(and from Freitas down are all back to back)
if that's not taking on the best around i don't know what is
Anyone that is discrediting Diaz's performance needs their heads examined, he gave every bit his all and went out on his sheild, seriously
what more could you want from him? He made an exciting fight, I had it pretty even until that last round. Diaz is pure class and shows exactly why he at one time held all those straps.
Juan didnt pull a Cintron or Judah when he got cut, Juan went out guns a blazing.......
Quoting Kellerman are we?? :rolleyes:Quote:

Like others say, you're avatar explains you're agenda. There is no shame in losing to guys like Campbell & particularly Marquez.
Gotta agree with everyone praising Diaz here - if you can hold your own against JMM at 25, even in defeat, then you are due some respect. He got a lot from me for the way he fought last night. There's no shame in losing to a future HoFer like Marquez.
