Ask my friend Fernando Barajas how great of boxer Nick Diaz is.

He has a record of 6-2 as a pro boxer.

He beat up on both Diaz brothers pretty bad in Kings gym in Oakland a few years ago.

What Nick does in MMA works well, no denying that.

But is he a kindred spirit to some famous boxer from the 1800's and a great boxing talent ?

Hardly.
