Diaz has just had that crowd pleasing style with a couple of half decent wins where his volume and tenacity has seen him win. He's a good fighter, but it's no surprise to see him being in close fights with other merely good fighters.
I think 140 is getting more exciting by the minute, you got Timothy Bradley a fighter who's getting close to P4P rankings, Devon Alexander another top American fighter who looks to have the goods. Amir Khan an exciting young British fighter on the up and up.

And also.

Victor Ortiz
Mike Alvarado
Marcos Rene Maidana
Kendall Holt
Juan Urango
Nate Campbell

ETC.

You got some really good fights that could happen in the next year or so.
