OK, That statement was made by me.(Don P) The reason I said that was because to be the undisputed champ at a weight class you have to own more than one portion of the big 4 weightclass' belt (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO), or at least that is what i believe the standard definition to be. Please correct me if I am wrong. If that indeed is the definition. Then Diaz beating Lakva Sim in 2004 ( fir the WBA) and by Diaz beating Acelino Freitas in 2007 (for the WBO), by definition or what i believe it to be, makes him the Undisputed Champ in that weightclass till someone beats him. So until Casamayor beats him , there is no way he wins that honor in my humble opinion. Again Thank you to everyone that did see the show, We greatly appreciate it.
The belts are meaningless. Have you not realize that? Aside from beating a shot Freitas, Juan Diaz record is pretty crappy. Not only that but Diaz seems to be avoiding Casamayor like the plague. How can you consider a fighter like that the true champion? Casamayor by all rights should be undefeated and is willing to face anybody. He also holds 2 wins over Corrales. A man who destroyed Freitas. Look I give you guys credit. And you seem to know some of your stuff. But it also seems like you guys need to watch a little more boxing.


You are correct in that the belts are meaningles. I agree with you completly on that, but I was looking for a definition most boxing fans can agree on. And thus the explanation I gave. And how can you give Casamayor credit for beating Diego Corrales(RIP) on the sole purpose that Diego Corrales "Destroyed" Freitas my friend? It is not us who needs to start watching boxing it is you my friend for Casamayor lost to Freitas in 2002. And that was no highway robbery, Casamayor was decisively beaten because he decided to try and add pressure to late in the fight when he was clearly dominated for the majority of the fight for back peddling.
