What happened to Juan Diaz?

[HattonTheHammer]

If diaz was english he`d now be mocked on here as an average fighter who`s been found out (completely true)

Diaz is a good fighter, just not that good. Paulies a quality fighter. Diaz isnt all of a sudden "washed up"

He`s a good fighter than can go on to win world titles at light/welter - just please stop with this "he`d beat marquez/hatton" shit. If you honestly believe that you just dont know very much about boxing!

there is nothing wrong with diaz. he is what he is! and to say he wasn't that good to begin with is preposterous because as lightweight champion he did have seven successful defenses, which by today's standards, is pretty impressive. the problem with diaz is he's a one dimensional fighter. he loves to engage toe to toe. paulie's style was all wrong for him. for one, he's flatfooted, has no lateral movement and is just there to slug it out. if he goes back down to lightweight he might have a better chance to win a title there. too bad he has very little power because just imagine if he did have alot of power, he would be devastating!

i think for diaz to be a top light weight again he has to beat a good lightweight, such as ortiz, maidana, khan, rematch with marquez

[milmascaras1]

ortiz, maidana, khan are jr. welterweights. only marquez is a lightweight. all of these fighters would beat diaz. he needs to fight a top ten lightweight before fighting for a title in that division first.
