Nick Diaz vs. Jeff Lacy BOXING

[rjj tszyu]

As shit as Lacy has become he will destroy ANYONE who is not a boxer at boxing. This might be the confidence boost his career needs!

That is my train of thought as well.

But, we could be wrong.

I mean, take a look at Nick's pro boxing record:

Nick Diaz - Boxer

Nick Diaz is one of the more accomplised boxers in MMA. Transfering that into a pure boxing match is another thing though.

Of all the MMA fighters to cross-over Diaz has as good a chance as any. With his previous boxing experience, albeit a short career, he would gave the like's of Lacy a good scrap.

Nick & Nate are two of my favourite MMA stars, like Bilbo, I just love their attitude, but most of all their style, heart and guts !

It wouldnt suprise me at all to see Diaz beat him.

Man Diaz will get knocked out by anyone marginally good. Lacy maybe shot but he still got that left hook. Diaz got dropped by Daley who isnt really a good boxer, hes got power but shit technique.

If Daley were to catch any boxer with them 4oz gloves on, he would drop them, he has stupid power in those hands.

I do take ya point that Diaz got caught, but put bigger gloves on Diaz, and bear in mind he would only be defending against punches, then his stance and defence would be alot different. If Diaz can get back up to KO Daley, then I have little fear he would take a one of Lacy's shots.

he probly would take one or two

at anywhere near the top level tho he would lose in a boxing ring i reckon seen as though it is his first fight, after 20 fights he may be able to hack it, he might start a little higher up the ladder than someone who has had no professional fight experience

it all depends on how near the top level lacy still is, i for one hope Lacy wins easily but i am a boxing fan

Im a fan of both sports, so can appreciate what a MMA fighter would have to do to make the transition, and vice versa.

Im not saying Diaz would win, not at all, but he did train boxing as his first form of combat, he just evolved into MMA. He has skills, the skills would need to be polished up, but as ya say, how far gone is Lacy now ? Now harm in trying ya hand at the sport if he feels he can mix it then why not

But to be quite honest, Diaz over rates his own boxing ability. Hes also talking about fighting Vargas. I havent seen anything from Diaz that tells me he would hang with a decent pro. Just coz you can outbox a bunch of guys who cant throw punches for shit (and I watch UFC all the time, even saw it live) doesnt mean you can beat someone who can do it against the best.

I reckon if he wants to fight a boxer than give him someone decent so he can take his beating and then go back to mma. The same as what Toney got from cotoure.

Ha, I do appreciate what ya saying bro, but to compare Toney's fight with Couture and Nick having a boxing match is apples and oranges.

Randy was never going to enter Toney's realm and stand and trade punches. Randy done what he had to do and take the fight to the ground.

Give him Kid Thunder, appease his ego, then send him to GSP for a proper fight
