Lacy - Diaz

[Snakey]

Im not sure whether Lacy does hit harder than anyone in MMA...he hasnt knocked anyone out in a while. No doubt Wlad Klit would hit harder than ANYONE in MMA, put 4 ounce gloves on him and see the damage that would be done. The question is does Diaz hit hard enough with bigger gloves?

Interesting matchup if it happens. On recent form I'd take Diaz by one sided decision. Wouldn't surprise me if the referee stops it in the middke rounds.

It's a bit sad to see that some boxing diehards are still deluded about the quality of fighters in MMA. Diaz is a dangerous fighter, and when this happens I expect him to be too fast, too big and have too much in the tank for Lacy, who infairness should be retired by now.

I personally have watched MMA since UFC 1. I have watched MMA wayyyy before it was the hip popular cool thing that it is now. I like MMA a good deal, but I love boxing. I have long trained at an MMA gym, I have a good deal of respect for mma fighters, but Nick Diaz is just not a quality 10 round professional boxer. He simply does not have the experience, the power, or the skill in boxing.

Club fighters tear Nick and Nate Diaz up at Kings Boxing Gym in Oakland, CA.

Thats a fact.

You for real Bilbo? On recent form what form has Diaz got he is not a boxer?? Lacy maybe shot to pieces but he is an ex world champ who is still only what 31/32? I would put the house on someone like Tony Dodson an average past it British top ten fighter to beat the shit out of Nick Diaz. Lacy will beat the shit out of him one million percent.

[Snakey]

I think Diaz gets some false confidence out of the fact he spars with Andre Ward and he claims to be able to get the better of him occasionally. When in actual fact I heard Ward just plays with him.

How on earth can you know? Do you know every fighter in MMA? Do you know the level of there power? You can't possibly make accusations like that without the facts. We would have to do a some form of power test to see if that would be true. It's just crazy.

Guys you wanna put this argument to bed? ok....We can all agree tat anderson silva is much better striker than nick diazo..correct? ok go watch his boxing match, he looked like shit against a shitty opponent, now watch how diazo is gonna look, i feel like this fight will have a positive effect on diaz mma carreer thou, he will sharpen up and be close to a real boxer because thats what most guys are lacking in mma, and please don't compare paul dally to lacy, the guy is NOT a good boxer, he is a good puncher, he knows how to throw punches, he does not know how to box...now if diazo has fought lacy a while ago, he would have got knocked the fuck out, but now i think lacy will just win a decision or maybe plant him a good one a few times.

I seriously don't know what drugs some people have been taking mate, especially Bilbo

Bilbo is a big Nick Diaz fan so I think that is clouding his judgement.

Dont get your panties in a bunch mate. But lets be serious...you really think that Overeem, Brock Lesnar, Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velazquez could hit harder than Wlad. Some of these guys couldnt get knock outs with 4 ounce gloves, Wlad gets them all the time with 8 ounces gloves. What the fuck does that tell you? The hardest puncher I just mentioned would probably be JDS and he couldnt even finish Roy Nelson in a fight that was mostly standing. What do you think Wlad would of done to Roy Nelson if he landed repeated punches with 4 ounce gloves? What your saying is like...Do you know every boxer in the world, they may have better ju jitsu or wrestling you just dont know. Well lets work on whats more likely, a guy whos sport is to punch and has an extremely high knockout record with it is probably going to be better at it then someone whos sport is to punch, kick, wrestle, grapple (ju jitsu).

Most MMA fighters dont even have a proper boxing stance, they have wider stance and are more square so they have a better chance of stopping a takedown. Even Dana White says that boxing is completely different. Next thing your going to tell me is that these guys could of hit harder than Mike Tyson in his prime.

Im not even anti MMA, I buy every PPV, Ive seen the UFC live...i like watching it, I am a MMA fan. But lets be real: boxings hardest puncher would punch harder than MMAs...boxers technique is way better than an MMA punchers.

Also, Wlad is knocking out people who know how to defend punches. Put any of Wlads championship knockout/stoppage victims in with any of those MMA names under boxing rules with 10 ounce gloves and watch how powerfull their punches are

Also the other thing is...define punching power. Say we measure Junior Dos Santos's punching power, if he loads up a massive hook...and I mean brings it right back to the point it would be way too obvious to use in a fight and it measures at an incredible amount of power do we still count it? Wlad punches powerfully with good technique, MMA fighters have horrible technique. They dont know how to use their hips when punching and their stance is too front on to carry any real power. The 4 ounce gloves is what makes theirs punches powerful, if they had to use 8 ounce gloves without swinging like a rusty gate theyd lose a shit load of force.

They have the appropriate stance for the sport they are in. I think when Diaz boxes he is pretty likely to adopt a boxing stance no?

You are arguing against your own point. It's like arguing that you can run faster than a runner when he's running 26 miles and you're running 100 metres.

Chances are good that if the marathon runner was sprinting with you he'd run at a different pace.
