I can see him above Kess, Hatton.
I even have a tough time typing that he's P4P better then Pavlik.
Not now Mick I mean before the Campbell fight.

24 years old, 9 straight defenses. IBF, WBA and WBO lightweight champion, closest to a unified champ in the whole of boxing at that time.

How the fuck had Mijares done more, beat an overhyped Jorge Arce?


With Hatton and Marquez both losing their last fights, a case could have been made for an unbeaten Diaz to nip above them in the rankings.

Agreed hes slipped a few now, but any talk of him not being close to p4p before is just retropsective fudge talk. He had earned his spot, the only 3 belt world champ in boxing, unbeaten, and preparing for his 10th straight world title defense.

To say he wasnt close to p4p based on merit is just hating imo
