I Lost All Respect For Juan Diaz: Now He Is Calling Out Ricky Hatton..

Diaz is trying to get paid, and Hatton is the biggest potential payday. Diaz has taken on numerous tough fighters to prove his worth and seems like it still isn't good enough. As soon as something bad happens, the fans will turn on you. Diaz needs to think about himself here and try to get paid.

 

I hope he gets it. Hatton would knock him out imo.

 

they have similar style of fighting xcept that ricky's a little dirty. i wanted to see them rumble in the ring.

 

This is what I'm talking about, the guy was a 3 time champion. He gets beat by a couple of tough fighters in the form of JMM and Campbell and fans want to throw him by the wayside and say he isn't proven. This is why these fighters should be make sure they leave the sport with money and their health. You always want to please the fans, but you should worry about yourself as well. If Juan can get Hatton, I say go for it. If he takes another "L" to someone like Bradley and only gets a decent payday, the fans will forget all about him.

 

Agreed completely.

But the bigger question here is whether Hatton can even make 140 anymore. Going off of fighting Paulie of all people at a catch, I can't imagine Diaz would be willing to fight Hatton at 143.

I doubt the fight happens.

 

You probably should choose one argument and stick to it.

Are you arguing that Diaz should be derided for alling out Hatton because Hatton is all washed up or that he has no right to call out Hatton because Hatton is too good and Diaz hasn't proved himself?

 

That's not what you said in your OP at all though.

Why would you 'lose' respect for someone for wanting the biggest fights?

Thats funny coming from a PW fan.
He seems to be able to call out anyone when he really is not very well known yet and you go on here saying he is being ducked.

A little double standard perhaps??

 

Wait, let me get this straight...

So a natural lightweight who was badly beat this year by a career featherweight, barely got past Malignaggi at LWW, calls out the former true champ of the division who KTFO the same Malignaggi just 9 months ago, and he's probably going to the UK to Ricky's hometown to brawl with this bigger, stronger guy...

...any you lose all respect because of this?

Just WTF is wrong with you?
