Diaz did not look like himself at all tonight. Did anyone tell him that his opponent has only 5 knockouts? Juan kept stepping back instead of coming forward more. Paulie moved, but was there most of the time. Juan just looked like he was not into the fight. Yes, he would be in serious trouble with any of the top lightweights, so he should drop down and maybe someday get a big payday with Juanma or Gamboa.
Move back down in weight... ****, with all the extra flab he carries around he might be able to make 130... that's where he should've been fighting at all along anyway.
dont make me laugh Benitez crucifies and KTFO of any version of Diaz and its not even close, how can you even make this comparison? Diaz needs to take his conditioning seriously and take his chubby devoid of muscle tone ass down to 130 and maybe he can compete at the top ten level there.
He's saying Wilfred now (in his current nearly brainless state) would beat him. Real sad about El Radar....such a tremendous talent.
He should fight Joan Guzman at 135, Guzman coming from a beating against Fueka, and Diaz losing against Malinaggi, why not? should be good.
Would be an interesting fight. I'd like to see it although I doubt HBO would support Guzman again after all of his issues with weight, poor performances, struggles so on and so forth. If GBP and Top Rank can work out a deal, I think David Diaz would be a solid opponent to test out Juan Diaz.
I like this matchup except I also feel that Joan Guzman is not a 135 lber, and should move down to 130 lbs. Guzman just doesn't have the power at that weight to create a great legacy for himself, and secure a HOF spot.
