    Now I did say that Diaz was way overhyped with visible flaws, but I at least thought that he was mentally strong. He proved tonight that he is weak mentally and can be broken down. Congrats to Campbell; I thought he was going to get robbed with those **** judges

    The problem is the guy can't crack an egg. If he had more power he'd be a superstar. He's still exciting though.

    He was used to breaking guys down but any fighter with a decent beard and punching power could be a threat to him.

    He got abit more hype on these boards than he should.

    Some were calling him a ATG, and that hes just 1 step away from being considered the best lightweight ever.

    Man im a big Diaz fan STILL and i will have to say the cut and the way Campbell kept using his head was what took him out of the fight.

    However if you still think Pac can beat Diaz then good i hope your willing to bet on it.

    I'll bet on it (should it ever happen). I always put my money where my mouth is. I'm now more convinced that Pac ko's him. How the hell is Diaz going to keep Pac off him?

    I still think Diaz is a great fighter and fun to watch, but using the cut as an excuse is a poor excuse. Its what separates the champions from the contenders. It clearly got to his head (Campbell also) and he broke down mentally

    Pac is not Campbell, Campbell beats pac by KO.

    suddenly, the prospect of a pac-juan diaz matchup if pac wins against marquez is not enticing anymore. i am hoping that when they fight, pac will be a huge underdog and beating juan diaz will make pac look very great. now, i just want pac to fight either casamayor, campbell or the other diaz.

    I am right here. And last I checked, Diaz didn't go down and finished the fight on his feet.

    I still think Diaz beats Pacquiao at 135. Pacquiao fights NOTHING like Campbell. This would be like someone saying that Pacquiao can't beat Chris John because he drew with JMM.

    well, prob is after tonight the baby bull is now out of pac's radar. with this loss, he lost a shot at pac and the "big money" that comes with it. kinda disappointed since i was looking forward to this fight since it would've been a great one. now, all we can do is just speculate and argue in this forum who could've won between them.

    It is a poor excuse, he simply lost to a better fighter tonight. It shouldn't be an excuse for ANYONE.

    Now every Diaz fan is targetting Pacquiao, give it up he lost fair and square. Just because you guys are crushed doesn't mean you need to find someone to attack to.
