    FINALLY someone with a brain.

    All these fools thinking all Diaz has to do is drop to 130 and he'll become some monster. Its really foolish.

    Diaz is quite natural, and comfortable at 135... and hasnt fought at 130 since he was a teen. If he tried hard enough he could prob drop to 130, but I can guarantee that he'd be drained and uneffective at the weight.

    These simps think just because he doesnt have a ripped phyisique, that he doesnt belong at 135. I saw they really dont understand boxing.

    Diaz had himself a nice little run at 135 where he was able to beat guys by maintaining a tireless workrate for 12 rounds. He wouldnt be able to do that if he wasnt in world class shape.

    I swear..... some ppl have no idea what they're talking about.

    Another thing that ppl arent getting is that fighters with Diaz's style have a VERY short shelf life. Its hard to maintain that high energy, tireless workrate style for more than a few years. Especially when you lack natural power, and get hit as often as Diaz does. Juan has already peaked, and will never again be able to fight at the same pace he maintained 2-3 years ago. That has NOTHING at all to do with weight.
