I want to like Joseph Diaz but I can't forgive him for being an Olympian, proceeding to go 5 years now as a pro and he hasn't even fought for a world title yet.
Diaz is a solid fighter, but there's a reason he isn't fighting top guys yet. His boxing skills are above average, but they're not good enough to make up for his lack of power at the top level.
I like Diaz, but I think even someone like Gradovich could beat him. On a side note,whatever happened to the Mexican Russian?
He was brutally beaten down and stopped by Valdez, then went on to go life and death with nobodies in Russia, Gradovich is done, Diaz beats him with relative ease IMO probably even stops him.
