I never knew a gate keeper who was an undisputed champion and basically unified the division? Thats just a ****ed up statement lol . . Diaz is a great fighter
ok maybe i was a little harsh, but i think diaz got exposed, by a guy thats past his prime in nate campbell, and a naturally smaller man in marquez....i think he is a good fighter, but not great.....I think paulie is light years ahead of diaz in ring intellegence and boxing skills, diaz has to get paulie early and knock him down or paulie takes this, paulie only lost to 2 world class fighters.
ok they are, but compared to cotto and hatton, who are naturally 147/140 fighters...and are both better then nate campbell....and cotto is elite....marquez is a carear 126/130 fighter....i just think diaz is just not as good as originally thought, still a good solid fighter.
A) Dont expect Malignaggi to goof around with this fight- his last fight he got caught stuntin! B) This won't be a tune up so Paulie will come ready. C) Expect Paulie to stick to a gameplan. Paulie CAN box circles around a lot of top tier guys out there- he won several rounds against Cotto even! D) Diaz isnt going to knock out Malignaggi so don't even go there - cotto and hatton couldn't ... diaz wont be able to either!!
Amazing fight and a perfect one for Diaz' come back. Diaz is all business, even his come back fights are serious/risky ones, got to love the guy. Diaz by UD or late TKO. :deal :happy I just hope Diaz hasn't lost interest or desire because even in losing against Marquez he was actually making it very close and looked like he was winning. He's too young and has a lot of time to change all what happened.
Malignaggi will be running for his life as long as this fight lasts ... don't anyone think any different. No way Malignaggi can handle a Diaz who's coming off a devastating lost to JMM. Diaz is a naturally hungry fighter and he will be walking Malignaggi down like he stole something.
i personally think hatton is a better pressure fighter then diaz....so i think paulie has a better chance against diaz then he did against hatton.
Hmm... I'd actually go with Paulie for this one, he certainly has the ring smarts to beat diaz. I think his showing against hatton was a bit of a fluke anyway. Plus, Diaz does seem a bit small for jWW. This one will definitely go the distance (paulie doesn't hit hard but has a great chin!) . I say PM via SD!
How many guys like this has Diaz taken apart? I don't see how Paulie has a chance, Juan all the way in this one...
Exactly diaz looks FAT at 135, i agree with an earlier poster i wish he would go to 130, he could OWN that division.
Gotta give Paulie credit...Cotto, Hatton, Diaz...he wants to fight the best he can. But jesus he is gonna get mowed down.
Diaz is a BUM......he's a Lightweight who's........ FAT atsch Ha Ha Out of shape,stumpy legged,limited skilled,brawler just cos he won the first 3 rounds against marquez who stood right in front of him paulie will slap him all over and take his dinner money!!!!!!!! diaz movin up to 140 will make him fatter and slower and will get tired chasing paulie round the ring THINK ABOUT IT GUYS .......Diaz gets put on his arse by a wide uppercut by marquez but u think he's gonna stop paulie who cotto couldn't stop Hatton gave paulie everything in his arsenal and couldn't stop him or even knock him down once And paulie wasn't even fighting back???? But you think diaz will stop him........atsch
