Malignaggi vs. Juan Diaz AKA Battle of the feather fists...

If Pauli can establish a jab and move, he could edge out a decision against Diaz.

What Diaz lacks in power in regards to Cotto, he makes up for in activity. But still, I have to think that if Pauli could handle the preasure of a Cotto who was soon to move up in weight like he did, that he could find a way to beat Diaz.

 

Malignaggi by UD

His jab, better overall speed, and lateral movement being the keys.

 

Malignaggi/Diaz is another scenario folks. Take note that Paullie canbox pretty well. He can fight while moving in all directions and tha fact that he is a natural 140 lber . . . I can see him sneaking out a decission win against the Baby Bull. :yep

 

Diaz by late round TKO or Malignaggi by SD.

 

malignaggi ud.

 

Are you calling Juan Diaz "feather fisted"?? You can't be serious?

 

Diaz cannot throw a bomb...he throws arm punches but those arm punches are solid shots. He does not have serious power but he makes up for it with accuracy and speed.

 

Disagree 100 percent. Those shots he was hitting Julio Diaz with were not arm punches. Give me a break. This is a silly thread. He didn't knock Freitas out with "arm punches."

 

I think Paulie would beat Juan Diaz is a really good fight but I think Paulie style is all wrong for Juan but it would be a really good fight between two really good young champions.

 

The reason Cotto lost rounds was due to not throwing enough at some points in the fight. His stamina at 140 was certainly an issue. Juans work rate is phenomanel, and I think he would have the goods to eventually get inside and just beat Malignaggi from this position. Malignaggi is fairly one dimensional, and unlike Floyd doesn't really feel comfortable fighting from close quarters. Juan Diaz UD.

 

Diaz isn't feather fisted. He throws his punches hard, he just doesn't have natural one punch KO power like a Trinidad or Tszyu. Still not feather fisted though.

 

He didn;t knock Freitas out at all.

 

really i thought you only dated Black guys :hey :hey :hey

 

I understand what your saying but Cotto not throwing enough in that fight was due to Paulie Jabbing and moving around. The thing that Juan does wrong is that the when a fighter throws he takes it and then he throw his fast combo's. I think this would be a really good fight but I think that Paulie style is just the right style to beat a fighter like Juan Diaz.
