For the purposes of this poll, take the 2006-2009 version of Juan Diaz who battled Marquez, lost to Campbell, and beat Diaz, Freitas, and Katsidis. How would he fare if you matched up that version against the current lightweight division?
Hed be competitive against them all no doubt, but i think hed beat : Isaac Cruz in a slugfest. Kambosis in a slugfest. Zepeda in a compubox breaking fight. Garcia UD Martin SD. And come up short against the elite 4.
