Is Diaz too strong for Marquez?

Diaz has a non stop attack and everything but his lack of power holds him down, Marquez by UD.

I'm a Marquez fan, so it's sometimes hard for me to be unbiased making calls on his fights. I wrote some columns about him early on in his career, saying I believed he would beat either Morales or Barrera (they were the top guys at that time; Naseem wasn't a consideration - a young, hungry Marquez would have killed him which is why he was hiding/running from him) so when he came to Vegas to meet Medina for the title, Top Rank invited me to meet him, as a way of saying thanks for the early press. What has always impressed me about him is his text book combinations, and not-so-textbook combinations - especially the way he sometimes (less these days) leads with right uppercuts followed by double left hooks. A thing of beauty to a boxing fan. I was concerned the latest move up in weight would be his downfall, as I believe his lack of power was the only thing that kept him from greatness. He has the other skills - jab, footwork, counter punching, decent speed, ring intelligence, etc, but I always think he was a hair light in power. But he looked OK against Casamayor; albeit it an older version of Casa, but still a guy who Castillo, Campbell and Corrales couldn't KO. Could it be the move up helped? Is he a little stronger? His is an excellent counterpuncher, and I believe his skill in that area is the key for him to get by Diaz and his bull rushes. I think the odds on this one are correct, Marquez -140; they should go higher by fight time so bet now if you're going to.

If Marquez survived Manny's assults, Diaz ain't shit Plus, Diaz doesn't have much power anyways True but it is a different style. Pacquiao does his work in flurries and on the outside. Diaz bodies up and sticks his head in your chest.

I don't know, I've been wondering how Marquez would deal with a lightweight who uses his size and strength to his advantage, his fight with Diaz should answer that question.

i am a diaz fan but he has no power. i love his constant non stop attack but he has no power in either hand. i got marquez in this one. Yeah I agree. I wasn't much so speaking on his power. Moreso his constant nonstop attack .
