Juan Diaz vs Edwin Valero 135 WBC Belt

c'mon shadey....you've already branded him legit? he hasnt fought anyone He showed me more in 1rd knocking out Pitalua than Diaz has shown me winning 3 belts. You can say this and that about Valero's speed or lack thereof...and his opposition but he proved to me he actually does have excellent technique and knowledge to go along with that murderous punching power...and that is a more dangerous combination than anything i've ever seen out of Juan Diaz.

it all depends on whether or not diaz can handle valero's power. I would risk it if I were diaz's manager

I personally think Diaz pounds the piss out of Valero. Valero is very offensive minded, but Diaz has a good chin, is faster and will overwhelm him IMO. At this point I consider Valero a prospect, but not on Diaz's level.

Valero!!! Diaz solely relies on his punch output! After the KO loss to JMM, he'll be on defensive mode once he feels Valero's punch! KO in 7.

Edwin has fought a bunch of rice burner japs. He really hasnt fought any one of high caliber.

unless the JMM fight took something out of him he would annihilate Valero two different levels of boxer. in my opinion.

Diaz stood toe to toe with Michael Katsidis and he is a slugger, and like stated on another thread, he was doing well against marquez but just ran out of gas. I hope they make this fight happen.

Valero. Diaz is tough but gets hit and Valero can REALLY HIT! Diaz may or may not be better but he gets stopped early to mid rounds against Edwin Valero

i'm still not convinced about valero's power. for now, Diaz by UD.

ooooooooooohh...that would be a GREAT scrap I think Diaz falls in 1 just like the rest of em. I had always been more impressed with david diaz than juan diaz. But Valero proved to be the real deal.

Who do you think would win? if valero punches as hard as he's hyped, then diaz should not make this fight. otherwise he should be able to beat valero who has never fought even a gatekeeper.

This would be an awesome fight. I think you right. Juan Diaz by UD. They said it is supposed to be in Houston.

Tough call. I wanna see this fight, but Diaz might do well to stay away from a banger like Valero for now after the abuse he's taken against Nate and JMM. If it happens, I think Juan UD's him, but Valero could very well KO him.
