Unless matched appropriately. He will not be a top dog at 140. He is simply too small. Did you guys see how tiny he looked out there against Paulie?
I didn't see any of the pre-fight stuff such as the weigh in. But I was shocked.
I think hes done at 135 even if he can make it. The guy was built around hype and really was never that good. At 140 I don't think he can beat a single top 10 guy and at 135 there are some pretty good sharks like Fuenka, Guzman, Reyes, Peterson, and Demarco.
i think hes far from done
iv always said that diaz should lose the baby fat and drop down to 135, that imo is his weight division and hes been punching above his weight at LW. hopefully now that hes finished his studies he can concentrate fully on his boxing and training.
i dont think theres alot of hype there at all. imo he is still a good fighter, he comes to fight, throws alot of punches, has a good chin and would still beat alot of top 10 LW's. i dont paulie was a good match up for him.

I was kind of disappointed in him. He seemed to have a lot of promise. But any guy with solid stamina and decent boxing will give him major problems.
To me he's way too one dimensional. All he does is come forward and lunge. He's much more effective when he jabs but he gets wild at times and reallly leaves himself open.
