    brother, this would be a fight of the year type fight. diaz is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters. he can throw bombs non stop. the man does not get tired. he says it's from swimming, so i started swimming. screw pacquio, who cares, he is past his prime. fight a young hungry dog like diaz, if you're gonna go down to that weight.
    I really like Juan Diaz, hes one of my favorite fighters, I've followed him since 04, but he cant beat Floyd. He isn't technically sound enough, hes a a brawler, who likes to fight inside, and gets hit alot, but has a strong chin. Hes like a better version of Ricky Hatton. I couldnt see him beating PBF, hed get outboxed and get hit alot, and wouldn't land alot of clean punches, and he doesn't hit that hard anyway, even though it looks like he is putting alot behind his punches. He probably has a better chance than Paquiao though.

    He wouldn't fight Juan tho, because it doesnt make enough money, people dont really know who he is. Pacquiaou is a huge fight that makes alot of money because he has a whole country behind him and hes very well known and accomplished.

    MIguel Cotto is a little over rated, hes really beaten 2 big fighters, Zab and Shane, and Shane gave him a tough ass fight, hurting him a few times in the fight. A much tougher fight than De La Hoya gave Floyd. Miguel is tough, but in order for him to make it make sense, he should be fighting, Margarito, Paul Williams, or Cintron. Those guys should fight each other and the winner fights floyd to make it the biggest money fight possible.

      Floyd would beat Diaz easily... almost as easily as he comprehensively and one-sidedly beat Ricky Hatton.

          That's nuts.

          Let's hope Diaz blows up. I dont think he has it in him to be a major star, and challenge Floyd's throne.

            PBF would absolutely destroy Pacman at 135.

                  i really don't believe this, we need a source, and i don't agree with this move at all. floyd, of course, when he 28 in 2005, was a terror at lightweight, but he should have stayed there and not moved up, rather than going back there. he will fight cotto, mosley, and i believe williams also, but at welterweight. he did call out mosley, when he was at 140, but the weight for him is welterweight, but let's wait and see how paul and williams, hell cintron and margo also do in their fights before we read too much into this. floyd beats them all at 147, but at 140, he would not have any real threats to him. paulie would lose bad, hatton would lose again, witter would get ****ted on horribly, and if manny and juan move up, they would get killed. floyd needs to stay at welterweight and beat those guys i mentioned earlier, because i don't see any of them beating him, especially cotto, williams, would be a tougher challange, but would get exposed terribly by floyd. floyd's no dumby when it comes to getting money. he knows who'll draw and seel with him, and he only wants big fights, and those big fights would be cotto and mosley, essentially, but depending on how williams and margo fair in their fights, they could get bigger also, but we'll see. manny vs mayweather has been discussed for years now, but i pray it doesn't happen, because manny would get killed.

                  i always claimed that imo floyd's prime weight was 140, but he's older now, and that vibe isn't there anymore imo, but had he not left 140, without a shadow of a doubt, he would have dominated the **** out of that division, he was too much of a skilled killer at that weight, he was very, very fast, and he let his punches go but in a controlled manner at that weight, and he hit hard as **** at that weight also. this imo was floyd's best weight class, but he moved up and has been taking care of business at 147, so this is where he needs to be imo.

                    TRANSLATION: Floyd against anybody his own size is not a fair fight.

                      Anything without a source is plain bull****.

                      So if there isn't a source... Don't even bother posting it!
