Last time I checked, Juan Diaz just lost as well. At least Katsidis was arguably winning when he got caught late. This is a fight everyone wanted before their respective losses and still do. Personally I'd rather see Juan go after a title.Comment

Or put another way, at least Juan Diaz didn't get knocked silly...Comment

I think Katsidis is overrated, always have, but he did put on an exciting performance in coming back from two first round knockdowns to take control of the fight and look like he was going to win. Yes he got stopped, but he's still someone people want to see fight again. I agree with what you're saying in that he shouldn't be getting another title shot right away and should have to earn that again. But Juan no longer has any titles.Comment

Juan Diaz should go for Casamayor. People been saying if he loses hes done and blah blah blah bad opponent to come back against. Well people havent thought about juan whipping Casamayor's ass and what it would do for his stock. Imo he stops Katsidis and ChavezComment
