Boxing fans looking past Juan Diaz

Juan Diaz via ud

[..WaRSpencE..]

I just see Diaz gettin countered ALL NIGHT!..he's the one goin foward in all his fights..but JMM's precise counter-punching I can see it getting ugly!..as long as Marquez doens't decide to trade too often..I feel he takes this on points..def a UD...

I am picking Diaz.

Katsidis was a great bounceback win after losing to Campbell. Most guys wouldnt pick an opponent that tough.

Two excellent counterpunchers... I can't pick'em. Nor do I even have a preference. Whoever wins will be doing boxing a great service.

Yup,Marquez is getting old,he's been in some wars,his chin is not that great,he may be looking past Diaz and so forth!!Diaz is younger,fast,throws a ton of punches,great stamina,I dont see how so many people have him as the underdog,when he is the natural 135 pounder!!

I love Juan Manuel Marquez and it sucks they both have to fight. I am rooting for Juan Diaz but i respect Marquez and like him almost equally.

Anyways i notice a lot of people says things along the lines like, "Pacquiao-Marquez 3 needs to happen" "Campbell should fight Marquez for the linear title" "Marquez vs Hatton is he beats Pacquiao" just to name a few.

I think everyone assumes Marquez already won which is not going to be easy at all as you all may think.

I like Diaz, and Marquez. I just don't think Diaz has the fire that Marquez does. Nothing against him at all, but I don't think Diaz would of held up against Pacquiao as well as Marquez did.
Marquez is getting older, and he's been in some wars, but Diaz isn't as near as strong as Pacquiao, so I don't think he can do the same kind of damage.
I think Marquez will win.
I just hope it's a good fight.

i expect juan diaz to win some early rounds but i think he stands in front of you and trades...which plays into juan manuel marquez strengths....i expect marquez to counter juan and land clean power shots all fight long...juan diaz fatiguing toward the end and marquez either KO late (11th or 12th) or winning a convincing UD (115-113)

Are you serious? Other than him having power, Krapsidis is very one dimensional. If you got decent footwork, pop and move your head, you beat him all day

[Motofan]

NOTHING about Diaz has shown me that he can beat Marquez. I expect JMM to put on his best show to date.

I fully agree with you, bro. Juan Diaz is not only the bigger, stronger, younger and fresher fighter. He is also a bad ass kid, and has probably learned and improved since his one loss. Anyone writing him off already is looking too far ahead.
