    I dont say this often, but I think it would be better for Diaz to take some easy fights for a while.

    the guy has been fighting at the world class level non stop since he was 21, and that will definately wear a fighter down. not to mention that both of his losses were really brutal in terms of punishment. Campbell landed over 400 punches on the guy and had him on the threshhold for a knockout for a long time, and the KO to Marquez was pretty nasty.

    I would like him to take a bit of a rest...fight some lesser competition that he wont get too beat up against, build his confidence, let him look over his past fights against top level guys...and maybe lose some of that chubbyness. gain some muscle, because him with more punching power=a very frightening opponent.

    I think he could make 130lbs if he wanted to.

      How did the Campbell fight hurt Diaz? He fought a hell of a fight and had JMM on wobbly legs twice. The better man won, simple as that.

              No, Diaz could be a lawyer when he's done with boxing and retire early and healthy.

                    cause campbell made the dervish that was diaz into a regular fighter... campbell took something away from diaz psychologically... diaz does not respond well to cuts.

                    if you go to an extreme, campbell ruined diaz
