Juan Diaz gained more fans even though he lost

[QUOTE=2501;4850641]

so any fighter that beats an elite is an A+ fighter now?

I think the poster is trying to say that since there's no shame in Diaz losing to an A+ fighter like JMM; that implies that Nate Campbell is an A+ fighter as well.

the tide turned prior to the cut

I agree, but without the cut diaz could've made a comeback

Diaz was winning the 9th round before he got caught, he was on his way to getting a decision had he boxed those last 3 rounds instead of warring with Marquez, he should get Nazeem Richardson we all know what he was able to do with B-Hop and Sugar Shane

Every die hard Marquez fan I know all said the same thing...Diaz is a true warrior, he fought his heart out and stood up like a man even afer getting up from the first Knock down, he truly got alot of people's respect because most didn't give Diaz a chance against a great like Marquez.

It was an amazing atmosphere it was fun just being there live!

I would love to see Diaz fight again, no shame in losing to the man regarded as the best Mexican fighter of this day. Marquez is a A+ fighter, no chump.

I wasn't a fan before this Saturday; I am now, he fought his ass off.

He gained me as a fan, I always like him but now I'll follow his career much more. I just hope he could bounce back coz he might be the man there when Marquez leave to 140.

he is overrated. he throws a lot but has no power. Im glad marquez knocked his slow talking ass out after all those dirty looks he was giving.

Awesome display of courage!!! Diaz went out like a man!!! He fought his heart out!!!

diaz will not beat any elite fighters with his current style - its too basic and predictable.

That's an odd thing to say being that he has already beaten a number of 'elite' fighters. What do you call Freitas, Diaz, Sim (this guy was very underrated. He won the WBA title and lost two title shots before this on SD's in two Korean's hometowns. They were both fights he was meant to have won but got jobbed in. Either way, he is a two time world champion. That's elite), Lorcy (also a two time world champion), Katsidis and Lorenzo, also both world champions.

That's a pretty damn good list considering he is only twenty five years old was a three belt unified champion and also a two time world champion.

The two losses will make his career short.

The way Diaz fought against Marquez, I think he could have beaten any other guy in the lightweight division, believe it or not if he would have had a litle more power he could have stopped Marquez in that 2nd round
