Comments Thread For: Joseph Diaz: I Want Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney - Let's Make This **** Happen!

[Jab jab boom]

26 fights into his career he has 15 KOs. He also has a questionable title. His opponent’s combined record is 365-164.

26 fights into Mayweather’s career (when you should be racking up the KOs) he had 17 KOs had WBO super fw title, and 7 title defenses. His opponent’s combined record was 495-140

26 fights into his career Whitaker had 13 KOs, had already lost his first title attempt for the WBC, this was 15 fights in, became the Unified LW champ (WBA,WBC,IBF) with two title defenses. His opposition combined record was 607- 144

26 fights into his career Andre Ward had 12 KOs, had the WBA and WBC SMW title and 6 defenses. His opposition combined record was 447-71

I could go on but you see the pattern. The fighters you named fought extraordinarily stiffer competition, achieved far more, were far more accomplished, yet kept pace or surpassed Haney in KOs. They deserved every ounce of the hype that came along with them. Given Haney’s oppositional combined record he has faced sub par competition this far into his career. Is he talented? No question. Has he earned the hype? Not in the least. At least not yet. One can make themselves much more greater than they actually are. This is what Social Media does and is why I stay away from it.

hype train.

I’m not comparing Haney to those guys in terms of accomplishments. I’m making a point that just because you’re not a big puncher, doesn’t mean you can’t soundly outbox and beat a pressure fighter with power. Going by your logic, I could also state how Jojo is nowhere near the class of a pac, Chavez or Froch. We’re talking about the style match up of boxer vs pressure fighter.

Haney beats them both.
I'd love to watch any of these fights. all very good.

Ha you were lit o nFriday, i saw you posting from the venue in the RbR thread. Hope it was good time. I gotta check out that venue next time there is a fight, maybe it's Garcia-Diaz

Yeah Ryan probably is too big, can leap in and out on Jo Jo. Ryan isn't as good backward trying avoid shots but idk if Diaz can cut the distance. He has improved a little bit..dropped the habit of rubbing his hands together as he resets, removes some useless movements

Lol I was tossed up but yea had a blast,thanks man. Something about outdoor venues like that one and stubhub that just get electric,can't beat em.

Ryan vs JoJo is a marquee fight.. sells out Staples.. they need to wait to build it up more

I'm not sure about selling out Staples but its a fight that would definitely sell well. I'd rather it be at stubhub or whatever it's called now but obviously they'd maximize profits at Staples with the larger capacity.

No one cares about Haney..

Ryan vs Jojo is a bigger fight and sells out Staples Center..

I say make

Ryan vs Zepeda, who coming off an excellent win over Tanajara Jr

Jojo vs Linares

on the same card and build it up for a fight

Okay, I would tune in for those fights. Problem is you might well spoil your Staples Center chicano superfight if you wait. I like JoJo but he is very beatable at 135lb. Better for him to lose to a star and get him some exposure.

Id rather see Joseph Diaz vs. Rolando Romero.
