    Could Juan Diaz fight at a lower weight?

    He always looks out of shape or a a bit heavy when he fights.

    he should be fighting at 130, his genes will never alow him to be some cut muscled out guy. but the bigger $$$ is at 135 and 140.

      I doubt he will be around much longer but yeah....he always looks flabby at 135 and doesn't have enough power to effectively work a pressure style against top level opposition at LW.

        I think he can but maybe he just looks like that naturally, He has an exciting style that i like and if it doesnt work out for him he can alway look back and say he held the 3 different titles in the lightweight division.

          135 is perfect for him, some people just aren't ripped when they get in the ring and Diaz does just fine at that weight. He may look flabby but he doesn't have stamina problems at 135 at all.

            hes not got the natural lean look of haye, dirrell or ssm.

            however he could get down to 130, imo that should be his main focus now, on getting himself in proper fighting condition and getting down to 130.

              135 is fine for him, but he should try and turn some of that baby fat into muscle.

                According to Ronnie Shields, GBP want Diaz at 130 or 135 afer the Paulie rematch.

                  I think he'll kill himself trying to make the 130 lb limit before stepping into the ring

                    He could easily make 130 just compare Diaz with Bradley
