Better win over Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell or JMM?

[Scott9945]

Campbell was giving Diaz a pretty good beating late in that fight. He is a clear choice to me.

[-Kev-]

Campbell was the first boxer to beat Diaz, that, no matter how he did it should already trump Marquez's wins.

But, Marquez was only the 2nd boxer to beat Diaz, and the first to knock him out, and I honestly don't think any one else will knock Diaz out any time soon.

BTW it's not fair to compare how many punches they landed, because Marquez only went 8 and a half rounds with Diaz while Campbell went all 12. So who knows how many punches Marquez was gonna land in 12 rounds at the pace that fight was heading.

Better win?

Nate.

More Impressive?

Marquez, but if I remember correctly he got rocked a few times by a pillow fisted fighter, so that drops the impressive factor a bit.

Campbell beat the better version, JMM did it more impressively

That seems like a pretty fair assessment.

I think you gotta' give it to Campbell:

1) He was the first fighter to beat Diaz.

2) He went right into Diaz' wheelhouse and whupped him in front of his crew.


Both were great fights and props to JD for great efforts in both.

I give it to Nate.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Definitely Nate because he stopped a buzz saw at the time in Diaz.

Marquez just showed the difference in class between him and Diaz. Diaz is a really good fighter, JMM is an ATG.

That was Marquez' second fight at lightweight and to knock Diaz out seems more impressive from a guy with almost no experience at 135. Rocking Marquez is not impressive and irrelevant. Even knocking him down doesn't guarantee that you are going to beat him.

Campbell's only edge is that he beat him while being undefeated so if we talk about better I think Campbell fought the better version for 6 or 7 rounds.

^^Paulie Malignaggi beat him before Marquez (Two times in my books) but gotta agree with that
