    Juan Diaz is a nice fighter and comes to fight every fight, but he'll be groslly exposed by the first semi-elite fighter he takes on.

    Cotto, Hatton, Lazcano, Corrales, Castillo, Witter, Mayweather, etc all blow him out of the water.
    u left out Brian "the quiet storm" ogletree the "next big thing"

          thats what i thought when i first saw the post,
          Miguel Angel Cotto is a proven contender with a weak chin, but big cojones

            Juan Diaz although has 28 fights is inexperienced as far as quality fighters. He has fought many no names. Just like when Kermit Cintron fought Antonio Margarito, If Diaz is thrown in the ring too early with a quality fighter, the result will be disapointing. Juan Diaz cannot handle Cotto, Mayweather, Hatton, Corrales, Castillo etc. He should fight someone like Abdulaev or Ricardo Torres.

              Who sais Miguel has a weak chin? He was shaken by a good punch, the same punch that shook Floyd mayweather Jr. SO I guess Floyd also has a weak chin?
              Ricardo Torres is one of the most underrated fighters, Under good promotion and training this kid will beat many, many top contenders. He has the heaviest hands in the junior welterwieght division that I have seen in a while.

                  Diaz is flabby and certainly does not belong at 140, but he has fast hands and a tenacious style that would give Cotto problems. He could also give Lazcano a good fight, although he'd probably lose you cannot say for sure because I got a feeling Lazcano has sustained some long-term damage from his fight with Castillo. Also Witter takes a lot of flack for looking average vs average opponents. That would lead me to believe Diaz can beat him.
