Diaz was great for a spll. But we saw when he stepped up against the elite his size that could hit a bit, he fell apart. Even Paulie shook him and kept Diaz honest. I would take Rios, it'd be a war the whole way through though. Diaz just doesn't have the pop in his shots.Comment

Juan Diaz whoops his ass. At one point Juan Diaz was elite and undisputed beating really good competition to get there. Rios has nowhere near that resume, and Diaz would outbox and out hustle him. Rios is just ready to get exposed. Diaz was a very cerebral fighter believe it or not with awesome conditioning despite his body typeComment

Diaz beat up on a lot of old fighters during his prime. He made Popo quit. Julio Diaz at the Begin of his decline. Lavka Sim at the end.Juan Diaz whoops his ass.

Jose Cotto was green.
The old strong guy he fought was Katsidis who's a really crappy Rios.
Rios would be by far the biggest strongest fighter he's ever faced. Also in his prime.
Rios has too much firepower. Juan keeps it close for about 7 or 8 rounds. Then boom goes the dynamite.Comment

It's two guys with similar styles except one of them takes a better shot and hits harder....Diaz would get worn down and stopped late.
Great fight though would love to see it.Comment

This. Diaz was an undisputed lightweight champion, short prime, I agree, but there is not way Rios beat him. His punches in the inside were amazing, and I dont see Ríos boxing him, would be a war but Diaz have the edge.Comment
