two different classes of fighters. Diaz beats him with ease.

Really?I think Elder would put up a pretty good fight.He has a ton of heart.

Diaz has heart along with talent. Elder is having life and death struggles with guys like Courtney Burton.

it would be hella exciting while it last for sure tho..but yeah ebo needs more fights before taking on someone like diaz

It's a war but the trained quality hits are going to come from Diaz while Elder might just throw them without really aiming. In a few more fights, he'll be ready. I agree with Hurlex.

i'd have to go with diaz in a very exciting fight both guys are willing to trade big punches. I just think diaz is the quicker of the two plus his body attacking would hurt Ebo after 12 rounds.

Diaz is not just a slugger. He moves in and out great and works up and down. He had a guy in Sim who just wanted to trade and he boxed circles around him.

I dont care how many fights Elder has he will never be able to take any world class fighter he's just not that good.

i think this would be a slugfest but Diaz should get the better of Elders at this point. They're both young guns but Diaz has already proven himself as a fighter and Elders hasnt. After Elders gets some more fights under his belt they might cross paths.

I like the idea, I hope ESPN will throw Ebo a bone and give him that fight. Ebo has a pretty good following and Juan Diaz is now probably ESPN biggest figter, plus it would seem like an entertaining action fight with Diaz getting the best of things.
