I dont like this fight. Oscar would put Diaz away too quickly. Someone make a Juan Diaz vs Carlos Ortiz MM. Ortiz would systematically, and slowly beat the fuck outta him.
Probably. Truthfully though, I wouldnt put it past Slappy at his best (Cardona fight) to outbox Diaz.
the fact that he's not very good and managed to be a champion only because nobody else was either that and Karl Hegman
For what it's worth, yes Casa was the lineal champ at the time but I thought Diaz was the best LW in the world going into his fight w/ Nate Campbell. And Casa was pretty damn shameless in ducking both Diaz and especially Campbell.
Just being the best by opinion shouldnt make you the champ, though, except perhaps in very rare instances.
