Not true - Bj can beat Bj at 155. That's it though.

Diego's hands are 90% faster than Flos, and no disrespect to Mark Delagrote, but Diego's been working his hands with Oscar De La Hoya. Another level of striking training. Diego could have boxing on BJ's level when they meet.

He may have the boxing technically and even a little speed, but he will never have Bj's chin and doesn't have his power... he could improve his power I suppose with the right techniques, but I still don't think he will ever match BJ's punching power.

+1 this is a fact.

Diego will probably get the next shot because of his name. He doesn't stand much of a chance against BJ, though.

I think Deigo stands a good chance. He is a better wrestler then Kenny. He is bigger then Kenny and usually has great cardio. Plus he has a great chin. I think he has a good chance. The only person who has a better chance at LW is Maynard.

Sooner I was hoping you still had your "YES!" gif just for this thread haha

ha ha yeah, I should have pulled it out

I think his size will be an obstacle for BJ... Other than that, he has nothing that BJ can't handle. And his aggressiveness will make for a much more exciting fight than what Kenny put on, but may lead to a dumb mistake that ends the fight prematurely. Back to the old addage that if X fights Y ten times... Diego wins one out of ten. Better than Kenny's 0 out of 10 though...

Dana really needs to think about pursuing guys like Aoki, Alvarez, Hellboy, etc. I think that some of the guys fighting abroad have aspects to their games to give BJ problems...

BJ has really nice hands but Diego has a really nice chin. I don't think BJ has the power to stop Diego. BJ might put on a clinic and make it look similar to GSP vs Fitch but I doubt it. I think it would be a really competitive fight.

Dudes, the fact that BJ actually showed up in shape is what gave him victory. It has been a long time in coming and I did think he would be the same old chunky BJ with a good first round and then blah afterwards. nope, I was wrong, he actually got ready. But I don't think Diego can beat Florian right now. granted Kenny is now at Gatekeeper status, but that is one hell of a gatekeeper. His biggest problem is his age now.

When has BJ ever gassed at LW?

KenFlo's biggest problems are his age, the fact he's fallen flat in two title shots and the fact that he's not nearly what he and some of his nuthugging fans think he is...

Bj hits hard enough to put diego to sleep.

Diego couldn't put Joe Stevenson away in three rounds and Kenny and BJ both did...easily, now this guy thinks he is the best? Sorry, I ain't buying it.

why do you say that? Diego has never even been rocked before. He has a solid chin.

Sanchez is the #1 contender, but will lose to Penn.
