looking to the up coming fight between maynard and florian and i cant help but think back to how diaz really tooled maynard in the striking department....i know people clown on diaz's striking because he lacks power...but he is very acurate and uses his range well.

 

Now IMO kenny is a more technically efficent striker with more power and i can see this fight finishing badly for maynard if it stays on the feet which i believe it will.

 

I cant over look the fact of how bad maynard got schooled by diaz on the feet...i think kenny ends this in rnd 2

Some more Diaz haters... to try and argue that their boxing isn't in the upper echelon of MMA regardless of how much power they pack is just plain ignorance on your part. They constantly outstrike opponents in the stand up game, even guys like Maynard who are supposed to be title contenders. To be honest, how the hell would we know how good Nate's striking is against some of these better fighters in 155... everytime he gets in the ring with one of them they turn that **** into a wrestling match and lay on him for 15 rounds. Guida did it, Stevenson did it, and everyone thought Maynard would do it too. Little did he know that if he wanted to stand and bang he would end up looking foolish and losing a title shot. You can continue to argue all you want, but their boxing prowess is undeniable.

Your an idiot...

 

For one...I'm a fan of the Diaz brothers for a few reasons...

 

Second...I boxed on the Marine corps boxing team for almost a year....I am qualified to make an educated assement...

 

All those fighters your talking about? Give up huge reach advatages...Are wrestlers and not the boxer/striker the Diaz brothers are...Diaz brother have better jitz than them dudes as well imo...So yeah...They are gonna take it to the ground because they are not strikers in the truest dense...

 

So comparing them is idiodic...

 

Your killing me man...killing me...

kenny would school diaz striking and prob grappling aswell and i cant see any way besides g + p for meynard to win

 

i think in straight boxing diaz would win but kenny has great kicks nd explosivness so i think kenny would win the fight. but i have alot more faith in diazs striking now thats hes at ww cuz he destroyed that huge ww markham who i thought was a real bad matchup for diaz nd im a huge diaz fan

I find it funny and ignorant that your opinion is valid and everyone who disagrees is a "Diaz hater"

 

I respect your opinion...I just think your wrong on many levels...Almost everyone in this thread says Kenny is a better striker. The assuption that they all hate the Diaz brothers shows what an idiot and how disrespectful and uncreadable you are dude...just satin'....

Dont bother insulting peoples intelligence when you cant even spell the insults or get the syntax right. Your post only made one person look stupid and it wasnt the guy you were talking to.

I think Kenny Florian has better stand up all round but Nate Diaz has better boxing due to his reach utilization. Kenny is the better fighter but Nate has a long time to get to that level. No way does Maynard stand with Florian. Hope Florian throws him a beating that would be sweet.

diaz has a quality jab but other than that i don't really think of him as good striker, he doesn't mix it up enough. its rare he ever throws a kick or a knee (i think he would have beat maynard that time if he'd threw some high kicks, he either would have cought him or grey would have instinctivly took him down and got subbed).

 

kenny is much more diverse, his punches might not be as crisp as diaz's. but he has a full arsenal of strikes. decent punches, knees and kicks. and some of the best elbows in MMA.
