Another Barnburner

The first couple months of the 2009 are looking great for boxing fans: Mosley-Margarito, Arce-Darchinyan, and now Juan Manuel Márquez-Juan Diaz. I don't know who I like in that last one. Márquez has looked great lately, and Diaz has some flaws that he'll be able to exploit. But counter-punching boxers eventually reach an age where they just get overwhelmed by the busiest fighters (see Roy Jones Jr.'s fights against Calzaghe and Glen Johnson for good examples), and Diaz is about as busy as you can get. Plus, Márquez is smaller. Hmmmm. No idea.
