    Where is this guy, does HBO still have him? Does he still box, it seems like there is no word from his camp?

    He may not have been the most successful or longest lasting HBO product but he was exciting, never in a dull fight.

    The way he broke down Freitas and Julio Diaz

    he showed major guts vs guys like Campbell and Katsidis

    Not to mention being ahead vs Marquez prior to a viscous KO

    he was always fun to watch but where is he?

    He is the unfortunate product of what happens to a fighter mentally after being ktfo. He just couldnt return back to his regular self, he switched his style to avoid punishment and went on to lose to PauliE TWICE and being happy for staying oN and surviving on His feet in the marquez rematch.

    He finished.
    Can't blame him TOPO CON UNA FIERRA!!!!

    That would have been a great fight at 135 for however long it went

    i wonder how Manny would deal with a pressure fighter like that

    Diaz had some great moments against JMM so the guys skills would have given
    Pac some problems too, only an idiot would laugh at him off as a Pac opponent!

    @ 135lbs it would have been fight of the year guaranteed.
    (regardless of the outcome)

    I like/Laugh@ posters who like to use hindsight in their predictions.
    But back when Diaz was the kingpin of the lightweight division, Manny Vs, Diaz was a fight that should have been made.
