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!!!!
the first paulie bout was a very good fight i actually watched it again and saw diaz fighting a better fight than i remembered at the time
He is on Twitta! Even tho dude (above poster) was prob being an "A$$hole" when he wrote eating taco's... (He ain't lying, 'ole Juan has been busy promoting a Fam OWN restaurant on twitter lately... lol) & unfortunately has been eating taco's... THX Juan. (#Stereotype)
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.
