If I had to choose making normal middle class salary steadily, or be a C class boxer in pro boxing where fans, media and managers/promoters turn their backs on you constantly...give me an average steady salary.
    Diaz came back and was about to fight for a world title this year in May but injured his rotator cuff. He's had 5 wins since coming back in 2013.

    Not sure if he wants to continue after an injury but if he does I presume we will see him again maybe in December if not early next year.

      I always wonder stuff like this with lotsa ex-boxers regardless if they suddenly dropped off the map or just aged out of the sport. Like is Angel Manfredy managing a Rent-A-Center now or did he do his money good enough to live off some investments or something.

      And there are hundreds of cats like Angel who never got huge, but had some impact in the sport, but wtf they doing now? Idk. Stevie Johnston. Jesus Chavez. Troy Dorsey. Lamar "HIV" Parks. Ray Mercer. Francisco Bojado. And wth is Seth Mitchell doing these days. Someone needs to start a Where Are They Now Ex-Boxers Podcast & find these mfers.

          But he stopped fighting top competition. Do you actually know off the top of your head, anyone he has fought since his 'return'? He's fighting guys with terrible records. The type you fight when you first start your pro career. And it looks like he has nothing lined up, and hasn't fought since 2014.

                    I was thinking we'd hear something about Panchito Bojado's lil brother Angel by now but nothing.

                      Kelly Pavlik was still active not too long ago but yeah, dude had personal problems or something and went back into hibernation. *shrug*
                      I heard he was going to law school but I believe he became a trucker and had his own trucking company and also started his own coffee business.
