After the Katsidis fight he said he wanted to get back to being a world champion. He then hesitated, then proceeded to call out Juan Manuel Marquez. Nate Campbell is the guy who beat him and took his belts, so why not talk about a rematch to settle the score?
I found this on Youtube, it's the post-fight press conference.

In it, he says "The Nate Campbell fight is in the past, I've already forgotten about it. I don't even worry about that. With this victory I'm looking forward to the future." Then he goes and thanks Houston for the 1000th time.
Are those the statements of a true warrior?
This is why I don't support him. I've long believed that Juan Diaz had no heart and made his reputation by beating on old fighters who wound up quitting. By shying away from the subject he shows that he's not a true champion. He's in it for the money.
Nate Campbell had to goad and bait Diaz into the mandatory fight the first time, now Diaz won't even discuss the loss.
I noticed with Juan Diaz fights the venues were always announced almost last minute and in very random places.
With Golden boy it is now very organize and they do an amazing job promoting in houston, Tv, radio, billboards, magazine/newspaper ads, appearances in public places, etc.
well, in all fairness, they've done what, ONE show there? And its not too hard when you have Diaz and Juarez on the card, who are both from Houston. But I'm not knocking it, its great for fights to actually be PROMOTED in arenas outside of Vegas. Its good for the growth of the sport........
Thats on King. He's running around trying to get a site fee from somewhere, instead of actually promoting the show

side question.
What is taking so long to find a venue for the feb 14 card? It is about a month away and ticket sales are probably going to bomb right if they keep waiting right?

Who cares if he doesnt want a rematch with Nate...truth is fighting JMM is not exactly a step down....JMM is a lil monster!::boxing:
only true warriors want rematches.
And if he wins it does waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more for his Career.
I'm not downplaying Nate because he's a good fighter too but come on a win against Marquez not only does a lot more for him in the eyes of critic's but it also does way more for him in the eyes of Mexican fight fans who just happen to be his biggest supporters. It would almost erase his loss against Campbell and would also make him the lightweight champ.
Exactly.. that's what I was trying to say.
No matter who wins, they have the same problem if they want to chase Pac. Because Hatton-Pac isnt happening till may 2, assuming pac wins, he wont make a decision about his next fight until probably june, and fight in sept or oct. No way jmm would sit that long.

There is a better chance for Campbell to fight a diaz rematch than Marquez. Juan Manuel is dieing to have another shot against Pacquiao. I think he sees this fight as a stepping stone to lure Pacquiao into a fight.

less risk to fight JMM career wise.

Im not about to read thru a shit load of pages..
Do you really think Nate would beat Juan Diaz again?
If Diaz doesnt get cut hes in good shape..
Trust me, if they met again, Juan will look like a totally different fighter..
Hes going to use his Jab and box from the outside..
Nate was doing everything he could to irritate that cut (veteran move, which is good)..
He would rub his shoulder all over that cut to make it worse..
If Diaz doesnt get cut up and Jabs its an EASY fight.. yes, EASY
Simple
Because mexicans or mexican Americans don't want to rematch boxers they know who will beat their ass.
No because Juan Manuel Marquez doesn't want a 3rd fight with Pacman.
Fuking retard!!!!

hmm explains why morales and barrera both rematched pacquiao :banghead:
Press releases are fine, and Willie can say what he wants, but when we initially agreed to skip the Funeka mando to fight Diaz, it was Savannah that pulled out, not us. We had already agreed to terms, and HBO had a March date for it. Savannah pulled the plug after we agreed.
If Diaz beats JMM, get ready for the next excuse from Savannah as to why Campbell-Diaz 2 cant be made, because I guarantee you its coming. Why do you think we are pulling so hard for JMM in that fight?

If Diaz wins i dont know who else is out there for him to fight that is worth it money and draw wise. Edwin Valero would be the only other legitimate fight out there. So there should be no reason not to fight Campbell in a rematch. Unless for some reason Diaz can lure Pacquiao into a fight which is something no fighter can pass up.
Anyways, Mr Trekas would you all fight Juan Diaz in Houston or how do you feel about a rematch and where

Before the Marquez fight was official
Two of the more happier individuals to hear the news of Nate Campbell breaking away from promoter Don King, had to be Juan Diaz and his manager Willie Savannah. This past March, Campbell (32-5, 25KOs) upset Diaz (34-1, 17KOs) in Cancun, Mexico to capture the WBA, WBO and IBF lightweight titles.
“We are not going to sit around and wait for him to decide if he wants to fight Diaz. If doesn’t want the fight and Nate Campbell is available, then we'll fight Nate. I told Richard the other day, if it's Marquez fine, and if it's Nate fine. If Marquez wants to wait, that fine with us. We'll just move on down the road. We have no problem fighting Nate, now that he’s a free agent. The only problem with fighting Nate before was him being with Don King.”
“The best fight in the lightweight division would be Juan Diaz with Juan Manuel and if we can’t make that, then Juan Diaz vs. Nate Campbell. There is nothing else that can come close to those two fights in the lightweight division. Nate is a definite possibility. I know Juan is comfortable fighting with Nate, and I know Nate is comfortable fight with Juan.”
It's not Juan who makes the decision it's the champ Marquez who makes the decision's.
The reason the Campbell fight didn't happen instead is because Campbell has a mandatory against fuking Funeka. So if Campbell isn't availiable who's the next best fighter??????
Seriously if this doesn't show you how Alphabet titles are bad for boxing I don't know what does. My bet is Nate Campbell would have got the shot instead of Diaz if it wasn't for those useless belts.
My bet is that Golden Boy Promotions never pushed to get Diaz back into the rankings as a mandatory because they would risk spoiling their hometown draw should he lose again.
