1st - I just want to start off by saying I am a huge Juan Diaz Fan.
I dont really blame Juan Diaz for losing the fight. He fought his heart out and did not give, not to mention he also stepped up to the plate to give Paule a rematch.
I am really pissed off at his Training Camp. I mean come up guys, it is critical to have your fighter in tip toe shape. Juan Diaz looked like shit out there. He has jelly rolls, love handles and flabby arms. WTF!!!!Are you serious?
When you are headlining a HBO event ,how could you let your fighter let go of himself. As trainers you should make sure that your fighter is well prepared.
I know alot you out there are going to argue that "having muscles doesnt mean shit" or say "every one is not built the same" But come on guys. Are you serious.
Look at the elite fighters at 140 , Bradley, Khan, Urango, Alexander. These guys are in great shape. Juan has nothing on these guys.
The problem with Juan, is that he is slow and does not have any power behind his punches.
PLEASE JUAN if you are reading this...GET A MEMBERSHIP TO 24 hours or LA Fitness. Hell, I will even be your work out partner.
You represent Houston and we are proud of you.
Get back in the gym and show the world what you are made of.
Juan Diaz Cut the fat and hit the weights.
Ronnie Shields get off your a ss !!!!!
Juan Diaz has been that way since the beginning. It's just the way he looks at the weight. Turning it into muscle won't do anything good. What he needs to do is drop fat and fight at 130.
I give Shields credit for making Cintron a better fighter. He's not a bad trainer.
Ronnie Sheilds was good enough to work as a trainer for both Pernell Whitaker and David Tua. I'm sure both have better credentials than "Raul."
Ronnie Sheilds was only good to keep these two in shape not add anything new to there boxing skills set i also have been to that gym Ronnie Sheilds does suck and Raul was a champ at one point in his boxing career i learn more from him then i did with Ronnie Sheilds . i know alot of guys who train there and they always point out that Ronnie Sheilds sucks balls they always have good things to say about Raul in the end they always go to a diffrent gym to train
PS JUAN DIAZ FIND A NEW TRAINER
i still dont get how a boxer who has 30 plus fights with a olympic background has faced good to elite competition NOT HAVE a defined muscular physique.
I dont remeber ever seeing a elite lightweight with NO muscle definition. He looks like a lightweight version of cris arreola. How does a top echelon lightweight not have at least a six pack?
Juan Diaz makes greg ostertag look cut & defined.
some people just don't get cut up.

What Diaz's body have to do with this thread?
ronnie shields will lead you to a UD loss, floyd sr will lead you to 2nd round KO loss......:D
And Freddie Roach will lead you to losing against fighters like Danny Williams and Sam Peter.
i dont know the guy personally but i trained in his gym sahvanna boxing gym close to bellaire near the fiesta near some damm getto apartments. this was probly like 8year ago. ronnie cant train for shit, he shouldt be training anyone he sucks ass. raul who use to train the kids at the gym should have been training diaz.

first of all, shields made diaz into what he is today in terms of his progress and development. Juan is who he is and nothing more, with little power and not alot of athleticism, it great hes gotten where he is today, but at this point, to blame shields is just stupid
I was just about to say the same thing. Some people act like the trainers are supposed to be miracle workers in there.

don't blame sheilds... diaz is just no good at 140 lbs.
not true, infact Juan Diaz had different trainers before Shields, not alot of people know this.
please help me out then, hes all ive seen him with the last 5 or 6 years hes been on tv. i figured thats who guided him, but either way, shields or not, i dont see anything in diaz that suggests a new trainer would do anything, hes taken himself as far as he possibly could even at one point owning the division
If he lifts weights he is going to be jsut as slow.
All I am saying is that juan diaz is in the f ucking Light Weight Division. He looks like a fat ass. He should be lean and cut. I am not saying he needs to bulk up like Hulk Hogan or anything, but he needs to work on his speed and tone up his arms. Thats not asking too much.
There are no excuses PERIOD. His training camp, health guru, sparring partners should of been on his ass. The good thing is that Juan is still young and can improve. .
Hopefully Victor Ortiz could show him the way to the gym since they both work for Golden Boy
Juan reminds me of Chris Arreola.
first of all, shields made diaz into what he is today in terms of his progress and development. Juan is who he is and nothing more, with little power and not alot of athleticism, it great hes gotten where he is today, but at this point, to blame shields is just stupid
