When is Twan Diaz gonna step his game up?

Dude, that is better work than Cotto or Pac had at 24.

Umm, PAC at 24 moved up a weightclass and took on the best at 126lbs, which was MAB, a FHOFer, and an All-Time Great!

Freitas and Julio combined does not even compare to MAB! Thank you.

Prior to Freitas and Julio, who else did Twan take on that's worth mentioning? Lavka Sim?(lmao)

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

He's 24 years old and has had 30+ fights. And all he has to show for is beating up Julio and Acelino, at the end of the day, just who the hell are these guys.

Where Twan is now, PAC moved up weightclasses and was kickin' some FHOFers @ss in San Antonio. Where Twan is now, PAC stepped up and fought the most avoided featherweight in JMM(not even mab or em could mutter JMM's name).

Juan has cleaned out his division with only Joel Casamayor left standing. If you really want to count David Diaz, most don't Diaz has been BEGGING to fight Pacquiao.

Freitas is just as big as star in Brazil as Pacquiao is in his country (Brazil has more than double the population too). Marquez has always been the stepson of Morales and Barrera in Mexico. Even now JMM still isnt as popular as them there or here.

You DO realize that not every fighter's career flows the same way correct?

No kidding, wouldn't want him to burn out like Tyson did. I'd rather enjoy Juan's fights for at least another 8 years or so. Juan will probably pick up the pace a bit after he graduates.

I know, just look at the career of Fernando Vargas

Outside of $$$$, what does Twan get out of fighting a guy moving up a weightclass, compared to fighting the best at 135lbs(Casa), or moving up a weightclass fighting the likes Cotto, Hatton, Margarito, P. Williams. Surely 2 out of the 4 fighters I mentioned can bring in the same amount of $$$$ for Twan.

Should PAC start calling out guys from 126lbs on down? Would that get respect? No.

Vargas had 19-20 fights prior to facing Tito. Twan currently has 33 fights. It's time to step it up!

shiiit.. every time thats mentioned it makes me sad, Vargas had so much talent.. And i also think their doing the same thing with another Oxnard fighter, Victor Ortiz, hes just 20 and hes facing his toughest challenge in Carlos Maussa, hope he doesnt get bigger challenges IF he beats him and hope he takes it slow.

By 24, the only name(s) that Manny had faced was a FADED Agapito Sanchez and and at the tail end of 24, he fought Marco Antonio Barrera. No one else, that was important. Unless, you count important as the other times he lost before 24, both by KO in the 3rd round. One was a lucky shot/fluke, the other I have yet to see video of. He started his career at 106 only to move UP to 126.

In contrast.. At this point in his career, Juan Diaz has moved DOWN, in weight, something that is just as admirable as moving up, and in some ways, takes a bit more dedication. He started at 142, and is at 135, where he is undefeated and has unified the lightweight titles, for the most part. Holding on to the majority of them. (3 of 5). He's beaten Jose Miguel Cotto, Acelino Freitas and Julio Diaz. His last two fights have been TKO victories, and that was in championship fights. He, unlike Manny, has not been knocked down, let a lone out.

In comparison, at the least, they both had about the same in terms of accomplishments.

By the way, Juan has called out Pacman twice now, just for the record.
