As someone who's been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury for years from lifting, I feel for Diaz. Not being able to train is one of the worst feelings there is...

Wow I thought Beltran was helping Manny prepare for mayweather. I'm sure roach has fighters lining up to be apart of this, but ray Beltran is tough. I know pacquiao had Viktor postol during his last camp, I wonder what top fighter will spar Manny this time.

So Beltran gets another shot... this is probably his best chance now

Top Rank and the WBO... a beautiful love story. I like Beltran and felt bad for him when he got jobbed in Glasgow, but he's had his title shot against Crawford and shouldn't get another one coming off of a loss.

Seriously, if he gets this fight this would be his third title shot in less than two years, having only beaten a 130-pounder who took the fight on short notice in between those fights. Beltran basically went from being fed to top prospects and getting raw deals to getting title shots after title shots.

man that stinks. i was always entertained by the baby bulls relentless style and work rate. too bad marquez did him in.. he did had some sucess early in that fight just marquez figured him out. i always laughed at the fact that his physic didnt show what his work rate was. funny how his flabby body have that much endurance. go champ, cant wait to see you in the ring again.
