JAVIER "Suzuki" DIAZ

   Javier Diaz started out as a professional Flyweight in 1981 and fought as a professional until 1999.  He turned pro on April 1, 1981 (No fooling!) with a 4th round tko of Hector Benavides in Mexico.  "Suzuki" won his first 16 in a row before losing by 5th round tko to Mario Gonzalez (10-1-1, 9 KO) in Harlingen, TX. on Aug. 17, 1982.

   He continued to battle on with streaks of wins and losses, winning several different Mexican State Titles along the way.  He was a journeyman who fought several world champions, and world ranked contenders including:  Gaby Canizales, Orlando Canizales, Cesar Soto, and Paul Gonzales before fighting for and winning the Mexican National Flyweight Title with a 12 round decision over Willy Salazar in June of 1989.  He lost that title in his first defense but fought on and challenged for several minor title belts.

   He soon became an opponent for world class champions, losing to: Marco Antonio Barrera, Paulie Ayala, Sergio Reyes, Tim Austin, Clarence "Bones" Adams and Joel Casamayor to name a few.  Just as he started his career with a long winning streak, he ended with 10 losses in a row. 

   July 2nd 1999 was his last appearance in the ring as he was knocked out by undefeated Juan Jose Arias (27-0, 22 KO) in the 5th round of a Jr. Lightweight bout in Fresno, CA.  Diaz was short on stature (standing about 5 feet tall), but had plenty of heart with 99 professional bouts!

   He finished his carrer with a record of 45 wins, 49 losses, 4 draws, and 11 knockouts.

DENNIS MILTON

Nickname: "The Magician"

Dennis Milton was a celebrated amateur, winning the New York Golden Gloves 4 years straight.  He turned pro on July 11, 1985 with a 4th round tko over Greg Jones at the Felt Forum in New York.  He stepped into the spotlight when he took his 11-2-1 record into a fight against undefeated hot prospect Gerald Mcclellan and pulled the 6 round decision upset.  From that point on, Milton would only face world class opposition.  It was a hot streak as he scored 4 wins against Mcclellan, Robbie Sims, Michael Olajide, and Jose Duran Martinez in a row.  He finally got his shot at the WBC World Title, on Sept. 14 1991, but was stopped in 1 round by the power punching champion Julian "The Hawk" Jackson.  He returned to the ring on Jan. 31, 1992 but was stopped in 4 rounds by the future legend Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins.  Dennis fought his last pro bout nearly 3 years later as he was stopped by Aaron "Superman" Davis in 3 rounds at the Atlantic City Convention Hall.  Milton was a slick boxer who brought a lot of excitement to the boxing scene in the late 1980s.  He finished his career with a record of 16-5-1, 5 KO's.
