Comments Thread For: Juan Diaz Explains Reasons For Retirement From Boxing

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

he lost his last fights he should not be a journey men and should move on in law retire boxing don't let it retire you good job diaz

[PRINCE O' PROSE]

panda's gonna miss him...he was about as exciting as a fighter with no punching power gets and he had the heart of a lion

all the best to him

For once, this dope makes a good post I can agree with.


Diaz' past achievements now seem to be dismissed out of hand by too many. At his best, he was a very good fighter, who brought a skillful, nuanced brand of pressure to his opponents and has some nice wins and accomplishments. I was never an uber-fan, but I feel it's a touch unfair that he became such a lightly regarded fighter since the KO defeat to Marquez.

He should have fought his scheduled fight. Retire with a W and give the fans one last performance.

However still, you can't knock the man. He fought his heart out and used boxing a tool to secure his future, not make a payday, buy a buncha ****, and be broke by the time he hits 30.

Great example for all boxers coming up. Hats off to the baby bull.

[Pinoy4ever]

Good for him but I wouldn't be surprised to him make a comeback in the future.

[vacon04]

Good for him, he had some good moments but he had 4 loses in his last 6 fights. Better to retire now than after a KO that can hurt him for life. Good luck to him.

Best of luck Juan, great job. We all knew this was coming. This guy is a true role model. Too few have a plan like Juan Diaz, his parents must be very proud.

Not one thank you to the supportive judges in Houston.

But goodluck to your new career Juan Diaz.

Too bad we didn't get to see Pac vs Diaz at 135 when Pac moved up. It was firework waiting to happen if it happened LOL.

[starjammer]

Great decision. Wish him best of luck for the future.

He was a great to watch. Thank you Juan Diaz for the memories
