Comments Thread For: Juan Diaz Retires, The Sport of Boxing Loses

[sweetpea87]

He's got nothing to be ashamed of. He always came to fight and made it exciting and didn't duck anyone. He is retiring with his health in good condition and making a smart move by going to law school. I hate to see him go, but I wish him the best of luck.

everyone is so big on him and i don get it... sure he's a good young charismatic boxer

but to say 'the sport of boxing loses' i think is an overstatement

we've 'lost' much greater to much more tragic.... good for him that he is now able to do what he's going to do and good for him and boxing regarding the things he's been able to do in the ring

sport of boxing loses what?

juan diaz is a joke good luck with your lawyer business and your truck business but that will not go far. He should have stood and fought a couple more fights and made a few more million instead of becoming an average joe blow.

This fool came from poverty and used boxing to land him at an ivy league school. He worked hard in and out of the ring, and because of that he got into the highest of highs you can get into in America. A place usually reserved for the children of millionaires and elites. Diaz did it with his head and his hands.

Unlike some average joe blow talking smack about him on the internet, Diaz is actually going to have an impact on people's lives. He wont need to come back to boxing because boxing didn't use him, he used boxing.

I'll always remember him for the Marquez fight and for how he whipped Katsidis.

Props to Baby Bull, he always came to fight.


Im still shocked Malignaggi buckled him, Paulie has no power.

Paulie buckled Cotto and Hatton. And although not a big feat, he left Amir Khan's face looking pretty touched up.

He can't KO you, but he can buckle you with a good shot.

And about Juan Diaz, not really gonna miss him. Didn't think much of him as a boxer, he was okay. But good luck to him with his new career.
