what's next for juan diaz?

He gave JMM all he could handle early and yes the body work is great for a guy whose punches sound like they have pop and has rocked guys before he never stops any body with blow or KO he always gets the stool quits

 

i was hoping for katsidis 2 but that wont happen next now because of the mitchell fight,either way he should go back to 135,a fight with the soto/diaz winner would be a good comeback bout.

 

130, 126 even. All the flab he carries round slows him down, and he may have more power at a lower weight.

 

he could make 130 & be successful there.

 

Getting rocked by pillow fisted malignaggi is not a good sign...


Can't believe three years ago people are claiming he would starch pac...SAD

 

Back to 135. I think a couple of easier, winnable fights in preparation for one more big one would be good for him. After one more big payday, he probably should retire. His style means he takes a lot of punches to the head, and if he really wants to be a lawyer after he retires, he should get out before he suffers any brain damage.

 

That's interesting. I had heard that Diaz usually swims instead of doing road work.

 

Im still expecting a JMM-Diaz rematch in July.

 

Their talking about a Marquez vs Diaz rematch for this summer...

 

From wot i've been reading they do both.

 

Agree. You always get some who want fighters retire lose when they lose a fight or two. Diaz may be on the slide but there are too many fights and paydays for him to walk away from when he is still a young and talented fighter. For him to retire now would be an incredibly bad financial move, he'll make more in a few big fights than he will from years of non boxing work.

 

This right here should be his gameplan. Make a little more money... and then get the **** out and pursue a less brain damaging career. :!:

 

juan diaz is a warrior he may have lost 3 out of his last 4 outings but he has fought some good opponets. i really like his style and like watching him fight.

 

Unlike most other fighters, he has a career lined up after boxing where he can continue to make good money for the next 50 years. But if he ends up punch drunk, the paychecks end after he stops fighting.
