    This doesn't happen everyday. I give him credit for wanting a degree that badly.

    He could always go to law school in 5 years! He should pursue a championship belt... Nothing beats glory in the ring! :deal

    and risk getting brain damage? He would still make good money as a lawyer.

    If you don't have the desire to be in the ring it's probably not best to keep boxing.

    Juan already made more than probably 95% of all fighters to ever lace them up. If he was smart with what he made, then he should already be set imo.

    Big surprise but good for Diaz.

    It's always easier to call it a day when you have something else going.

    Wish him all the best.

    He already won multiple titles at lightweight. He ain't beating no champions @ 140. He's better off using his brains at something good. Dude is pretty smart for him to get into law school.
