    Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

    Great example of getting out when you should. The guy had a good career, was in some great fights, probably made some good money and is now going into law-there's a lesson to be learnt for a lot of boxers here!

    I thought he said he was retiring and then there was the talk that he was getting the fire back looks like he is retiring for good then. He had a very good career that had plenty of thrills and spills he has probably made some good money and he is exiting it with his health intact and with some great business prospects for himself in the future well done to the lad.

    If only all fighters could say the same

    Good boxer, was the best Lightweight at one point and in a FOTY. Can be proud of his career.

    This is a good little Diaz vid, even though he lost the fight.

    I think after this fight the game was up at the top level. Around this time he'd have dominated Paulie, but he put everything into this and came up short.

    Rather him get out now than become a lower top 10 fighter getting bashed up for no reason.

    Best of luck to him in the future.

    He was awesome against Freitas but then he went downhill after Nate Campbell

    For his fight against marquez alone he should be able to be very happy with his career. Best of luck to him seemed liek a decent guy
