He got as far as his ability would let him. I hope he enjoys his retirement and uses his money wisely.

This is a good thing. Outstanding blood and guts guy who's earned a clean exit.

Smart decision. Hopefully he will use his money wisely and won't end up broke and making a return to boxing to get beat up.

Wise choice by Diaz.. There's no point in staying the game when you are as limited as he is.. Had he got a fight with Marquez, that might have been the end of him..
