A rematch with Diaz I'd accept. But nothing more. He could take another 12 rounds against Diaz, only this time get it at a neutral venue to avoid the robbery. I'm still pissed Morales was denied a Mexican record thanks to a hometown decision. Things like this should not happen.
I've mention this before. David Diaz is not a very much threat with Erik's health. Diaz throws a lot of shots but they're not quality punches. If Erik was going against the other 2 Diazs or Casa, then I wouldn't recommend him exchanging blows with those animals.
Well Erik said right after the fight that Diaz's punches were hurting him to the head, and that's one of the reasons he needed to retire, that punches that didn't use to bother him were now hurting him badly.
"right after the fight"? I watched the interview again (translated in english) right after the fight. Erik never mentioned anything about Diaz was hurting him in the head. He just said "Diaz is a tough fighter, difficult fighter to fight and just kept coming on and on and on".
