David Reid?

his biggest mistake was fighting tito way too early in his career... I think this is a big part of the downfall of Reid. There are other factors i think that should be rasied. Firstly Reid's chin was not good. He was always gonna be vunerable. he had a decent right hand but not enough power to compensate for the chin. He was badly managed. Reid was dropped twice i believe by James Coker in the fight before Tito. Coker wasn't a banger and his management shouldn't have thrown him to the dogs, especially being only his 15th pro fight. If he had had more experience he might have been able to have not get hit as much and would hve had a chance of winning. Its a shame, but its also boxing.

his biggest mistake was fighting tito way too early in his career but he would have been fine beaten but fine had he not injured his eye so badly. he had to fight with one eye the tale end of what should have been his road to fame and glory. thats bad luck and bad management by his team. when did and why would he fight jeff lacy?

like they say they put them with the best to be the best and it didn't work out...besides it was a great oppurtunity... but he got fucked up... he droped tito.... but only made him stronger

his eye was droopy too. poor reid i had high hopes for him to be around a while. whyd those idiot promoters feed him to trinidad like that? here's an eerie article guys http://www.latinosportslegends.com/TrinidadReid_Conference.htm

Can anyone tell me what happened to David Reid? I used to enjoy watching him fight but have not heard of him in ages. He used to be a talented fighter but had a habbit of dominating the first half of his fights and then pretty much packing his bags. I know he got spanked ny tito and last time i saw him was on friday night fights squeezing out a decision. Cheers. He got a detached retina. Its like a death sentence for a boxer. It why Sugar Ray Leonard retired and why the couple of comback fights he was so afraid of getting hit. If you continue to fight with a detached retina A) you can easily detach it again B) with the impact of a punch detach your good eye (detached eyes are always degraded and never as good as they were originally) Basically your putting yourself in a position to be blind!

It was the detached retina that knocked him out of boxing, wasn't it? I'm sure the Tito fight was pretty demoralizing as well. Maybe it took the fight out of him, like Cory Spinks' loss to Zab.

Reid was never the same after Tito :( He was a young contender who was thrown in the ring with a monster who had one of the best left hooks in boxing. :D

Shame, he took tito on way too early and ended up ruined, good chin but tito destroyed like he did vargas'

he was ko'd by a part time boxer / cop a few years back and gave it up because of his eye... i'm the same way always liked the guy real champ in my book we need more like him

Jeff Lacy beat him whompedly! Um, your thinking of Robin Reid smart guy. Because he fought his last fight two years before Pac beating Barrera you would have no idea who he is. Pwned doo.
