    I'm just applying your logic to your fighter, no hard feelings. If a fight where Wlad outlands his opponent by a 3-1 ratio and only loses a round 10-9 on every judges scorecard in which he is KD is even, then Byrd was owned in his last two fights by a B level Oquendo who is just trash and a shot Golota.

          again with the Klit fanboys.

          Its not that he's losing and thats the reason he should retire. Its THE WAY Wlad is losing. He looks completeley shook in the ring now.Its obvious he is a scared fighter and afraid to pull the trigger in the ring.

          Weather you thought Byrd lost his last two fights or not they were good close action fights. He wasn't getting dusted by some laughing stock like Lamon Brewster and make no mistake about it Brewster is a laughing stock.

          Boxing is not black and white.You cant apply the same logic to every fighter, every fighter is different. You cant just say well these guys have all been KO'ed so they should all retire. Anyone who has any kind of boxing knowledge whatsoever would know this.

            By some posters logic, Wladimir Klitschko should retire at 28 years old because he lost a couple fights. So many people use the "he lost to him so he's better than him" analogy, doesn't that mean Chris Byrd should retire? After all, he lost badly to Wladimir.

            Imagine Lewis retiring after McCall, or Tyson retiring after Douglas. The list of examples could go on and on. Why should Wladimir be any different? Just think of all the great fights we would have missed if these men retired after their first KO loss.
            Unlike Wlad, Chris Byrd hasn't been KO'd by a journeyman (Brewster) and nearly KO'd by a never was (Williamson). Wlad can still make money and get paid well and work his way back into the title picture. But he'll never beat an A level heavyweight with a half way decent punch. Right now I'd make Wlad vs. Byrd II an even money fight.

              Exactly jose. Its almost like some Klit fans don't even know boxing, they just know the Klit brothers.

The fight with Sanders exposed Wlad, his confidence has been shattered and his chin revealed. From that fight Wlad has lost to the pathetic Brewster and was on his way to losing to TOS.

                Chris Byrd has recovered fully from the fight with Wlad and he has become a world champion. Wlad by contrast has become a pretender.

                Get over your obsession with the Klit brothers and stop acting like they can do no wrong. Its one thing to be passionate about your favorite fighter and it is another thing to be completely blind. You Torino are blind. Wlad should retire because he is a fraud.

                WHY CANT YOU FANATIC WLAD FANS SEE THAT WLAD CANT TAKE A PUNCH AND IS AFRAID TO GET HIT.
                Funny thing is.......It's YOUR logic.

                  Pretty much. It seems they only got into Boxing when they found out they had soemone represtenting them.

                  Im you try and explain some of the most basic stuff and its just flying over thier heads and they comeback with some of the most laughable post I have ever seen.

There is no objectivity involved, and all of the claims, that purport to have an objective view on the problem, are unfair, to say the least.
                    Wow, I wasn't sure anyone understood where is was going with the original question. I'm glad to see got it. Cheers Nautilus!
