Should Chris Byrd retire?

[guru]

no, not you jabs..... the "haters" are the guys that won't admit wlad is athletic, quick and has a good offense or that VK can take a punch and is a decent boxer himself.... they think both klits are slow, lumbering giants with no skill.... haters are just as bad as nutlickers, in regards to being objective....

Byrdy's not retiring until he rematches and beats vitali!

Look, Byrd has no excuse for even being touched by someone that much heavier and slower than he is. That being said, I think he is an excellent pure boxer who just isn't appreciated by modern boxing fans who want a knockout in every fight. I think the fact that he has become easier to hit in recent fights is linked directly to his constantly being criticized for not fighting his opponents. As for Wlad, I will say this once again, many of you are still posting as if everyone thinks that Vitali and Wlad are the next coming of Christ. I don't see any posts of that nature, and when I mention it in my posts, no one ever replies. I saw someone post that Lewis never got Sanderized like Wlad did. That's because both of his KO losses were one-punch affairs where he could barely stand, much less get up and fight. Make no mistake, Sanders would have had a field day with Lewis. My point is this, you guys keep on saying that pretty much anyone who likes the Klits are blind, know-nothings who are terribly biased in their opinions, and yet the Klit haters seem to always come up with wonderful one-lined posts that basically consist of "just face it, your guy is done, Klit lover". Where is the logic in that? I'll end this post now, since no one is going to discuss it logically with me anyway. Later

Man, this post is about Byrd retiring not Wlad retiring. I could understand your point and scrolling down the different forums of different websites I noticed that basically all the hate posts are alike that sum up to " I hate him! He is just a big *****". I also noticed that not that many fans ever stepped into the ring and fought because the appriciation level of boxers that even lost, unless it's your favorite boxer, is very low.
So unless fighter calls it quits nobody should tell him to.(besides doctor and family members)

Oh yeah, and Byrd's a great fighter and all, but if he waits until he beats Vitaly, he'll be fighting an awfully long time. I only posted the stuff about Wlad because the guy that started the post said that based on logic some have used to determine that Wlad should retire, Byrd should retire as well. I personally don't think either of them are washed up.
