    What's next for Chris Byrd?

    He's 35 and will probably never surpass what he's already accomplished in his boxing career. IMO - he did very well and has nothing left to prove in boxing.

    Should he retire or continue boxing?

    he should retire IMO. I aint hatin on his game but the truth is that, chasing a belt now would be difficult fo him cuz he's past his peak time. He should retire and let the new catz thug it out. Byrd seems happy and ****** rich anyways.

        He should fight Ruiz next. That would be the fight of the century

            He shouldnt retire. He never had the style to beat Wlad. Ive been saying this is the worst matchup he could ever make. He doestn have the power to intimidate him. He cant use his speed as well. He can still win some fights and I think he will.

              A retirement is an option. I believe Chris can give us a couple of interesting fights though. I think cruisers division is interesting now, and Chris could fight with Bell or Mormeck -- that'll be a very good fight.

              I have a lot of respect for Chris. He's got a good family too.

                I don't see any reason for Byrd to retire.

                So what? I don't like him personally? that's no reason. He's a skilled guy with a huge heart that lost a fight to the best heavyweight on earth.

                Big deal. He's still better than 9/10 guys in the division.

                  He could be a king at cruisers and actually would probably be able score KOs at that weight.

                    Where's Irvine and Aikman? Alone they were superstars, but together they formed the most dominant passer-reciever-rusher combo in football. I dare say ever.

                    On topic... I think Byrd has a few fights left in him. Please stop with the "over the top" and "past his prime" crap. Look at nearly all the greats. They fought well into their late thirties. Some into their fourties, so there are still a few fights left in Byrd.
