Comments Thread For: Chris Byrd Fought Chronic Pain And Depression; Now He Wants To Fight At 50

[aaronbnb]

If he wants to fight at age 50, he didn't treat his depression properly.

Bird was well on steroids at heavyweight he seem to be pretty buff for putting on so much weight and if he was eating constant junk he would be fat

Byrd -Mike Tyson, make it happen.

I agree with everything you said.

Personally I could’ve done without the complaining though.

That Byrd fought at HW, became champ made a great career for himself I’m proud of Byrd, huge fan and well documented here.

Even though Byrd cost me thousands in a 6-1 payout when they robbed Fres Oquendo!

Huge fan of Byrd. I could do without the admission of depression and battles with mental health.

That’s a given, like you said for any warrior. Byrd is 100% true warrior. Completely agree.

Respect. Hopefully he can be a bit more realistic with his goals at age 50. I doubt any commission is going to be sanctioning fights for him, so like many others have posted, I wish him the best in finding satisfaction outside of him entering a boxing ring in 2020 and beyond.

Vitali Klitschko must be proud to see his papi fighting again.

It seems everyone who makes more money than we'll ever see, and spends their life doing their passion for a living instead of a crappy nine to five is drowning in depression and misery. Add to that a supportive wife and kids who do their best to get you through it, and it's the seventh circle of hell, apparently..

I guess its hard to go back to a normal life after having been on top.

Foreman had incredible toughness and power on his side. Byrd has no power and has been battered more than a few times. If he is going to do this then do it slowly and ramp up towards maybe one serious fight against someone who can’t Ibeabuchi you.

he looks great on his instagram at 50, bit of a hopkins lookalike

Maybe, but alot of them are moaning while they're still on top. Crying from their 100 acre properties while others amongst us live in the block of a thousand arseholes..

He's knowledgeable and well spoken, please give him Paulie's job commentating or something before he gets himself hurt ffs
