Thread: What is wrong with Chris Byrd fighting still...Against bums!!!

I know not many out there are big fans of Chris...I admit I was because he managed to win HW titles in an era of big big men by doing what we see rarely these days...Purely Boxing.....

Was he flashy or was he exciting....No but astill always a professional in and out of the ring...a good face for the sport....

He did something else I admired...He tried to drop down to LHW when HW boxing became comepletly dead and tried to make another run at a weight more naturally suited for him....Sadly enough he was 37 and the drop effected him too much...he was embaressed with not only a KO loss but not even being competitive against a guy he would have outboxed easily during his prime years...(I am not making that sound as If Shaun George was a bum because he is a tough kid but you get the idea)...

Why now is he fighting at CW against a guy with a 4-3 record...yes he won but c'mon Chris...

Shame to see these gys do this to themselves out of the need to stay in the ring......

Maybe he and Jones can start a division for the washed up or something..

TYhese two guys can have an elimination bout to see who fights for the Title

Shannon Miller
Phillip Hammac

Kind of sad really
