    Is he the new Pele Reid or can he come back?

    Reid came back from the Francis defeat on a suicidal mission against Orlin Norris and he career was over at that point.

    I would like him to have a confidence winning bout and then hopefully a Prize Fighter tournament will come around and give him the chance of redemption

    its not about rebuilding him in the ring, its about rebuilding him in the gym. a fighter like that needs to assess himself. he needs to lose a **** load of muscle so he isn't some overmuscled gun swinger. he needs to be bottom heavy rather than top heavy. he needs to get serious about his training. he was covering the front of his ****ing face in the corner. he didn't have a clue.

    His trip to the Wild Card did not pay off

    No but you can learn to protect it, and not come in open and just swinging for a KO, look at khan and wlad as to examples of guys with bad KO losses who came back and did well, and yes im more then aware they were good fighters and skilled in the first place, but if he learns to protect his chin and use his advantages better, then he could still have a decent career in boxing, even if is only uk or euro level

    Or maybe chop them off at the knees, make him a bit more sturdy.

    :lol:

    It's a shame, he seems like a nice fella. No1 was talking him up as the savour of the HW division. But he could have a row. Technically he is just not that good.

    its taken roach many fights and many years to mould the likes of pac and khan. they are infinitely more talented than larry. larry can't take a trip, he has to live in places like the wild card. he needs to find the best coach he can and start travelling to any camp that will have him.
