    After the shoulder heals he plans on fighting his way back to the top at lt. heavy. "Three fights, three wins and then the title" "I was weak from rapid weight loss and a early shoulder injury in my last fight. I will not make the mistake of losing 35 pounds right before the fight again".


    Possible opponents, Thomas Ulrich, Joe Spina, or Elvir Muriqi,


    I have my doubts but I wish him well.

    He looked sick against George so it's a plausible excuse. I still think he's done though.

    If he wants to give it one more try, sure, but Ulrich and Muriqi seem like tough guys for him to face after being dominated by George. Joe Spina on the other hand is someone he could get his bearing against. If he can't beat Spina convincingly though, he should just retire, go into commentating or something. He seems like a smart, well-spoken guy, I'm sure there's plenty he can do besides box.

    He would be better off going back up to heavyweight. Fight Sam Peter or Arreola and hope both Klitschkos die or get out of boxing altogether.

    Byrd actually had a very compelling explanation about the similarities between his situation and De La Hoya's situation. There were quite a number of identical factors. It was very hard to disregard.

    i think he should just retire... the man has taken a lot of punishment from big men in his life.... retire now while no more damage is done. Wether hes succesful or not in a return... more damage WILL be done... there is no more glory to be had..... hes already an awsome boxer to most fans and will be remembered fondly by most id say.

    retire, imo

    If he has some left, maybe then, I'd say retire...but if he still has it then go 4 it
