What next for Ryan Rhodes (Retire or continue)?

You're a long time retired.

If he has the ambition to carry on at domestic/european level he can do it.

That aint enough for some though, and if he wants to walk, he can do so with his head held high.

 

There's no point as far as I'm concerned. I don't think Alvarez is "that good" and Ryan did absolutely nothing. Going back to the European level would be a bit shattering, but if he needs money, carry on because he's not horribly shot.

 

Who would give him another title shot based on him v Alvarez?

Demotivate him? Well yeah.. that's what happens when you lose.

It's completely up to him if he wants to rebuild but I can't see him ever winning an alphabelt belt now unfortunately. If he carries on though.. I can see him in a prizefighter tournament soon.

 

Hard to say It's not like he got outclassed by a nobody.

 

He said after the fight he was going to continue at Euro level.

 

He allready said after the fight that he will fight again and pick up a domestic/euro title.

 

See someone was listening

 

For me Retire..even Nelson pretty much said same he knows Ryan's done and will just be fighting for extra £££.

 

If he need the ££ then keep boxing on... He could be a good stepping stone for younger fighters!

 

Agree with most of whats said he should only carry on fighting now if he wants money, hes not gonna get another shot or be able to beat other top guys IMO and im a fan who thought he had a decent chance against Alvarez but he was thoroughly outclassed.

 

Depends what he wants to achieve. World title ambitions probably out of the question but if he just loves the sport he could carry on at domestic / euro level for a couple of years

 

he can make a good few quid still, but i think he should forget any world level ambitions

 

If Rhodes wants to continue fighting there's no reason for him to retire. He's still capable of giving many up and coming fighters a good test.
