To be fair Byrd was underratted but some of his big wins were against a guy who lost every round to then he throw his shoulder out. Then the other was Holyfeild who was 41 years of age had hep b and hart complications as well as being pretty shop worn. I don't really know how to rate that era it was kinda of a time were division didn't quite have a champ yet they were pretty spread out. I can see your point though I think people favor the past over the present regardless its just a part of boxing really.
