    *The philosopher is true to his name with that awesome breakdown of Cris Byrd...

    *U guys aren't gunna believe this ,but my whole Holmes debate was really to get to this point... cuz i knew people would debate Cris Bird. Man, i forgot about James Thunder.

    *Another point i liked from "the philosopher"is what he said about Jamile Mccline. Mccline was a beast.. a true heavyweight in a heavyweits body. People forget just how tough and threatening this man really was.

    p.s.. if i misspell alot, please excuse ,as i am posting from my phone....

    Mccline was built like a monster. To bad he fought like a pussy. The way he went down and coward in a corner against Wlad was pathitic.

    Byrd-Williamson remains one of the worse I fights I ever seen in life.

    Phil i read about six words of your post and realised your a bit of a sociapath. And a dim one at that.

    I didn't rate him because I found him boring and a bit of a powder puff.

    Then he had those last two fights at cruiser and then lightheavy and it was like a light went on....

    The guy went 30+ rounds with the K-Bros and nearly everyone else worth fighting while now clearly being a blownup lightheavy weight. Your little story does nothing to prove otherwise.

    Like I said... he's a very very brave man.

    Also... How you assumed I don't rate this guy and that guy from this statement I'll never know

    I agree. You clearly don't.

    For the record prime Holmes batters the living day lights out of Chris Byrd. Holmes would set him up with the jab and finish him off with the right hand.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I couldn't agree more. Byrd was a decent HW. He could give anyone a half decent fight on his night but Holmes is an ATG and as much as he irritates me these days that cannot and never will be taken away from him.

    And I'll "third" that remark. I'm a certified Holmes-HATER... but still... there's no way Chris Byrd comes anywhere near close to beating Holmes. Holmes sweeps the canvas with Byrd 10 times out of 10.
