i have always liked chris byrd he was a small guy with a huge heart he didnt have a big punch but still got the job done against some really tough guys. i loved when he started rocking mccline around late he took alot of punishment early and then was able to come on big at the end and in the championship rounds to pull out the win! that fight was his best. wlad is just toooooooooo fuckin big!!!!!!!! chris has nothing to be asamed about that loss because if wlad was byrd's size it would have been alot different! hope to see him come back and beat maskaev or evev lyachovich next year
(though im sure if peter gets maskaev first peter will be champ) but i would give byrd a decent shot to beat peter!
