I think Lewis would have won for certain. I am not sure if he stops him or gets a decision. Chris Byrd had a hell of a chin and he was a slick fighter. I always felt a little sorry for Chris Byrd because he never got the big title shot vs anyone but Wladimir and man did Wlad have his number.
Chris earned money in a very hard way....I think had he started as a light heavyweight and moved to cruiserweight more people would be impressed by him and compare him more favorably to the likes of Roy Jones Jr, Evander Holyfield, James Toney, and Michael Moorer....not saying he's better just saying he'd be compared with those guys more.
Lennox Lewis was too fucking big and too good with the jab to lose on points to Byrd and he'd certainly hurt Byrd but not sure if he'd certainly stop him....maybe 70/30 on Lewis winning by KO vs UD.
