Chris Byrd ***insults*** Riddick Bowe to his face, says he FOUGHT ALL WRONG

[Master]

That was interesting and true what Byrd said that Bowe should have beaten Holyfield easier than he did with all the advantages that he had. Also implying that he should have been champion for longer.

Also interesting that both said Herbie Hide hit them the hardest.

[brocktonblockbust]

yes indeed, he fought down to Evander's size, but Bowe for a huge guy was an awesome infighter and I think he got the better of Holyfield, but he gave Holy too many shots.

Funny Bowe was complaining about the dirty attacks Holyfield used against him but I remember Bowe punching low in the first fight.

Chris Byrd is correct sir! And you can tell by listening to him speak vs listening to Bowe speak. Now Chris got tagged a lot but not like Bowe, to tag Chris Byrd you had to catch him, to tag Bowe you just had to throw a punch he wasn't going to let you miss him.



As Teddy Atlas says "He'd get his feelings hurt if you missed him with a punch"



Riddick Bowe had all the tools to be everything people wanted him to be, I think he could have ruled the division a lot longer and he could have ended Evander's career entirely in 2 fights had he fought properly.



Exciting bouts shorten careers that's the plain simple truth of the matter.

Evander Holyfield was ever fighters bogeyman he just would not go away and gave Bowe, Moorer, Tyson and Lennox hell of a fight.

Oh he's a long night for anyone! Evander could box, he could stick and move, he could go toe to toe, he could land bombs, everything in boxing Evander could do.


I often wonder how Evander Holyfield vs Ike Ibeabuchi would have gone down.....I certainly know Evander would not lose that fight, I'm just wondering if he would have KO'd Ike.

Chris Byrd vs Michael Dokes or Michael Moorer would have been wonderful fights prime for prime

Byrd telling it like it is. Bowe could have made the fight easier for himself but Holyfield was always a taxing fight.

First time thinking about Moorer and Byrd and interesting. Like the similarities with "smaller" guys evolving careers to be top heavyweights though Moorer was an absolute beast at lt hvy. Definitely seemed to lose some of that mindset after. Both had fantastic hands and quality jabs. Always tempted to pick against Moorer because of his chin but he might actually surprise Byrd with true power in Moorers fast jab and catch up to him. Be a fun one for sure.

El Presidente with the workrate and chin he showed against Tuaman would have kept Holyfield on the outside
