Byrd back!

[ICB]

I suppose you can take partial credit for that, you and those of you who hold Tua in some unnecessarily lofty section of the boxing greatness realm. Any others?

tua is good fighter he almost beat ike who was bloody good himself tua is very hard hitter and very good chin bit like tyson

Holyfield(less past it then he is right now VERY less past it.. in fact coming off a victory against Rahman and at the time that was saying a little bit)

McCline outweighed him by 50 pounds and Byrd stood toe to toe with him.

Maurice Harris who knocked out Sergei Lyakovich(your current WBO Heavyweight Champ and the second best of the 4 champions right now)

and Vitali Klitschko

And was the longest reigning of the champions there were when he got his title, he held it until a few months ago while the other champions lost theirs

Did Byrd cause him to injure his shoulder by dodging his punches? Yes. So is Byrd responsible for causing Vitali's injury? Yes. So should Byrd get full credit for that win? YES!!

If Lewis and Wladimer can get credit for beating Ray Mercer(who lost the 40 Larry Holmes and it wasn't a SD like Harris' was) then Byrd should get the same credit.  And it's not like Harris couldn't do anything off of it.  He went on and beat Jeremy Williams(when Jeremy was considered something)  Had that wonderful slugfest with Derrick Jefforson and after losing to Byrd he knocked out Serguei Lyakhovich who is one of the two best of the 4 Heavyweight champs rightr now.  So Harris got a good resume other then losing to Larry

[ICB]

wlad fought a shot ray secondly larry was still ok back when he fought mercer remember larry won 5 rounds agaisnt prime holy and lost razor thin decision to oliver mccall didnt harris have 9-8 record when he fought larry ?? harris wasnt that good average or below average
larry when he fought mercer was 228
when he fought harris 248 and 5 years later

yes and like i said to lose to an almost 50 year old man when he is like 248 pounds round about 206 210 in his prime he cant be that good can he ?? holmes fought good against mercer and was 228 not bad for his age back then harris isnt good he got koed in 1 by henry akiwande for gods sake uh jeremy williams isnt that good either lost to sam peter by ko in 2 lost to brian nielsen by tko in 5 and williams lost to akiwande in 3 please he wasnt good neither was harris the only real thing williams done before losing to harris was lose md to donald ??

So, in summary, yes, Byrd was a good fighter who stood up to the 'behemoths' of the heavyweight division. Still entirely devoid of anything that keeps my ass on the edge of my seat. He could still vanish in to thin air for all I care. Wladdie ended him, but really and truly, he was done before that.

Byrd bores me stiff ! don't like his style at all ! Defense first is shit ! I hate a guy that comes out when the bell rings with open palms and on his heels ! You know Its going to be a long boring night of boxing !

It's "boxing" regardless.. the art of hitting and not get hit

Pernell Whitaker is boxing, Floyd Mayweather is boxing.

Byrd is not boxing, Byrd is more like "not get hit and try not to get hit". 100% boring . Byrd couldn't pop a paper sack , you can't count that slap punching as a hit . pathetic
