Byrd back!

[Purist]

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?

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

holyfield victory he shouldnt get no credit he was well shot bit like tyson was against williams maurice harris got beat by 46 or 48 year old holmes cant remember exactly how old he was i thought vitali injured his shoulder ??

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!!

i didnt say he shouldnt i was just saying he injured his shoulder only ones u mentioned he should get credit for are vitali mccline and tua harris wasnt good like i said he got beat by almost 50 yr old man and hoylfield was well shot

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
