Really I thought Chris Byrd just ran from Holyfield in their fight. Toney took it to him and beat his ass straight up. Byrd really should move down to cruiser if he expects much success these days. I dont see him doin it against the giant heavyweights around right now. We've already seen that Wladimir Klitschko can crush him any day. In fact I'm pretty sure after their last bout, I heard "The Steel Hammer" utter the old famous quote, "...if he dies, he dies." Or was that Byrd's wife? She certainly couldnt seem to keep her mouth shut. Maybe CB needs to hire a trainer that can yell louder than that cow so he can get some decent instructions instead of just being told to "move his hands" while he's getting his ass beat.
