I KNOW I'm in the minority on this one, but I was ecstatic when Byrd got KO'd by Vladimir. To me, Byrd has been one of the most boring heavyweights in recent times. A nice guy and all that, but BORING. And that's saying a lot, given the state of the division. Byrd never belonged in the heavyweights. You can be a good boxer, and still try to be offensive-minded once in awhile. Byrd was not. He finessed his way to a heavyweight belt, only underscoring how messed up the division was and still is. The heavyweight division doesn't need the Chris Byrds right now. It needs more Vladimirs, who has been consistently improving since his two devastating losses to Sanders and Brewster.
