Agreed there too...but comparing Klitschko to Byrd is something that really shouldn't be done.

There is a lot more to resurrect for the masses in Klitschko than there is Byrd.

Wlad has KO power...Byrd does not.
Wlad has a marketable style...Byrd does not.
Wlad has a massive amount of fans...Byrd does not.

We could go on & on...but in the end...it boils down to the power issue...& in the HW division...that's a necessity.
