Recently defeated Byrd now targets cruiserweight title

[Gandalf]

its a top idea for byrd....i just dont figure why it hasnt really been considered with more seriousness prior to now....

byrd can have a good final year or 2 by moving down....

Leon Spinks did this in the early 1980s and won a few fights but got kayoed in his title fight vs Dwight Qawi at Cruiserweight. That is the only similarity between these two fighters. Byrd can box with a record of 39-3-1. Leon couldn't with a record of 25-17.
