....I wish he would have done this a long time ago. Byrd was a good heavyweight but he tried to fight the big guys and he just couldn't handle them.

I would have liked Byrd to have fought: Sultan, Chagaev, and even Mesi.


I wonder about Byrd's power though, I am wondering if it will suffer with the weight loss as well as his speed...Byrd never punched hard for a heavyweight but he SHOULD punch hard for a light heavyweight
