Chris Byrd should drop to light heavyweight! IMO

[Jody Lane]

This wouldn't be the first time a heavyweight champ tried cruiserweight. Leon Spinks tried it without much success. But Byrd has talent, Spinks didn't.

Yeah but didnt' Byrd use to be at cruiser years back? I might be mistaken though. If so I don't really see him having any trouble going back down.

When Byrd first started out he weighed 169 and was up to 204 by his fourth fight.

Really I had no idea about that. So I still don't see him having any trouble getting down to cruiser then. Come on its not like he's James Toney or something.

Chris said he wouldn't feel challenged by anyone if he went down to Cruiserweight and he doesn't want the easy route in a btalk interview.

I think Bell would give him a challenge maybe even Mormeck. I just don't see the point in Byrd staying in Heavyweight. He's not going to be that successful there anymore.

He might be able to compete at cruiserweight, but he's too old to drop that much weight. Look what happened when Roy Jones went back down, he never was the same.

Yeah but Roy tried to do it way to fast. One fight he was at light heavy then the next heavy then back down to light. I think Byrd would have the samething happen to him. First he's been at Heavy for longass time and he's not dropping down to light heavy either were talking about cruiser which I really don't think is that much weight for him. How much did he weigh during th Wlad fight? Anyone know.

I also think he could take out roy also, old or young roy. What do you guys think?

I think you're having a laugh, mate.
