Because Byrd Sucks. Sorry, but it is the truth. I give the lil shat credit for outboxing Tuaman back in the day, and hangin with Vitali till he gave up, and to a degree outboxing old Holyfield. But from about the Oquendo fight on, he has really been crap. He lost to Golota. He probably shoulda lost to Mccline, I dunno for sure on the account of I refuse to watch that fight because both of them suck, and the mere thought of them in the same ring makes me sleepy. And then he executed a very brave yet very stupid fight plan against Wladimir. Guy should retire IMO.
CC.
I don't want to say that he sucks but I agree with everything else you said. The guy reached a point where he started losing to some questionable opposition...which either signifies that

A) He just started losing his skills

B) He just really never belonged in with the heavies.

I think that it's B.....the guy has a lot of skill but he needs to ride out his career in a lighter weight class. He kept repeating after the Wlad 2 that Wlad is so big. Well, maybe the guy should take the hint and drop weight. As I have said before, I would pay money to see him fight Bell.
So you're gonna tell me that the Tua fight the Harris fight. the Holyfield fight, the Golata fight and the McCline fight were all boring?
