Chris Byrd vs. Montell Griffin , both prime at 175, Byrd could always easily make 175

[frankenfrank]

prime vs. prime
both are of the same age , debuted in the same year and Griffin even started at a higher weight.
spoiler vs counterpuncher , a superb classic stylistic match .
How did this never happen ? even in 2008-2010 , but even prior to.

4 those who insist on Byrd being unable 2 comfortably make 175 , while u r wrong , consider it a 185 lbs catchweight (each man can come as low as he wishes as long as it's not above 185)
Byrd turned pro @ 169 @ age 23 (almost) and weighed in as low as 171 later that year while even closer 2 age 23 . Then he weighed in as low as 174 @ 2008 @ age of almost 38 . if u think he couldn't make 175 comfortably @ any point in his career , especially given d 24 (?) hours weigh in then u r wrong . But if it makes u feel better , consider it a 180 lbs catchweight between d 2 .
Also , Griffin's weight while @ d same age (around 23) @ d same time (1993) varied from a 173 lowest up 2 a 183.75 highest and reached d round 190 as soon as 1994 , about 2 months b4 Griffin turned 24 . Griffin also weighed in above d 175 limit whenever there was no title @ stake . Griffin was quite a fully fledged 175 , Byrd n overstuffed 175 (if not 16 . In terms of weight these men r closer 2 each other than most believe . Griffin represented d USA @ 1992 @ 178 , Byrd represented d USA @ 1992 @ 165 . Griffin only 2 months older than Byrd and it makes little difference @ age 22 . Not 2 mention i just showed that their natural and unnatural weights remained similar until d age of 24 and @ post age 35 (Griffin weighed in as high as 188 @ age 40 vs Ross Thompson only 2 drop 10 lbs d year later 4 his last fight)
