I noticed Ring Magazine, ESPN, etc all have Byrd as the #1 heavyweight in the world...

Why is this?

He may have had a good resume, but aren't rankings made by what has been done as of late?

In his last few fights...

-Wlad Klitscho...lost and got knocked down twice
-Oquendo...lost but got a gift
-Golota...draw but got a gift
-McCline...won a very close fight
-Williamson...one of the most boring fights of all time, none of the fighters engaged in action or even did ANYTHING....

but look at Brewster in his recent fights

Wlad Klitschko - knocked him out cold...Wlad BEAT Byrd...

Meehan - Close fight, but Brewster has stated that the reason he didn't do good was because Meehan was a good friend of his and he just couldn't hurt him, we all know he would have destroyed Meehan...

Golota - Brewster came out of his corner and just pulverized him...another fighter that brewster destroyed that REALLY beat Byrd..

Krasniqi - Anyone that has seen this guy knows that he is a very good fighter, but Brewster gave him one of the most vicious knockouts since Lewis knocked out Rahman


IMO....Brewster > Byrd in recent accomplishments....

well i guess you can't really argue with that. I think it's only because Bryd Has had his title longer.

Wlad Klitschko - knocked him out cold...Wlad BEAT Byrd...



Brewster won by TKO you know that right? Wlad has never been knocked out cold :rolleyes:

He has defended his belt the longest and the most out of the current heavy's.
