Byrd needs to stay retired (if he is). his brother Patrick can barely put a sentence together and I dont know if its from those Byrd family basement fights or what be when he worked at Meijer he was in bad shape. he was actually banned from using the PA system. I dont wanna see that happen to Byrd cause he's a good guy. I can understand Patrick perfectly. Maybe your talking about Ronnie?

It could still be an ok fight.....if they both come in at the low 200s, they are both old and way past their best so it evens out. i'd rather see tua-toney. it could be really , really boring or really , really exciting. :lol1:

16y ago

It should have and could have happened but never did........they could still do it now if you want......anyone? i don't know. byrd really destroyed his body trying to drop back to 175. not that toney is in a much better condition.

16y ago

The speedy guys who could move in and out on Toney while throwing combinations always gave Toney trouble like Jones and Nunn did, Byrd is also a southpaw like Nunn. I think this would've been a close decision like several of Byrd's fights that could go either way.

16y ago

damn an all MI matchup. since Ann Arbor>Flint and Toney was on his way to a title, I'm picking Toney. although he'd probably test positive after the fight.....

16y ago

damn no one cares about this fantasy matchup? i think it would have been an interesting fight back in 2004.

16y ago

Byrd puts a schooling on the vastly overrated James 'The Lights Are Out And There's Nobody Home' Toney. :dance: toney hater. :nonono:

16y ago

Toney shoulder rolls him to death. i don't know about to death. i do think toney wins by ud though.
