Chris Byrd is unappreciated, bigtime!

Or you could come back when you actually knew something about the evolution of sports.

Yeah so if Robinson had all the modern advantages that todays fighters have he still couldn't beat KT, give me a friggin break. He would beat him, regardless. If your comparing old and new you have to equalize it by giving the old timers the advantage of having todays training and nutrition techniques.

Thats not the way the question was worded man. Oh course he would beat him if he had modern advantages, but without them he loses.

No give me a break. There was a big argument in another thread that new fighters don't have any advantages over old fighters in training and preparation for fights. If you think they don't then you are a dunce as well.

I used to like Byrd a lot. Now I am confused, since whenever I think of Byrd, I actually think of this forum and of CITA. CITA had mercilessly attacked Wlad a-la RJJ, which Byrd had actually never done. I respect Byrd becasuse he is not like RJJ.

I am beginning to think that way as well. Too bad him and Jose retreated into the hills when they realized that they were wrong. Oh well...

My favorite fight involving Chris Byrd was around '96 or '97, when he fought Tim Puller " the hebrew hammer" Puller was an arrogant m.f.er, before the fight he held up a stuffed tweety bird and said, " This is chris byrd," and he punched it across the room. Well, there was a knockout in that fight, i think in the 3rd or 4th round, but it was Puller on the canvas, KTFO'd. Byrd was my favorite heavyweight for a couple of years after that, he's definitely more talented than 99% of the heavyweights out there. i mean we should give the guy props for his huge heart, he's a small heavyweight who fights these huge monsters and beats most of them

Actually he has been trying to get the rematches but he keeps getting turned down because they realize that they got lucky. Grow up you big baby. Do you want your bottle?

Yeah, they all got lucky. All THREE of them.

Luck is winning the lottery. That happens once in a lieftime.

Wlad has been owned and KTFOd three times by mediocre fighters.

He lost to Purrity, Sanders and Brewster. Not Louis, Marciano and Ali.

I don't mind Byrd so much. I hate his style and the fact that he doesn't hit hard, but the man has serious skills. I don't think he's head and shoulders above all other HW's in terms of skill as Wlad is a more skilled offensive fighter...and Toney is just as defensively sound, just as slick, and is better offensively IMO. I hope Byrd attempts to unify in the near future here.

Where are these advantages? What fighter today could fight 5/6/7/8 times a year for 15 rounds and even function two or three years down the line?
