Chris Byrd is unappreciated, bigtime!

[Duncan]

Byrd is unwatchable.....

My personal position is that I cannot stand to watch Byrd fight. It is a miserable experience. An evening at the fights where Byrd is on the card finds a fan watching him slap opponents, yell "WHOOOOO!" 400 times every fight like he is mildly ******ed, and spend the other half the fight shaking his head at opponents.

If he does get beat, he is in constant denial (although is not alone in that one), never giving an opponent props. After getting his ass whipped (albiet closely in the Golota fight, NOT close in Oquendo fight) in his last two fights, he has acknowledged his opponents were "tough."

I will say this in closing, although Byrd is absolutely UNBEARABLE to watch (WHOOOOO!!), he is more entertaining than the John "The Tumor of Boxing" Ruiz-Louise.

I have no interest in Chris Byrd.


His fights are boring.....the novelty of seeing a ONCE smaller fighter clown a bunch of lummoxes has worn off.

I'm tired of when he does lose, it's because "he's not really a heavyweight".
Got news for you, he's been a heavyweight for about a DECADE now. He IS indeed a heavyweight.

His fans talk about how awesome he'd have been at 168, or so.....bull****.
He'd just be veryy good down there. His boxing skills would not be nearly as effective against the far faster & more skilled smaller guys.


Also.....watching him make those "I'm just so damn good, I'm bored" faces in there, makes me want to see him get thrashed.

I hate that face too jab...

Ike... Byrd was demolished in five.
Wlad...beat the living **** out of Byrd and he bitched about something fishy on the gloves.
Vitali-beat the **** out of him then decided to call it a night because of a rotator cuff(byrd was the most surprised guy in the arena that night when he was announced the winner.)
Oquendo...There is no ****ing way Byrd won that fight, ask Byrd he will tell you.
Golota-Just gott done beating, making Byrd 0-2 in his last 2 fights.

I love the fact that Chris Byrd is a big fight fan thats cool, but thats where Byrd's coolness stops. He has been appreciated and now it is time for people to stop overappreciating him. McCline should be ablwew to whip him, which will make him 0-3 in his last three, just what is it about Chris Byrd that says "I wanna see that guy fight." He sucks and his record proves it!

Chris Byrd is a solid heavyweight whos a prime example of what is wrong with todays boxing. First of he shouldnt be a champion or hold a belt. You can argue wether or not he lost his last two outings but he certainly wouldn't be the favourite against Vitali Klitschko or almost any HW champ before him. He is a solid contender, a guy that does well what he does and is always in shape and relieable. He doesnt fight everyone anytime due to his management though. He didnt beat one HW that could be considered as an all time great in his prime. He lost 2 out of 4 (or 2 out of 3 if you dont want to count the fight against Vitali) when fighting a current top HW. He should be in his prime right now or even past it so there's not too much potential left. He makes his living fighting Top20 HWs and beating them in arguable fashion.

If I were Chris Byrd I'd vacate my HW title go down to Cruiserweight and rule the division until the end of my career. He wont be remebered as HW, he's simply not good enough. And that isnt me being harsh, that's my fair and most objective opinion.

Chris Byrd is like Scrappy Doo. Scrappy always wanted to fight the bad guys, but Scooby Doo (Don King) always holds him back so he doesn't get eaten by the monster. Vitali Klitschko is the monster.

I believe come Nov.14th...there will be a push to have the heavyweight division dismantled...& ultimately eliminated.

The four-fight piece of trash from the night before will hopefully convince people that bigger has become worse, in the sport of boxing.

The people have spoken.

[Duncan]

Whoooo!!

WHOOOO!....slap.....slap.....head shake and smirk....WHOOOOO!!!!....slap...head shake and smirk.....

That's a Byrd fight. The guy blows.

[PBDS]

Christisnot the answer said: I have never made any beef about Byrd's losses but the Wlad fans always find a way.


.....I seem to recall you jumping on the theory of Wlad having a foreign substance on his gloves way back when uh when uh when he kicked Byrd's ars.

[ghostbear]

If Ibeabuchi never went to jail would we even be talking about Chris Byrd or the Klitschkos? Vitali is cool though. I'd like to see Byrd and Vitali fight again to set up a fight between Vitali and Wladimir. I know their mom doesn't want them to fight or whatever but I sure do.

Anyways back on subject. I think Byrd is lucky he gets as much respect as he does. He gets more respect than Ruiz even though he doesn't beat his opponents as convincingly
