Chris Byrd is unappreciated, bigtime!

That fight against McCline is going to be a tough one. I know alot of people think McCline is garbage, but he's tall, and he fights with a boxer-puncher style, uses the jab alot, very similar to the klits. The height alone will be a big hurdle to overcome, it seems the only fighters Byrd has trouble with are the ones with a reach advantage over him. But if he wins, he'll have all of my respect, I respect him anyway for fighting such bigger guys than he is, but it will really be something if he can pull it off.

i don't think McCline is garbage, if he ever gets confidence in his own abilities he'll be a dangerous man, also if he's smart enough to make it an outside fight, and be more effective with the jab he can force Byrd to try and be Joe Frazier, like he had to when he was beat by B level competitor Fast Fres or The big O ( whichever you like better ). McCline could do it, but he won't i really don't think he believes in himself enough to take it to Byrd like he needs to

Chris Bryd is about as appritiated as he should be. Face the facts he does not inspire, the audience, he has never captured my imagination the way a great heavywieght champion should. His last couple fights do not help this perception. He certainly should not be a major PPV fighter, this further marginalizes his popularity as a belt holder. In my view he should be appritiated a little more than John Ruiz, which to be honest isnt saying much.
