    You've got something here, but your missing a lot. For one thing, there's no way Toney or Jones see themselves losing to Byrd. Also, as far as I'm concerned, Byrd isn't doing himself any favors by steering all questions thrown his way to the fact that he (fortuatously) beat VK a while back, and given that that and his alphabet title makes him "the" Heavywieght champ. How can he honestly make this claim given the (far from dominant) fights he's had in the last couple of years: Holyfield, Oquendo, Galota, and now McCline. Gimmie a break...
    I've always thought his D was real good and he has fast hands for a heavy... but just like everyone else says, he seems to have no power.

    He has fought some pretty damn good opposition, but when was the last time he looked good in a fight? Maybe "really" gotten beat by golota, vitali and Oquendo... lost to Wlad and Ike...?

    He needs a good outing. I didn't see the Evander fight.. how did he look?

      Toney dominated Evander way more than Byrd did

      i don't see how Toney is afraid of Byrd, he'll beat Byrd unless Don King can stop it from happenning.

      there's no question the Byrd is talented, i think in terms of talent / skill alone he belongs at the top of today's heavyweights. Byrd is beautiful to watch the way he slips away from punches and counters the big guys shots, even though he's a FEATHERFISTED CUTIE and has to win his fights on points or bad judging in the case of his LOSS to FRes Oquendo ( CITA, i like Byrd, he's a master technician, but he lost that fight ) . Byrd never beat Oquendo, the judges beat Oquendo.

        I agree he lost the fight to Oquendo, but he did beat Golota.

          Do you hate Roy Jones Jr. because he has accomplished more than both Klitschko's?

            So I guess that means that you think that Ruiz was the best heavyweight champion at the time. Shame on you.
