Vitali had a 7 inch height, 35 lb weight advantage.
I respect Byrd for fighting in the HW division and not ducking the biggest opponents, his style may not have been the prettiest to watch but he was no coward.
Oh most definitely. I have big respect for Chris. He's a good guy too.
I meant "Vitali looked like Valuev" in his style of fighting, btw, not necessarily his height advantage. Gotta be honest, I don't really dig the K bros. I am not entirely convinced that they are great.

I always liked Chris Byrd, and enjoyed watching him fight, myself. He was slick, quick, good defensively...he could bore some that are looking for non-stop action, but I'm not one of those, at least not all the time. I wish he'd stayed away from Wlad that second time. He ruined him. Then Povetkin stopped him, and when he went down to LH, he ruined himself more. Cruiser would've been far enough to get him fights with guys his own size. He looked horrible at LH...slow, clumsy, and like a damned corpse, he was so thin. His legs looked like sticks poking out of his shoes. He would've been pretty comfortable around 199, and been in much better condition. I was sad to see him get starched like he did.
What people don't notice about the Lewis fight is that Vitali is tired and is no longer fighting as good as he was in the early roundz while Lewis is just getting started. No offense...had the fight continued, I think Lewis would have stopped him.

You bet your ass Lewis would have stopped him. Lewis almost looked like he was faking being tired. Weird fight but I felt like Lewis was on top throughout.
