Byrd... about to knock out Vitali?

[ejk22]

I always wondered why Byrd refuse's to give Wladimir Klitschko a rematch? You would think that being the IBF champion and thinking you can beat everyone he would try and erase one of his two defeats and prove to the world that he is the very best.

lets all accept and acknowledge that byrd is the best boxer in the division....yed i mean boxer......it seems that everyone seems to forget that in every other division, a pound or two either way cancels fights, as fighter dont accept................and here we are now where a tiny byrd has to box against guys 40 - 60 pounds above him...and he still outboxes them....

byrd deserves a hell of a lot more credit than what is given....

Maybe because Byrd realizes that he can't beat Wlad.

I understand what you are saying, but for his legacy he should try and erase that defeat and prove whether or not he is the best of the current crop of heavyweights.
