    Byrd is constantly underrated. Wlad’s best win IMO.
    He was not appreciated because he did not have punching power. Dude had skills.

        A really dangerous fighter and had fairly quick combinations for a man of that frame at his peak.

        If peak Tua were around today I doubt anyone would bet any sizable wager against him vs AJ or Wilder with any confidence.

          What about against Fury?

            I think with the extra height and awkwardness big Tyson could carefully jab his way to an unwatchable UD and he recovers well when dropped when he has been.

              He was dangerous as hell unless you knew how to move your feet.

                I'm a huge Byrd fan, but at the end of the day a overstuffed super middle weight whipped his shet.

                Yup, sounds like a real ass beating. I watched that when it aired, pretty forgettable fight, like most of Byrd's fights.
                Big Poppa edited your post, wonder what he edited?
