    Chris Byrd is the #2 HW, and rightfully so.

    I think a strong argument is made that he should be the #1 HW,

    considering his TKO victory over the man everyone is saying the

    best is.

    Do you prefer to use paperwork to rank fighters, or their actual performances? I prefer the latter, myself, but to each his own. Byrd was losing miserably in that fight, even after Klitchko ripped a rotator cuff in round 4, so I'd hardly call that a career-defining "win". Yes, he got the TKO, but would you be willing to put cold-hard-cash on the line in the hopes that would happen a second time? The answer to that question is probably a good indicator of how you really feel about how he did in that fight.

        Im willing to put cash on Byrd against Golota. Yes.

        Golota will have to "decisevly" take his belt from him.

        Many people think Golota was robbed, but the same always happens in boxing. Like the announcers claiming that Zab needed a knockout in ST. Louis to become the Undisputed Welterweight Champ. You have to really beat someone bad, or else it does not show that you earned the title.

          Against Golotta? I thought we were talking Klitchko, sir

          Agreed that a title bout should be a decisive win, I'm just telling you how our cards looked when they were turned face up after the fight. And trust me when I say, I take scoring rounds very seriously and never slide a little for a fighter I like. And even if that weren't true, I like Byrd. He's a nice guy, a real class act, and has managed something not many guys his size could, so if I were going to slide my scoring to one side, it'd have been his way, not Golottas..but like I said, I don't do that, and I felt like Golotta squeezed out a slim victory.

            I would bet on a Byrd/Wlad fight. Not Byrd/Vitali.

              Actually Golota did NOT lose his last 2 fights dummy... He lost to Ruiz and had a DRAW with Byrd! So obviously you don't understand a lot more than just rankings.

                Did you see the first Byrd/Wlad fight? Cause any sane person would put there money on Wlad in a rematch!

                  Byrd won't beat Vlad, Too much is made of Vlad's chin, where as I see it it's mainly a stamina problem. If he can pace himself in a fight then he will have no problems with Byrd again.

                  I doubt very much whether Byrd can KO or hurt Vlad

                    You are ****ing delusional. If Byrd can beat Golota 10 out 10 times then why the **** did that ***** Byrd refuse to give Golota a rematch? He knew he escaped that night with a gift from the judges and the ref who should have called two, yes that's right, two knockdowns when Byrd's gloves touched the canvas when he was hunched over.

Do you agree with TNT's ascessment on this matter?
                      Later brother brologs. P.s Please don't tell me that Golotta lost his last 2 fights-You know excactly what I mean.
                      In terms of ability and promise, I would have to rank Wlad @ #2 (let the flaming begin!), but I would put Andrzej at #3 right behind him.
