    "That might be difficult. If you are talking about Nicolai Valuev, then his opponent would have to be 13 feet tall. That would be a clear mismatch."

    I was speaking figuratively.

            Chris Byrd is doing the same thing Roy Jones was/is, he is fighting in a heavier division than he should so he can take advantage of his superior foot and handspeed. That being said, he is a very talented and skilled fighter that few seem to appreciate, even I wanted Holy to knock his head off lol

              I dont like Byrd because he is wearing Golota's belt.

                Bryd is the most underated fighter in the world.

                This picture has been taken completely out of context. Byrd never hurt Golota during their fight or ever in even came close to hurting him. Golota tripped over his feet on the ropes in the 2nd round and it had nothing to do with Byrd punching him. Byrd was bent over all night putting his gloves on canvas cringing from Golota's body shots. Byrd took serious punishment in that fight. His eye was messed up bad from a punch he took in the 12th round and he was pounded the body mercilessly, those body shots were killing him.

                When I guy bends over and puts his gloves on the canvas clearly cringing from a body shot I dont know how you dont call that knockdown. That was Golota's fight by Majority descision, but Melvina Latham gave Byrd round 12.

                  All the pictures and all the text is being taking out of context.

                  Its sarcasm McKay. Everyone knows Goloto won..

                    Except that it WAS in context when saying McCline was reluctant and hesitant IE afraid of getting hit by Byrd.

                    Once again, watch the fight.

                    McCline was constantly cowering and pulling back like Byrd was Mike Tyson.

                    Your sarcasm is completely unjustified in regard to that fight.

                    McCline fought like he was the one at a 50lb disadvantage.
