Chris Byrd still dodging Wladimir Klitschko

[Neuraxis]

Barrett? Well, he had 4 inches and 40 pounds on him so what's the trick?

Try 23 lbs.

Well you are whining about his injuries. Golota cries about it. I can't believe you obsession with a fighter like Golota who crumples every time he is truly tested. Golota is an emotional trainwreck. A true champ must have a great heart, courage, and mind. Like Holyfield and Ruiz.

I cant believe you just put John Ruiz on the same level as Evander Holyfield.

[The Pretender]

I cant believe you just put John Ruiz on the same level as Evander Holyfield.

They have lots of similarities. Similar win-loss-draw records. Same heart and courage. Both never duck anyone and will fight anyone anytime anywhere. And Holyfield knows how to clinch in a fight like how he beat Tyson every time. Holyfield and Ruiz were probably brothers in a past life.

Yeah just like Golota walked through the guy on the left...

If you remember Golota was defeating Grant on all three judges scorecards by decent margins he just quit after being knocked down and was not seriously hurt by the knockdown because he got back up right away. Golota's worst opponent is his psyche. If he stuck around in the Tyson fight he would have probably beat Tyson because Tyson was breathing heavy already and it was only a matter of time before his lack of stamina would have caught up to him. Golota has inner demons and they have prevented him from becoming a great champion.

Golota should join the special olympics if he's handicapped. You don't hear Ruiz whining about his injuries. He's a warrior that's why.

Please give me a ****ing break with your bull**** about Ruiz Juse888, This ****ing waste of space Ruiz, lost to two former middleweights and has no boxing skills whatsoever he has hugging skills that have helped him receive bull**** decisions because the ****ing judges fall asleep from boredom. Toney's sretoid use had nothing to do with the fact that he wiped the mat with your boy.

Toney knew he couldn't beat Ruiz so he cheated. Cheating never pays. Ruiz the true champ.

I don't know about fighting Ruiz first, but I agree he should fight Ruiz also. I'm surprised he agreed to fight Toney.

Byrds looking to cash in, and Toney is the biggest money fight. Both being from Detroit. They can have the fight there in their hometown. Byrd is a joke.

[GranTorino]

After refusing to fight Wladimir Klitschko, who's ranked #3 in the IBF behind Rahman and Barrett (who are fighting each other for the WBC intern title in July), I thought Byrd was going to redeem himself a little by fighting Toney. Due to Toney's suspension that's not going to happen.

This was a good opportunity for Byrd to man up and fight Wladimir, but he pussied out again and is scheduled to fight Serguei Lyakhovich (ranked 7 in the IBF) instead. Byrd continues to prove himself an unworthy "Paper Champion" and I hope Serguei Lyakhovich kicks his ass.

What do you think?

At this point, you should not be the least bit surprised to see Byrd ***** out of a fight with Wlad.

Like I've said before, until Golota has proven that he's over doing that, I'm not going to be sold on him. Wlad is worlds better than Grant, so I don't see why the same thing wouldn't happen.

I guess you missed memo, Byrd is fighting Lyakhovich not Toney.
