Should chris Byrd be in the hall of fame?

[joe strong]

he was (41-5-1),6 title fights(4-1-1),3 eliminators(3-0)....he had wins over phil Jackson,bert cooper,vitali klitschko,David tua,evsnder Holyfield,fres oquendo,davarryl williamson,jameel mccline...he had a draw with golota & losses to wlad twice,ibeabuchi & shawn George....nice career but is it worthy?

[Evil Abed]

He was a good fighter.

But not HOF worthy.

No

Lennox Ko'd Golota in 1 round.... he ended his career basically. Anyone who Struggled with Golota after that is not a hall of famer.

I don't know anything about Shaun George, but the Klitschkos and Ibeabuchi are monsters compared to him. Everyone he fought mostly was bigger and heavier, with a greater punch. He was only at most, a natural lt-heavy, even a super-middle.

He deserves to be elected.

I think he should be, He wasnt a natural Heavyweight and did remarkably well with what he had. Won the title twice and aside from Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko he was proberbly the best Heavyweight of his era aside from Lennox Lewis. Alot of people disrespect Byrd because of his style but I have nothing but respect for the guy, He made the most of what he had and achieved more than most of us would have expected him to with what he had.

Byrd is a hall of famer.....................

Byrd is a hall of famer.....................

You would put anybody in the HOF.

[Jim Jeffries]

I'm on the fence. But I definitely think his diminutive size should be a plus in that he was able to be competitive and beat much larger opponents.

I am shocked that he wasn't able to do anything when he moved back down to LHW. Too old and didn't lose the weight the right way I guess.

[Scott9945]

Great guy, but not even close to a hall of famer. I mean he was lucky to get the decision over Fres Oquendo. A fluke injury win over Vitali Klitschko does not make a hall of famer.

[Tiozzo]

I like Byrd a lot and I think he accomplished astonishing things while not being a natural HW. With that said, I don't think he should become a HOFer.

His best wins came against a past it Holyfield (good win, but not a great one) and against Tua. His win over Vitali K. is not really a glorious one. And he got an awful gift decision over Oquendo.
