Chris Byrd

He just know's how to win bro.

byrd thinks too highly of himself. he demands too much ****ing money and no1 is willing to pay, he demands money he doesnt deserve the same way he owns a title he doesnt deserve either.

the only HW champion whos a bigger disgrace than byrd is john the bum ruiz, who is only slightly less inactive than byrd.

between ruiz's jab-and-grab style and byrds "ill stay home and wait for the money to arrive", its hard to decide whos worse.

anyone who says byrd is a champion, or hes good, or hes great, or anything positive about him is truely clueless in the world of boxing.

[DiegoFuego]

Byrd should be ranked #1 heavyweight in the world, but he isn't the best. I think Toney and Vitali are both better than him, maybe Rahman too.

I was on the band wagon, then off after Fres Oquendo fight. Now I don't know after the fight with Jameel Mclein. He has alot of skill and he is smart. There is no question about his heart. But is he a good champion? He is very inactive. His lack of power is disapointing. And to me, I think he would have been much better if he would have stayed at LHW.

He wins bad decisions too often

[jack_the_rippuh]

Byrd's ring smarts are almost Tyson-like.

[badblood]

I think all of you have forgoten what he went through just to get to that title. Or have you all just started watching the man fight?

Steven, you are the king, truly, but Chris used to win tough fights like Holyfield and Tua but he now is very inactive, greedy with fight contracts and wins horrible decisions, we may be in difference of opinion but he needs to step up with a awesome performance in outstanding fashion cause hes fighting mediocrely, He looks like hes a average fighter in all his fights

[badblood]

He didnt look average in the Mcline fight. He's also getting ripped off by DKP just like evry other fighter that has fought for Don King. Byrd is supposed to make a minimum of 2 million dollars per defence, which Byrd is fighting for less than that each fight. I think highly of the guy, getting as far as he did in this division as small as he is is not an easy task.

The heavyweight class today is a easy task, you see people like Chris Byrd winning actual HWs cause its corruptness, You see John Ruiz hugging his way to victory in a hugfest, You see people who are not HWs like Roy Jones beating the hell outta Ruiz when real HWs cant do it, You see Toney on steroids, You see Tyson in fights to be in consideration for a title, You see Brewster looking awful in victories except Golota. I think moving down in divisions is a tougher task for Byrd.

[7001]

I think Byrd should fight more often. Wich I beleive is Don King doings and not Byrds. Vitali doesn't want to fight him and neither does Ruiz. He made Vitali quit on the stool and Ruiz won't fight anyone who stands a chance of beating him. Byrd beat Mcline in a good showing. He had speed, good feet, accuracy and good heart (for getting back up after getting knocked down in the first by a brutal shot). Right now I think he is the best HW champ. I'm not saying he is the best thing since sliced bread, but in a weak division, he is king.
