    Byrd fans should be outraged...i know i am

    don king has said on showtime that he plans to put Byrd on james toney's undercard...in reno of all places...and toney is not fighting for a title (he's scheduled to fight guinn) how can king possibly justify putting the ibf heavyweight champ of the world on an undercard to a barely-was-a-champ fighter? and don't even get me started on the Byrd can't raise tickets sales bs...the arenas at his fights haven't exactly been empty in the past

    You are a Byrd lover. You shouldn't even take yourself seriously when it comes to this topic. Even you should know and admit that fans want to see Toney more than they want to see Byrd. It's simple really.

        I'm glad Chris is fighting again in some capacity. He's not getting any younger. The big problem here is Don King. Hopefully this card will set up a Byrd vs. Toney showdown early next year.

            Toney and Guinn have been headlining this particular show for a while now. The tickets that have been sold already are for that fight. Byrd Williamson is just another fight on that card that is there so that it can be televised.

              i agree that it's good that byrd's at least fighting but it's not toney byrd needs...unless toney has a title by the time they would fight...byrd needs a rematch with vitali...and we need to see this fight so a clear champ can be recognized either way...vitali's ducking and so is king

                  Wait wait wait...Vitali is ducking who?

                  For the love of God, please don't say Chris Byrd.

                  Just...don't.

                    byrd definitely should be undercard to toney and marquez. hes fighting ****ing williamson toney is fighting guinn who would kill williamson. the belts dont mean **** the fighters make the belts. toney beat ruiz (**** the steroid **** that id nothing but hurt him it doesnt help you at all) toney is the real champ byrd doesnt draw worth ****, toney is the bigger name and better fighter. im glad hes main event to byrd.
