      Interesting...very interesting.

        That explains a lot.
        May I suggest you sponge and observe anything you can, other than making a fool out of yourself every time you speak.

        Ask and learn... maybe then people will start giving you good Karma.

          For the record, Byrd was never a middleweight. He came out of the olympics and started his career as a heavyweight.

          But, I do think that Toney wins this fight. Byrd won't look as fast against Toney, as he looks against the other heavyweights. I can see them exchanging in the early rounds with Toney doing damage to the body. I just think Toney hits harder than Byrd. And if he comes into the ring at around 215, I can see Toney winning by KO.

            Not correct.

                I can't decide who would win this fight. I would be rooting for Toney though.

                  Toney would eat him alive. No, really I think he would eat him. That Toney always looks like a hungry mother****er.

                    Byrd was LH by weight his first two fights and by his 3rd was a heavy and never looked back, so all those middleweight claims don't hold water. Byrd's weight actually closely tracks Ali's until their mid 30s when Ali starts to get more out of shape.

                    At any rate, Byrd is the favorite against Toney because he's battletested in the division against the best. Toney ain't, though he'd KO Chris in a hotdog eating contest!
