Chris Byrd refers to himself as the test, and says nobody wants to study for the test. "It's too difficult." Not many fighters have ever spoken truer words! As a fighter Byrd is basically vulnerable to two things. One is due to his style, being that he is a boxer. The other is due to his size and relatively short reach for a heavyweight. First and foremost, Byrd is a boxer. Boxers are vulnerable to the swarming/pressure style fighters like Marciano and Frazier.
Swarming/pressure style fighters usually cause the boxer problems because they don't allow the boxers to use the ring and box. They try and force them to fight. Former heavyweight champion "Smokin" Joe Frazier molded the pattern on how to fight a mover and boxer. All one has to do is watch any one of his three fights against Muhammad Ali to see just how Frazier gave Ali fits. What Frazier did was take away the space and distance that Ali wanted to box, and forced him to fight. Frazier also started most of his offensive assaults by going to the body first, and then working his way up to Ali's head. His whole fight plan was predicated on not allowing Ali to box and forcing him to fight. If Ali didn't have a cast-iron chin, along with unbelievable stamina and endurance, he would have gone 0-3 vs Frazier. [details]
