    hell, even Nicolay Valuev.

    there are some inactive guys that would give lennox's punching a run for its money too.

    but that question is neither here nor there.

    i said vitali would have been stopped years ago.

    look at his proformance with an out of shape sanders.
    in that fight he looked like a soup-sandwich: sloppy.


    imagine him in the ring with a fighter thats inshape and has some movement + a medium amount of power.

    byrds movement made him so sloppy he either a) hurt his shoulder.
    or b)made him scared enouph to fake an injury rather than run 3 more rounds from a feather fisted blownup middleweight, who was sick with diarria the night before the fight, and was chasing him around the ring throwing and landing body shots while slipping vitali's best counters.

    also vitali has trouble fighting on the inside, which is why he look so bad with sanders and took so many uppercuts from lewis.

      maybe tyson or tua could hit harder but they didnt have the all round ability to touch lewis.hahaha byrd might of made lewis look bad like lewis and steward said but byrd still would of got whupped.

      i think ill go watch ike take byrds head off again then laugh as byrd trys t convince the ref its a slip.

      yeah, he beat byrd. ike was a monster .
      but even in that post fight interveiw he said byrd was the best he fought and he could see why no heavyweights wanted to fight him. he also said byrd's punchs do hurt cause you can't see them coming.

      that's coming from the only fighter imo that could = formen in heavyweight punching power.

        arturo gatti gave mickey ward props but it didnt mean ward wasnt a walking punchbag his entire career.
        its called boxing talk...theres only one reason they dont wanna fight byrd and thats becasue he runs all night and gets the don king pass that allows him dubious wins.
        nothing you say now or ever will change the fact that chris byrd is on borrowed time as a champion and its soon gonna be judgement day.

        and dont say hes done great for a middleweight who moved up...he should still be fighting at a lower weight if he aint good enough lol

        when i see chris byrd ko a genuine decent hw then ill believe he has more p4p punching power than cory spinks lol

            Stuff you have already heard from me but I have to say it again for the new era of Boxingscene.

            I think Byrd is a likeable guy. He fights well, his defense is good, and he has a reasonable chin. He is an Olympic silver medalist. I do think he needs a stronger punch. Also, I like watching interviews with Byrd. That sums it up.

              No one can understand your ebonics bull****.

              The beauty of a language is a relative thing. In the early 19th century, Russian language had the status of ebonics among the Russian nobility. Pushkin's poetry had dramatically changed that in the middle of the 19th century, supporting the birth of a great literature and cultural tradition. Incidentally, Pushkin's grandfather was an african from Etheopia, and Pushkin's nany was a simple peasant woman.

                Actually you may want to watch the Vaughn Bean fight and you hurt your shoulder by throwing punches that don't hit anything which Byrd makes you do. Just ask the shot version of Holyfield that fought Byrd.

                  Do you know what I mean when I type about "ebonics"?
                  Seems like you don't and you use it as a chance to ramble on about useless information.

                  "Ebonics" is a term that was given to the slang bull**** that most "urban" morons speak and obviously write and type in as well.

                    Yes, I know what you mean. You tried to offend the Great1 who I think is a reasonable guy. So I tried to help him out a little.

                    Moron is a common ***ish last name. The word moron is an ethnic slur word.

                    You are getting iritated, aren't you? I do hope you stay cool.

                    Take care.

                      Not really.
                      I just don't like having to go through a paragraph of useless information that didn't need to be posted just to reply to you.
