How many of Byrd's opponents end up with torn rotator cuffs?

I'm not a Chris Byrd "fan", but you have to give him credit for accomplishing what he has at Heavyweight.

and what has he accomplished at HW? aside from a few gift decisions and victories over bums, wining one title, fighting only a few times as "champion", and curing insomnia for boxing fans around the world?

He is undersized and lacking power but still competes. I'm not here to make an argument over it. Every victory at HW these days are against "bums"

people forget that he medaled at the olympics as a MIDDLEWEIGHT and started his career weighing in at 170lbs.

people give toney and jones so much credit for moving up and winning the title. byrd had the balls to set his sights on the heavy title from the very start and made the commitment to doing what needed to be done to make it happen, that you cannot deny him. he very easily could have been light heavy champ, or cruiser champ and bull****ted around for 6 years against guys that couldnt touch him.

that being said, hes been done for 3 years now.

Doctors recommend tapes of Byrd's fights as a natural supplement for sleeping pills. Toney's last fight was unbelievable in terms of skills displayed. They both might be former middleweights but there is no comparison between them today. In short, Byrd sucks.

Boxing2005, do doctors really recommend this? My father is a doctor, so I will ask him.

Well, Chris' campaign under 200 lasted less than 6 months. So I think it was less "the balls to make it happen" and more that he was probably sick of trying to totally kill himself to make weight after the Olympics... that's what it looks like to me, anyway. He looks very natural at 215ish and always has.

No, not really. But I almost fell asleep during last fight, that was one of the most boring fights I've ever seen.

Just give it a rest already.
