Pretty amazing that Byrd started as a Super Middleweight and went on to beat Holyfield, Tua and Klitschko. Which one of those was his best win?
What was Chris Byrd's best win - Evander Holyfield, David Tua or Vitali Klitschko?

Tua .
He fought him when he was prime, the other two Evander was on the wane and Vitali was prime but his prime wasnt really all that. -
Vitali.
Tua was a good win, but he was never even a titleholder in an era of multiple titles.
Holyfield was a good win, but Evander was somewhat faded by that time.Comment

If you want to credit Byrd for doing anything more than being elusive enough to not be stopped by Vittles, I just don't know what else to say.Comment

Everyone thought Tua was going to walk right through him. Me included. But Byrd made him look bad and almost toyed with him.
Hell, he made Vitali look bad too and had him befuddled at times.
Tough to say which of those was a better performance.
(I agree with the other poster that Holyfield was past it so it wasn't as impressive to beat him.)Comment

well its simple, vitali win was controversial, but the tua win was a shutout against a prime and dangerous KO artist.
Now there was a rematch that was sorely needed, Vitali Byrd II. Dont know why Vitali relied on his brother to avenge him, he ought to have sought out Byrd himself, dont know if he did but he's certainly had plenty of years to chase it if he really wanted it.Last edited by DreamFighter; 01-16-2013, 01:53 PM.Comment
