Better Resume: Chris Byrd or Vitali Klitschko???

[SN!PER]

Prime Chris Byrd is like Allen Iverson in the ring, moving, slipping, and feinting as the shoulders, arms, and legs of his opponents pop and snap like Rice Krispies.

The man can put you in the hospital without even touching you.

[LacedUp]

He didn't? Well how many top 10 contenders did he face compared to Byrd?

Not that that was the point of my answer, but I would guess they were relatively equal.

Byrd faced Vitali, Holyfield, Wlad (2), Tua, Ibeabuchi, Povetkin, Golota, Oquendo, Butler, Castillo, Bert Cooper, Purrity, McCline etc.

I would say that bunch is way way better than what Vitali faced in his career.

My point was that numbers don't make up a resume.

PRE-PRIME Vitali Klitschko.

He was in his 30's and had only 3 more fights before he "retired"...and those are some of his best wins.

You're bad at this trolling thing.

[El-blanco]

He quit against Byrd. Like him, love him, you can't erase these facts.

Stop repeating that he quit as if Byrd was kicking his ass. Vitali was way up on the scorecards and had to stop the fight because of a torn rotator cuff. If he was getting dominated and "quit," You'd have a point but as usual you don't.

Did he enter the fight with a torn rotator cuff? No. he was missing nearly every round hence the injury. It was byrd's fault that Vitali got injured. It wasn't a beating at all either, Vitali was winning because of output, but Byrd fought well too.

And then Vitali didn't continue.

Those are the facts.

No argument there, byrd is an excellent fighter but he was on his way to losing the fight. And can you really take pride in winning a boxing fight because a guy blew his arm out attacking you? It's pretty weak man.

I don't know. I would imagine he was pretty happy with his victory.

Plenty of fighters have been behind on a scorecard and won via injury to the other guy. Why is it different with Vitali?

He has had some dubious fights in his time too where the opponent failed through injury or where the fight has been wrongfully stopped. Should we discount those wins too?

Plenty of fighters have fought with a torn rotator cuff too. Or worse, like a broken jaw.

The Tua win was his best as far as I'm concerned but it's certainly not better than beating Lennox pillar to post

What an idiotic thing to say...LL beat Vitalie's face open!!!! remember now? Sorry denial is a river in Egypt not an argument strategy let me say it again slowly

Leeeeeeenoooooox Leeeewiiiiis beeeeaaaaaat Viiiiiitallllllll ieeeees fffface open.

I'm not a shameless vitali defender so I won't sit here and be ****** over the issue. He lost, and no, wins of that nature shouldn't be discounted, I just have an issue when people make that Byrd victory appear like he beat him around the ring and made him quit.

Hey people, a guy with a huge red bar of karma just called me a village idiot.

You need to look closely in the mirror and re-assess you life apparently.

what red bar?
