What's up with everyone having Byrd at #1?

[Tha Greatest]

I noticed Ring Magazine, ESPN, etc all have Byrd as the #1 heavyweight in the world...

Why is this?

He may have had a good resume, but aren't rankings made by what has been done as of late?

In his last few fights...

-Wlad Klitscho...lost and got knocked down twice
-Oquendo...lost but got a gift
-Golota...draw but got a gift
-McCline...won a very close fight
-Williamson...one of the most boring fights of all time, none of the fighters engaged in action or even did ANYTHING....

but look at Brewster in his recent fights

Wlad Klitschko - knocked him out cold...Wlad BEAT Byrd...

Meehan - Close fight, but Brewster has stated that the reason he didn't do good was because Meehan was a good friend of his and he just couldn't hurt him, we all know he would have destroyed Meehan...

Golota - Brewster came out of his corner and just pulverized him...another fighter that brewster destroyed that REALLY beat Byrd..

Krasniqi - Anyone that has seen this guy knows that he is a very good fighter, but Brewster gave him one of the most vicious knockouts since Lewis knocked out Rahman


IMO....Brewster > Byrd in recent accomplishments....

[TheGreat1]

well i guess you can't really argue with that. I think it's only because Bryd Has had his title longer.

Wlad Klitschko - knocked him out cold...Wlad BEAT Byrd...

Brewster won by TKO you know that right? Wlad has never been knocked out cold

He has defended his belt the longest and the most out of the current heavy's.
