    Gunstarr1 was talking about THIS POINT of time, smartass.

    Fact is, Byrd isnt the guy he used to be. He lost his speed and age is catching up to him. If Wlad doesn't beat Byd impressively, he'll be a laughing stock of the boxing public, bottom line. He's beaten him befo impressivly. Byrd has ****** eva since.

            Nope... he already beat Byrd (1). (2) Byrd has been inactive as of late. (3) It's in Germany, he's guranteed a win.

              Who are you calling a hater? Wlad was mandatory, it was up to him.

                well you gotta realize, Wlad only dominates those that brings no power in the ring. Wlad is a good boxer, but a chin made of glass. He can easily outbox a smaller Chris Byrd wit his skills.

                  He'll still be the first fighter to beat Byrd in six years, so yes of course credit is due. I agree that Byrd is passed his prime but he's still one of the best heavyweights out there. Just because Byrd is an easy fight for him style wise doesn't mean he doesn't deserve credit. I mean that's like refusing to give Foreman any credit for beating Joe Frazier.

                    McCline TKO 10
                    Ray Mercer TKO 6
                    Botha TKO 8

                    Those are the lightest hitters youll find around.

                      why would anyone refuse to give Foreman credit? He came from TKO loss to Ali and KOed Frazier in 5 who by the way won against Ali 2-3 fights back.
