The Chris Byrd that fought Mike Sullivan at 171 lbs on 5/15/93 was not as good of a fighter as the Matt Godfrey that fought Shawn Hawk the other night?
The same Chris Byrd who entered the pro ranks after winning a silver medal in Barcelona.
WELL, put it this way, if that Chris Byrd was around now and he was offered a fight with Matt Godfrey today, right now, his management would say NO. Guaranteed. That's factual. Add ten more fights and 15 pounds and sure they would take it...but him comparing to Matt as a professional fighter on the date you mentioned...no...way...
Little off your original subject, but I saw you guys debating Byrd. So on the subject of Byrd, is there anything you see Eddie Chambers being better at that Byrd? If so will it be enough to even make a fight between him and Wlad in anyway suspenseful?
Damn... I was hoping you wouldn't say that, haha. Alright thanks, Ice!
Sorry, StarJ lol...You can at least take comfort in the fact that over the last five years I have usually been wrong with my pre-fight picks...I did pick Pavlick over Jermain in their first fight...I had a couple other good ones, too...but the overall pct. is not too high LOL
Congrats on the fight. The W is the most important thing.
One thing about Shaun George, I read that he injured his right shoulder and his right hand in the first round, it could explain why he stopped punching.
