    So Byrd is his best win who drew with Golata two years prior, yet everybody is better than Golata.

    Amazing that these "not very good" fighters like Byrd and Ibragimov were able to beat Holyfield by shut outs.

    Even if he just looked in boxrec, it's easy enough to double check to see if it's the same man. Just click on the name and scroll through the list of opponents.

    I mean I don't expect much from him given the level of his posts in this and other threads, but that's just sheer laziness.

    my opinion is he has never beat elite fighters cos there aint any around.unless someone really steps up in the next couple of years we will never know how good or bad he really is.

    I think Haye would beat Byrd but it's hard to rate Haye highly at heavyweight considering he didn't really beat anyone. Haye may well be better than Byrd but he isn't greater.

    Ken Norton was a great heavyweight. I'd also say Larry Holmes was, even though he was past his best.

    Not really. Holyfield was shot when he lost to them. Is it also amazing that Lebedev beat Roy Jones, despite the fact that a prime for prime match up would be an embarrassing schooling?

    When Byrd dominated him he was more or less the same version that Lewis beat and let's not forget after these two one sided beatings he took that he would go on to beat Valuev who you constantly big up as a serious threat.

    valuev is **** tbh.the heavyweight division no matter how weak at the moment is better off without him.
