    And by the way, Chris Byrds resume is ahead. His top wins are:

    1. Vitali Klitschko.
    2. David Tua.
    3. Evander Holyfield.

    Vitalis top wins are:

    1. Corrie Sanders
    2. Samuel Peter
    3. ???

    Also consider that Byrd was moving up from lower weightclasses and hang with the big guys thanks to remarkable boxing skills. The only case you can make for Vitali is head to head to bill. I doubt even the trolls in this thread would bet their money on Byrd in a rematch against Vitali.

    And you keep avoiding :lol: Oh man, you're like a child! You can't even realize how much you're embarrassing yourself. Are you autistic, by any chance?

    This reason alone is why Vitali has a better resume than Byrd. Vitali was beating Byrd easily but withdrew because he injured his arm early in the fight. That's the ONLY reason Byrd won. If Vitali fought Byrd a hundred times, he'd win like 98 or 99 times because fight ending self inflicted injuries are rare in boxing.

    Only one of them mattered. How many times as Vitali lost on cuts? How many times did Lewis win on cuts? You're much more likely to knock a guy out with one punch than throw a cut ending punch.

    Vitali did go six rounds with Lewis and was raring to go for more. It was Lewis who could barely raise his hand after "winning" the fight.

    Wlad was not mandatory to Byrd. You just made that up like everything else you just said.

    Universum had options on Byrd. He had to fight whoever they put in front of him. That meant Vitali or Wlad. Wlad hadn't even a ranking with the WBO.
    Byrd said he wanted Vitali but was forced to Germany and where he was forced to fight Wlad.
    Those options meant Vitali could have had him whenever he wanted.
    Byrd was even calling him out when he came back in 2008 and he still didn't want it.
    Shut up you fool. Ibeabuchi ran Byrd from pillar to post before knocking him senseless in only 5 rounds.
    The fight wasn't competitive.

    Whats lucky about cutting off a guys movement , trapping him to the ropes and unleashing brutal combos to both sides of the head.

    gtfo with 'lucky punch' you idiot:patsch:nut

    Mostly everybody would want to prove the first fight was a fluke.

    Vitali never wanting it proves the injury was bogus and he quit because Byrd was starting to clown him and there was 4 rounds left to go.

    And Vitali was the one who's punches were ineffective in the 6th round and ended it slumpd over and desperately clinching in an attempt to avoid any further punishment. He was just as worn out as Lewis and fading fast when the fight was stopped.

    - Fact is James beat Evander much more impressively than Byrd. You can't attribute that only to the fact that 10 months passed between between both fights. As for the should injury, you are right about that, cause it further tarnishes byrd's victory. Against James, evander's shoulder was fine.

    - The win over Tua is OK but not exactly a great one. We all know Tua could be outboxed and he never won a title. In fact, Ruiz has a better resume than Tua.

    - Byrd's victroyagainst Quitaly is legimate and his best one. But even you got to agree that Quital's injury has something to do with it, so that diminshes that victroy a bit.

    We should not forget that Byrd was arguably beaten by the likes of Oquendo and old Golota.

    Not sure why you keep trying to sell this lie to me of all people, I've schooled on you the Byrd situation numerous times. I come back with the same sources, correct your timelines, you throw a hissy fit, disappear, than a few months later come back as if nothing happened.

    I can only laugh now when someone tries to spin the myth that it was either Tyson or Byrd. It was not. The real choice was either fight Byrd or sit in the audience and watch Byrd fight Holyfield like an idiot.

    John Ruiz was ultimately better than Grant and Botha, whom Lewis trashed his title to face.

    Humorously Ruiz matched Lewis' than career best win within a year, even decking Holyfield and putting him in more peril than Lewis ever did.

    Nope, Caligula was many things but he was not a deformed half-woman like King Tut.

    Whilst I think the Klits get a hard time on here from some, credit to the OP because it was something I'd never really thought about to be honest. Interesting to hear how Wlad is thought of more highly than Vitali in Eastern Europe too, though most would agree on that
