    I would give Byrd a fair chance in this match-up.

    I hate too say it but I would give Byrd a fair chance in this fight as well.

    Maybe Byrd would of been solved fighting smaller guys but maybe not. He was so elusive and had a good chin I could see him giving Rock lots of trouble.

    Put it this way, most on here will probably say Rock by KO, all I am saying is I think Byrd maybe able to survive and make it close :bbb

    That's reasonable and probably realistic as well.

    Rocky is on another level.

    Byrd will be befuddled by the constant onslaught of boulder like punching.

    Rocky UD. Rocky was simply too active to lose this one.

    Sure, but it would be the same fair chance that a few of his victims had, on paper.

    :lol:

    Marciano's own trainer said that Rocky never stepped in the ring with someone who didn't look better than him.

    But that when he landed, magic happened.

    My own parents told me that a magical fairy came at night, found the tooth under my pillow and replaced it with a gold coin.

    That tooth fairy didn't exist.

    Rocky's knockouts do.

    Mind blown. Right?
