    So far we've had David Tua picked to beat Marciano, Walcott and Charles, and claims of Vitali Klitschko as the H2H GOAT. But i noticed that all of them had the same thing in common, all lost to Chris Byrd.

    Are the modernists wrong? Nope that can't be, just look at how BIG they are. The only conclusion? Byrd was an alien from a far more advanced planet, that, somehow, at 6'-6'2" 210lbs beat all these SHWs.

    Could Byrd secretly be a reincarnation of Tom McMustache? Could this be the first fair matchup for the mythical beast known as "prime tyson"? Was he fighting Billy Pickles at the same time as Ike? Did Hagler get robbed? Inquiring minds would like to know.

    Well as crazy as it sounds it makes a lot more sense than another Tua beating a great thread.

    Edit: did Lewis fight Byrd

    Well this is awkward

    I think I was thinking of Wlad, who beat Byrd (yet still somehow went the distance?)

    Byrd beat Actual Tua, not Forum Tua. Forum Tua is the guy who blitzed Marciano and Walcott.

    It's a common beginner's mistake. Same name, different fighters.

    He also beat real Vitali, that lost to a past it, out of shape mess of Lennox Lewis. Not the unstoppable killing machine that is forum Vitali, who steamrollers ATG after ATG.

    Now it makes sense! I can see why the 5 ‘ 5 157 lb Marciano cannot beat a limited journeyman... I wonder....nah...never mind

    Isn't Dempsey that toothpick who put gunpowder and steel bars into his gloves to beat up stupid cavemen? He wouldn't get up from the first knockdown

    Forum Tua is far more formidable than YouTube Tyson, because no film of him survives.
