a decent version of Tua could not land a shot on byrd, shot Tyson was much worse than this version of Tua
[ The only thing with dog **** level is this comment. Saying that any version of Tyson would ko him when shot Tyson lost to guys who were far worse fighters than Byrd(who was not bad at all,he was good). Young Tyson could not ko james Tillis and i doubt that he was better than byrd(or even as good) and you are saying that a shot version of Tyson would ko him,ridiculous
Byrd would've easily defeated Tyson in 2004, hell in my opinion Byrd would've beaten Tyson anytime after 2000. He was washed up by this point of his career. ( Its why I'm amazed on how much credit Lewis received for beating Tyson in O2) he was a shell of himself . Depending on hopefully landing one big punch to ko his opponents. Doubtful if that punch would come on Byrd anytime during or after 2000. Tyson only would have a " Punchers Chance". This point of his career, so did David Tua ( Younger, Fresher) how much did that help him?
Byrd would have used him as a punch bag at this stage. On the plus side it would probably have got him a better pay day than the Williams fight.
8-4 is unanimous. That's a shut out. Point being that version of Mike was way worse than Tua and Byrd would have an easy night.
