Is Chris Byrd HOF worthy ?

I think it's a function of there being unified titles and clarity.

 

Good fighter, would of been a contender in any era(though almost certainly not a champ in most 1 belt eras) overachiever

Negatives: PED use (was this confirmed?)? A flukey type win over Vitali, past his best Evander, going life and death with an aged Golota. No statement type dominant wins, never the best of his era.

I'd vote no

 

no. you have to have high standards. He was a good fighter and had a lot of ability, but not hall of fame level. no way close

 

Lol, yall have low standards hahahaha. Absolutely no.

 

Young Stribling was not a great fighter?

 

yes but it is true
Byrd was one of the weakest alphabet champs but there were worse ones!

 

He is less great than most other great fighters. I don't see him as having a huge greatness edge over Chris Byrd.

 

well Chris Byrd sure is not great fighter at all

so that does not bode well for the Stribling

 

Stribling had 291 professional fights & scored 129 ko
& even to assess all this fights were bum mismatch I would not call this a ' low bar "" standard
& actually he defeat several ranking contenders among this
& boxers from middleweights to the heavyweights

so is not look like low standard to me

far less accomplish boxers are on the hall of fame

 

Byrd was & always was about the equal of John Ruiz in heavyweight division of the time . remember back 20 year

but Byrd is something popular on this site I did notice
