    You aren't applying that correctly.

    Regardless, I stand by my assumption that it is not random both Evander and Vitali suffered torn rotator cuffs in fights where Chris Byrd was making them miss loaded punches.

    You aren't understanding it correctly. Guess the amount of time it took you to look it up and get back to me kinda hints at that, though.

    I was watching Vitali vs Byrd.

    You can't address the fights themselves because you never watched them. I'm not sure why you are here, but you are not a fight fan.

    Did Vitali and Holyfield not miss repeated snapping left hands against Byrd? You have to answer "Yes" therefore it is not unreasonable to assume, Byrd's style played a role in their fight hindering injuries.

    A true example of "Post hoc ergo propter hoc"

    Vitali and Holyfield injured their shoulders against Chris Byrd.
    Everyone who fights Chris Byrd will injure their shoulder.

    You're not to swift, so I'll try to spell it out for you Cobs. You think because Y (rotator cuff injury) follows X(fighting Byrd) that X caused Y. It didn't. They happen. Happening twice against one fighter would not be considered proof in a court of law or among 95% of posters here. How about you make a thread asking how many people believe your little theory? I'm fairly confident, there will be nothing " healthy" about the minority you will be in.

    Aww, that's cute! You tried, but that's not actually how it works. See my last response for an accurate rendition.

    You love to say I'm not a fight fan and never watched the fights. Neither is accurate. I won't make the silly claim that you didn't watch the fight because it's childish and pointless. I will maintain that anyone who could possibly think Byrd had an equal or greater career to Vit cannot possibly be a fight fan, or at least cannot rationally evaluate fights in a manner conducive to being a decent fan

    The fights are filmed.

    We see Evander thinking he has Byrd timed only to fire and miss wide left hooks over and over. It is determined after the fight he tore his shoulder.

    We see Vitali throwing weird left hands at unusual angles, failing to catch Byrd. It is determined after the fight he tore his shoulder. Byrd pressures Vitali, who is unable to throw back and forced to retire on his stool.

    Anything but credit Byrd, right?

    I always liked Byrd. To do what he did with his physical dimensions was incredible and one helluva chin to boot.

    Sanders... I've always loved underdogs and under achievers. One of a few boxers that I always wonder what could have been I'f they were truly into the sport and focused.

    I was never impressed with Peter to be honest.

    Uh, no, just made up bull****. Vit dominated the first couple rounds, then tore his cuff. He still was nicking most rounds before he had to quit. No reasonable person has any doubt Vit wins a rematch. But then we know your not reasonable

    No because that actually rationally follows. Try to keep up Cobs!

    You know who was also a ghost, just like Byrd? A guy so crafty and fast, two of his opponents had devastating rotator cuff injuries? Not only that, but for one other terrible arm injuries. Not only THAT, but unlike Byrd, he basically ended both of their careers.

    Yeah, that Dereck Chisora just could not be caught. Too slick, too smooth.
