CHRIS BYRD is going to fight at CRUISERWEIGHT

Let's see Chris Bryd Vs Herbie Hide!

 

Provided he can make 200lbs without any problems..............there is no reason why he cannot dominate the division.

Chris Byrd vs David Haye

 

If he does, it will be good for him. He just doesn't have the power to compete with the best heavyweights.

 

for some reason i think that will be rather enjoyable.

the first time 2 2X heavywieght champions fight at cruiserwieght

 

he can definatly make the limit he was the few fighters putting on wieght to get to his fight form.

 

exactly it's a joke when you put on wieght be a heavywieght. he had NO reason to fight there at allatsch he was a bloody middlewieght if not a supermiddle at most

 

Chris is an idiot.He should have been doing this 15 years ago. But he took his big balls to heavy (props to him) won a spurious title or too, bored us to death and now in his twilight years of weighing a whopping 210lbs decides to make 200 and fight at cruiser? Puhlease. Retire already Chris.It was good while it lasted.

 

My lord he walks around at 204!?!?!?! Shiiiiiit i went from 169 to 230 and couldnt make 200 even if i tried! Wow Chris is something else!

 

I know, he should retire. His reflexes are gone, he isn't as quick + elusive as he once was and all of that was so effective in the first place because he was in with plodding heavyweights - it would be negated further at cruiser. That, and his punching (barring body punches) were so soft at heavy that he won't be a destructive puncher at cruiser.

It's a bit sad actually, I really like Byrd.

 

Chris Byrd was not an idiot, his style is taylor made for slow, lumbering, big heavyweights. He wont be as good as a cruiserweight you will see. He was the IBF champ for some time and made a lot of money especially fighting against Klitschkos in Germany and defending his title a few times, he would never have made that money as a cruiserweight even if he was a long time champ there.

About his weight. I dont think he was putting pounds just to make heavyweight. At the time when the cruiserweight limit was 190 I say he couldnt have made 190 without any problems when he was fighting between 215-220.
