Chris Byrd v Tyson Fury, prime v prime who wins?

Lol , thats the rematch when Byrd was shot to bits.. Did you actually watch that fight? Byrd legs were completely gone and he was just standing there blocking shots with his face.

Fury done to Wlad everything and more than what Wlad done to Byrd.

 

I would favour Fury inside the distance. I think Byrd would have trouble getting to Fury and Fury would win inside time, similar to Furys wins over Chisora 2nd fight and Hammer

 

As a Chris Byrd fan (one of only a few)
I just see no conceivable way that Chris
could beat Fury. Chris' main advantage is
handspeed and movement (mainly upper body)
where he made big slow lumbering HWs look
like Frankenstein. Fury (for all his size) is really
a mobile HW that throws in combination. Byrd
would have a hard time landing on Fury (other than
to the body and he's not a good body puncher). Fury
would push Byrd around, and throw and throw, not landing
all that much but definitely landing enough to win a lopsided
decision.

 

Tyson Fury for sure, quite easily.

 

Who would win? Insomniacs everywhere that's who.

But seriously can't see anyway Byrd wins. Byrd did well against smaller come forward heavies but when presented with tall, rangy super heavies who could box, he struggled badly. Fury on his worst day beats any version of Byrd, simply because of the style mismatch.

 

Is being announced as comeback opponent? Only 48, still a young man you know.

 

Cunningham was having no problem schooling fury. fury simply ground him down by laying his full weight on him at every chance. the top four Cw's right now leave fury laying in a heap, shattered glass everywhere.

 

Fury wins a wide UD.

 

Fury is a joke, he’s most overrated heavy of this generation and so is his win against 39yo shot wlad, but I still think big lumbering oaf Fury beats byrd , just because of size .

 

This. The match would depend on Fury. If he's in shape around 245-250 I'd pick him to beat Byrd, but If he shows up fat like he did against Cunningham and Chisora Byrd would clown him for 12 straight rounds.

 

before the fight Byrd said he was going to walk Wlad down and ko him. afterwards he said it turned out to be a stupid strategy.

 

In his prime Chris Byrd was a skilled but tiny man with no power and an average chin at best. He had absolutely no business at HW. He only went there chasing pay days and got lucky Evander was shot to sheet and Vitali inexplicably decided he'd rather quit than run and hold for 3 rounds.

Tyson is literally a giant with incredible movement and insane reach. The fat and immature Tyson that beat Cunningham still beats Byrd as he's got every single advantage. Byrd literally has no tools at all he can use to win. His shed is empty. His box is barren.

 

If Ortiz can't beat Wilder, then Byrd can't beat Fury.

 

Vlad beat Byrd two times. Fury would have beaten Byrd..................
