    Tucker. Golota gave Byrd enough issues.

    Don't see Byrd having much to offer for Tucker

    I would favor Tucker in his size and strength advantage.

    Tucker. He sort of underachieved relative to his gifts. He would win the decision.

    Byrd could make it ugly, but ugly isn't necessarily effective.

    Tucker UD.

    Very tough call. Neither is a huge puncher, but both are great boxers and very underrated. I'm leaning more towards Tucker due to his reach and jab.

    I'd go with Tucker around the Tyson fight. It would probably be a snoozefest though

    I don't know Tucker lost to Herbie Hide and Bruce Seldon, who I rate lower than Byrd. I think it's 50/50 close either way.

    Tucker was beyond shot when he lost to those guys.
