Chris Byrd's resume is underrated

You told us Lewis had problems with southpaws,I asked you to name all the southpaws he fought to justify your statement , you never replied.

 

The boxing public never had any interest in Lewis vs Byrd. Lewis vs Tyson 2 would make more money than Byrd vs Lewis 1.

 

Holyfield injured his shoulder and couldn’t jab against Byrd. He was useless on that night.

 

So you can label people nut huggers but you can't answer my question? I'll repeat it . Since Byrd was nothing but a weak spoiler, name four or five fighters from the past forty years that moved up from 170 at any point and fought world class big men on a successful, consistent basis better since Byrd ?

 

There are two possibilities on that.

Lewis might simply have concluded that Byrd would not be a big draw, but it is also possible that he was wary of facing a southpaw, as some champions have been.

Either way, Byrd should probably have got a shot on meritocratic grounds.

I'm not arguing whether Byrd should or should not have gotten a title shot,Im saying he doesn't beat Lewis, and nobody wanted to see him try!

 

My dog knows more about boxing than Max Kellerman,and he is more articulate too!

 

YOOOOO Said It Brother!!!!

This isnt even worth a serious response.
