    Who takes this one, both Champions are sculpting down to a solid 160

    Well it would certainly be an interesting matchup, but I think Byrd would be too defensively sound, Tito could very well injure a rotator cuff trying to land a right hand against him....same way Vitali and Holy both did.
    Plus Byrd has mixed it up with big hitters like David Tua, Ibeabuchi, and Golota I think he would have enough power to get Tito's respect early on

    Probably Trinidad. Byrd had double hip and shoulder surgery, he’s a walking statue.

    I dread to think what 2 or 3 chunky left hooks from Trinidad would do to this veganized, post surgery Byrd.

    Bryd looks like he's been on the pipe since he retired

    Hopefully he doesn't ever fight again

    Trinidad would win... Byrd tried to fight at light heavyweight and got stopped by a journeyman.

    Vegan diet tore his body up. He lost collagen from not eating meat. Collagen is needed for bone , hair , skin, ligament , and nails. It is vital for bone density.

    Said part is Vegan call that detoxing the body.

    They obviously prefer to go at it directly, an alternative path:

    Early 2021
    • Felix Trinidad vs Amir Khan
    • Chris Byrd vs Adrian Broner
    Assuming no upsets occur, both Trinidad and Byrd will get ranked at 160, then the fight is for a WBA belt (regular or interim)

    His low bodyfat % is seen by some as a sign of good health/conditioning.
    In reality he is starving on a BS vegan diet.

    He looks so ****ing frail.

    Chris Byrd is in phenomenal shape (aesthetically). He's on a vegan diet and is very open about his body falling apart prior to his transformation. I don't think he could take shots from Paulie at this point.

    Just look how poor his muscles look.

    Now here is Hopkins, at the same age:
