    Byrd said his weight was significantly lower then what the scales said, that he was really about 205 if it said 215.

    Could be but it seems like he weighted between 212 and 218 for most of bis fights at that time ...

    I'd try match Byrd against the slowest fighters possible to maximise his speed edge. He's not knocking the giants out, but I'd rather have him fight Joyce than AJ for instance. He might do surprisingly well against Wilder who tended to telegraph his shots.

    Byrd would probably have a bunch of defensive highlights in that bout, right before he becomes a highlight KO in the same fight lol.
