    What makes you say that?

    Byrd was under slave contract with Universum. He would have had to take the rematch if Vitali sought it out but he didn't

    Instead he was forced to face Wlad who didn't even have a WBO ranking.
    And he also wasn't allowed have a defence or a tune up while he waited for Wlad take two against Bostice and Barret.

    Going over on the place he weighed under 200 pounds. He put the extra weight on by eating frankfurters.
    On top of all that Byrd complained that there was a blinding substance on Wlads gloves:tired

    As unbelievable as all that sounds , there is proof to back it up.

    Would the Danny Williams that beat Tyson beat the Vitali that beat Chisora??? I'm saying his chances would be slim to none.

    Foreman lost to Jimmy Young in 1977 and did not fight again until 1987. He won 24 fights in a row against mostly bums, 23 by KO (only Bigfoot Martin went the distance) before fighting Evander Holyfield in 1991.

    Holmes came back in 1991, won 6 in a row against mostly bums (except he gave Mercer his first loss in a dominating decision win) before fighting Evander Holyfield in 1992.

    not sure what you are talking about? Holmes came back in 88 to fight Tyson...foreman was there already with wins ,you already stated this? what does your post have to do with someone saying Foreman wasn't around?
