    Holmes most likely wins, but there is absolutely no way he stops Byrd.

    Prime vs prime, Holmes by wide decision or late stoppage.

    Old Holmes vs prime Byrd would be closer. But Larry from the Mercer fight still might edge it.

    holmes stops this light heavyweight late by tko9, thus reversing lightheavyweight Byrds tko9 over superheavyweight vitali.

    Holmes would establish his jab early and dominate the light hitting Byrd.
    Holmes by tko late after numerous knockdowns.

    Easily Holmes. Good hard jabs and cracking rights have Byrd stunned. Chris tries getting flash but Holmes is all work man like. Holmes stops a tired Byrd in the tenth.

    Holmes wins a stinker. He's not going to KO Byrd.

    byrd aint even going to land a title shot in holmes era, facing a LHW with no HW pedigree would embarrass Holmes who was already not an automatic chaser of big fights.

    this is prime byrd I am talking about, the one who stopped superheavyweight vitali klitschko.

    Don't think Byrd has the offense to trouble Holmes who was a master boxer.
    Holmes wins a stinker.
