I'm not sure that Byrd has anything significant to trouble Lewis. Lewis should pick him apart over twelve rounds.
Lennox Lewis would win by stoppage in the middle rounds against Byrd, it'd be a lot like the second fight Byrd had with Wladimir Klitschko. And Byrd would beat Ruiz had they fought when they were champions.
The six fools, I mean fans who picked Byrd should have their membership revoked, and thrown into a boxing 101 class.
i have said lewis is one of the best head to haed heavyweights ever but i dont think he was the right kind of style to beat byrd.
Um, do we need to discuss why that has no relevance? In my opinion, Byrd and Ruiz were equally ****, Lewis crucifies both.
Lewis is generally thought to be a better Version of Wlad and i agree. Nevertheless i think Lewis-Byrd would´ve been closer than Wlad-Byrd. Simply because Wlad is fighting more cautious. Lewis would´ve tried things to end it earlier and that would give Byrd some opportunities. Maybe Lewis would´ve stopped him, but if it would´ve gone to the sorecards, i think Byrd could´ve won a couple of rounds more than against Wlad.
Styles make fights? I say LL keeps him on the end of his jab and eventually a big right hand or 2 will come over and lights out...not too disimilar to how Wlad did the job.
Chris Byrd boxes rings around lewis all night long nearly stopping lennox late then Byrd wakes up the morning of the fight and packs he's bags and head's of to the arena and gets blown the f**k away by a big lewis right hand. Biggest mismatch glad this fight never took place
One right straight landed flush and Byrd would be sat next to me in the cheap seats at the back of the arena
