    I would favor him over Byrd and Haye but I think Norton beats him

    I think he decisions Byrd in a close fight. Byrd was excellent but lacked the power to keep iron jawed Breidis off him. I think Breidis's power will be enough for him to score the bigger shots. Breidis UD 12, 7-5.

    I think Breidis-Haye is a 60-40 fight. Breidis is fundamentally better but Haye is faster and arguably harder hitting. Haye had an average chin but was supremely athletic. I think Breidis will be able to score with enough right hands and uppercuts to win a close decision, perhaps scoring a knockdown along the way, but a Haye win wouldn't shock me. Breidis UD 12

    Need to think more on the Norton-Breidis fight.

    Norton beats the daylights out of him. Not sure about the other two.
