    I like chris byrd, but i dont see him ever being a champion. Even at cruiserwieght if he decides to fight at that wieght like ppl are saying. What do you guys think? Can he beat a belt holder and who does he have the biggest chance of beating?

    I think he could potentially beat Enzo Mac.

    If he could have moved down a few years ago, perhaps before the latest Wlad beating, and the Povetkin loss I would give him a fair chance against any of the current champions. His skills are diminishing, as he is getting older, and the way he has lost his fights. This may sound odd, but I think he might actually lose some of his advantages moving down as he has as a heavyweight. Pretty much all the CW's at this weight would be around the same speed as him.

    Sure. Why not. There's four belts out there, he could win one of 'em. I'd give him a good shot against Cunningham and Maccarinelli.

    Hard to say. His biggest asset is speed and he's loosing it by the day. Age isn't kind to fighters who rely on speed and reflexes.
