    If Roy Jones Jr. and Chris Byrd had battled it off in their primes at heavyweight, who do you think would have won? Please vote, it's a poll :)

    Byrd, if you give him a three round handicap.

    It's not a bad stylistic matchup for Roy at all, Byrd would have to depend on size, and punching power (ha) to take care of Roy.

    Jones would have beaten Byrd at his own game.

    Byrd would have knocked Jones out. It is so obvious. It's not too late, let's see that fight ASAP!

    Yeah, Byrd would've dusted Roy's goatee off with those massive feathers of his. :yep

    I just want to let everyone know that there is only a 1 inch height difference between the two boxers. RJJ is 5'11", and Chris Byrd is 6'0". Physically speaking they're virtually equal.

    In body stature Byrd is a little bigger, I think.

    I have no doubt about Byrd knocking Roid out.

    I think you underestimate Byrd a lot. Tarver knocked Roid out for god's sake! Not to mention...........

    Tarver at 175 could probably KO anyone Byrd's knockedout at heavyweight. :lol:

    You can never talk about underestimation.

    You said Jones had a glass chin for years, then when someone finally stopped him, you act as though you always knew, and never gave him credit for anything.

    If I go around telling people it is going to rain everyday, eventually I will be a prophet.

    Roid stayed away from so many real fighters to fight postal workers, etc. Roid is a fake hero.
