    Spinks was a former 175 pound fighter who was years past his best as well. You want to talk about Adamek's (lack of) impressive performances, how about Spinx about beating up a coked up Cooney and Steffen (Who?) Tangstad ? :lol:

    Again, Holyfield was against a former 190 pounder against a much naturally larger man. He was roided up, not naturally the same size as Tyson

    Props to Hendo. After the Haye Wlad fight he as one of the first people to compliment Wlad on his speed/defensive head movement etc.

    No, it's not irrelevant. Vitali was injured. If you think that he had problems against Byrd you're just a moron and don't understand Vitali's skills. Your rational is just awful, your basing a win off a self inflicted injury to say that another fighter will win. How does that make sense? Also, Wladimir, the worse of the brothers, destroyed Byrd twice. Finally, Vitali was winning the fight. No other rational explanation points to Byrd ever winning if Vitali was uninjured.

    In this post - more assumptions

    "Wladimir isn't as good as Vitali"

    In this post -

    Thinking Wladimir beating Byrd has anything to do with Vitali LOSING to Byrd"

    Here he is during his Kickboxing career at age 21/22. I'm not sure his weight for this fight but i'm pretty sure he used to fight at 205.

    Vitali also doesn't like it to the body. Byrd showed that. :deal

    LOL, Vitali looks like a cruiserweight. He obviously worked his way up.

    the injury wasnt inflicted by byrd, it was an internal injury. Byrd lost very nearly every round, its not the same as the lennox fight where vitali was marginally ahead when the fight was stopped due to the damage inflicted by lewis.

    Why don't you answer the question then, oh you medical specialist? Are you suggesting Byrd had anything to do with the injury? :deal
