What if Chris Byrd had Holyfields punching power

He'd still have a fairly similar style. Holyfield's power was respectable and above average but it wasn't the kind he could use to bail himself out of trouble or spark guys out. Byrd would be pretty scary even with Holyfield's power but not by a drastic amount. He'd still have to use his brain more than his brawn and be very cagey and technical to make the most of his abilities.

Peter would be a very entertaining fight. I could see Byrd taking a close decision, especially with extra power. Might look like the James Toney fights.

Brewster would slaughter him regardless. Bad matchup. Brewster would be willing to take 3 blows to land one and his hook would batter Byrd in the corner until he broke him down.

Haven't seen Maskaev

Rahman..hmm...not sure about that one. Byrd is already a tricky fight for him, but if you add Holy's power that is very winnable for Byrd.

Byrd decisions Liakovich

Beats Ruiz with or without extra power.

Now that you say that I may be inclined to agree about Brewster. If you haven't seen maskaev check out his 2 fights with Rahman.
