    Byrd always had good movement but seemed to lack power. Wilder by TKO:dead

    If Byrd can go the distance with Wlad, Tua, Golota, McCline among others that clown isn't stopping him.

    Wilder struggled with Szpilka's awkward southpaw movement. Byrd beats him by close but clear decision.

    If Wilder tore a bicep against walking punchbag Arreola, Byrd would make him miss so badly his arms would fly off like boomerangs into the front row :deal

    I'll do you one better, despite the fact that he was not a power puncher by any means, he would put together a nice flurry with those fast hands and stop Deontay late.

    Byrd would make Wilder look silly for most of the fight but I think his lack of power and Wilders height and reach would tell Wilder late behind on points by a desperate but devastating KO.

    Byrd won against Vitali more convincingly than Lennox Lewis did. How on earth is Wilder going to win against Byrd? You're dreaming.

    Byrd has the talent, skills, athleticism, and slickness to give Wilder trouble.

    Wilder has the speed and talent to potentially land some flush power shots.

    I could envision it going either way, and think it would be a fun match-up among the mythical variety.
