:huh...and? johnson was fantastic. why not norris? i think byrd could get in at a dash. outside of wlad he was the most dominant heavy for 8 years easy. fought a fantastic list of fighters and beat a ton of them aswell. even though old (holy) or overestimated (golota) and looked bad against oquendo and mccline. it will have to be a very weak year though. he was arguably the man to beat before wlad II happend. longest reigning champ at the time before wlad bowled him over. John Ruiz, Mike Weaver, michael moorer, jimmy ellis, carnera all ina similar position. i think he will get into the wbhf at least.
His win over Vitali doesn't count for anything. Vitali destroyed him with 1 hand and received the injury himself and it turned out to be too terrible to fight with.
Leaning towards no. He won't get his dues. This alone makes me a big fan of him. He had big cajones to juke and jive like greased lightning in there with the big guys. And, unlike fellow runt Pacquiao, he was woefully underpowered. Except for that crazy alternate universe in 'Fight Night 2004' where his stats are almost maxed out over Ali:nut
Chris Byrd was a ****ing idiot that had a really really loud and ugly wife He got hit so hard by Ike he was losing his lunch through his mouth He was also a former middleweight Anybody that quit against Chris Byrd should be labeled a ****ing coward. Not that I can think of anyone that did :think
