I like Chris Byrd the person. He seems to be a really nice and stand up guy. But Chris Byrd the boxer is far too overrated. I don't think it's his fault, he's just too small to really compete in the heavyweight division. Every guy who has a belt is so much bigger than him, like Wlad for example. Whats 6'1, 215 lb Byrd going to do vs. 7'3 350 lb Valuev??

Oh the 3 belt (4 if you count the WBO) system is shit. But it will be that way forever because of all the money involved. Boxing needs a central comission (like other US sports), but that won't happen either because it is a world wide sport. I love the sport, i don't like how its run. Everything is all about money for the most part now, and its sickening.
