Byrd vs Wladimir Klitschko 2

Just read on fightnews.com that a rematch between IBF champ Chris Byrd and Wladimir Klitschko is almost a done deal. While Klitschko has slipped badly the last couple of years, I still pick him to beat Byrd via 115-113 decision. Maybe the Klitschko brothers' dream of holding world titles simultaneously will come true after all.

It is true the Wlad is on the other side of the hill, but Byrd also started the decent about 3 fights ago. Since Wlad beat him the last time, I expect him to do the same because his confidence will be better due to the fact that Byrd isn't a knockout puncher. That said, Wlad will be a weak champion and won't keep the title long.

Byrd just contacted Boxingtalk own gleon and told him he had no reason to fight that bum, and he is on to bigger and better things, plus he also added that its more likely he will face barret in may on the undercard of tito vs. wright, he said thats the only deal thats been presented to him.

Thats from the horses mouth, G showed post the story today but he said he is going to have it as a headliner for monday.

By the way for this fight to happen A Wlad will HAVE to give don options do to the fact that he is not a number 1 challenger. B. Wlad would be force to fight a long distance fight and we all know he is scared of that. I dont know where you got this story from but byrd Told boxingtalk this earlier today so unless he just up and changed his mind then im sticking to boxingtalk besides they break more storys with truth in it then fightnews.

I would like to see Barrett get a shot. I didn't know that he was a king fighter, the last time I watched him fight, March of last year, he was on HBO. I'm not so sure that you can call Wlad a bum, since he did beat Byrd when the faught.

* I would take Barrett over Byrd.

Wow! It's really great having a know-it-all like you around, erick. Now that you've straightened everything out, you can go back to cleaning your room.

I do agree that Wladimir will be a weak champion. His best days are definitely behind him. I think he should win the belt and promptly retire.

Erick comes off rough but he tends to know his stuff ... if Byrd actually said he has no reason to fight that bum then it just goes to show what a weak ass champ he is. Lewis made a point of beating any fighter who beat him. Byrd doesn't want to fight someone who beat him? Says he had no reason to fight him? Well Chris how about casue he beat you.

That said Wlad will never give King a piece of him so it won't happen if that is a stipulation.

Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:37 pm Post subject: Fightnews is DEAD WRONG AGAIN
I'm not going to report on the front page but I GUARANTEE based on my discussions with Team Byrd that NOT ONE OFFER has been made for the fight yet. It's NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING DONE....
---------------------------------------------------------

Fightnews got there scoop from a site called Www.ringtalk.com The 24krate guy was talking to a cut man for Wlad and he said "Byrd will be the perfect fight for wlad right now" and fightnews ran wild with it!
----
Byrd is going to do a champ mailbeg for boxingtalk next tuesday so next sunday you can email greg you q, you want to ask byrd.

Me and greg are cool im a monitor on the boards.

I find it almost hypocritical of Byrd to claim he is the true champion since he beat Vitali (although he didn't really "beat" him), yet say he has no reason to fight Wlad, even though Wlad beat him.

I say almost since Wlad hasn't done anything to warrent a fight for a title, even if it just an alphabet title.

He has no reason to fight wlad, its not like wlad has a belt like Byrd do!!!

See Klitsko lost plane and simple, Lets say someone says well he won most of the rounds, well some people who saw the fight will see Klitsko was missing like a mad man!!!

But anyway byrd rebuild himself and won a title, what has wlad done? but get knocked down against williamson and almost stopped? Wlad is not going to give 3 to 4 fight options to don, and wlad is not a number 1 contender, and even if he was byrd do not have to fight him until december because he cleared all of his mandatories duties last december.

King said on the Zab judah vs. spink press call (which i was on the line live thanks to gleon) He said he is very eecited about the possiblity of having all four hw title so he can begin his tourny, which to me tells me that he is not having byrd fight any outsiders, Remember the toney vs ruiz fight? well goosen admits that the fight do give don secondary, promotional options which means he wont be the first promoter but he will be involved.

All this information goes to Gleon of boxingtalk.com, its great being able to be on the line with fighters, and g as he clears the dirt up.

Fact is, Byrd got his belt by beating up a washed up Evander Holyfield. The only reason Chris wouldn't fight Wladimir again is that he still cringes from the beating he took the first time.

I would love to see a heavyweight tourney. It would prove once and for all that Vitali Klitschko is the REAL Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Vitali was destroying Byrd when he tore his rotator cuff almost five years ago. It was simply a matter of him wearing out his shoulder from busting his fist upside of Chris's head so many times.

Byrd's last three performances have been pathetic. He barely got by the likes of Jameel McCline, an old Andrew Golota, and Fres Oquendo. He would do well for himself to steer clear of the Klitschko brothers.

Fact is Wlad got knocked down and beat up by a guy who only went 30 seconds with joe mesi, and Joe mesi got knocked down three times against jirov, and jirov lost to a old fat moorer! Byrd also schooled, Tua, and almost knocked mcline down, Mcline himself said from round 10-12 he would not fight toe to toe with byrd because he felt he was going to fall over!

Im starting to like Vitli, but that wob't change the fact with 2 rounds left and he is 6'8 fighting a none puncher he quit like a bitch! all he had to do was throw the other hand he is 6'8 for god sake! But he does have a good fighting style watch.

Toney Eyes Ruiz Match-up
Saturday 29th January 2005

James 'Lights Out' Toney could be in line for a shot at a fourth world title after WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz was mandated to fight the loudmouth from Los Angeles.

Toney, who won the IBF middleweight title as long ago as 1991, announced himself on the heavyweight scene with an impressive dismantling of the legendary Evander Holyfield in 2003.

The 36-year-old was forced onto the sidelines for almost 12 months with an Achilles tendon injury but returned with a convincing points defeat of Rydell Booker last September.

'Lights Out' has never ducked a challenge and spent most of his idle year calling out the main pretenders to the heavyweight crown - now it looks like he will have the chance to prove himself against the 'Quiet Man', widely regarded as the weakest of the four current champions.

Promoter Don King has been ordered by the WBA to commence negotiations with Toney's promoter Dan Goossen, with a deadline of February 9 in which to reach an agreemant.

Meanwhile, Polish enigma Andrew Golota, who lost narrowly to Ruiz at Madison Square Garden in November, looks set to bid for a third world title in as many fights after being paired with WBO champ Lamon Brewster.

Golota returned from the wilderness to bustle up IBF belt holder Chris Byrd in a drawn fight last April, and will take on Brewster in a showdown now pencilled-in for April 16

Boy that boy toney got himself a smart ass promoter, when did he become the number 1 challenger? Last I checked rahman vs. Keli was for the #1 spot i think by rahman fight klitsko, there making toney the number 1 challenger, I can't wait for Toney to rid us of RUIZ!

erick:

Wladimir Klitschko defeated Davarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson. ("the guy who only went 30 seconds with Joe Mesi.")

Wladimir Klitschko knocked out Jameel McCline. Chris Byrd was very fortunate to earn the split decision against "Big Time."

Wladimir Klitschko clobbered Chris Byrd in their first fight. He will do it again, should there be a re-match.

Vitali Klitschko insists that his decision in the Byrd fight saved his career and allowed him to move on to bigger and better things. Hard to argue with that. He is the current Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Believe it or not, I actually appreciate your differing views. Life would be boring if everyone agreed all the time!

Erick is very knowledgable about boxing but he hates the Klitschko's and he isn't objective at all when it comes to them. I'm also starting to think he is in love with Byrd. Byrd should want to face anyone who beat him. Wlad beat him, yet he doesn't want to avenge it. Any fight against either Klitschko's is profitable, so the only assumption one can come to is he's scared.

Notice I said assumption. Also as much as I hate Lewis. he avenged both of his losses and retired having beaten every fighter he faced. Byrd should want to avenge his loss and Wlad is a shell of the fighter that beat him before so he should want him now before he gets any kind of confidence back (if that's possible).

Mh lol how did you know I hate those boys?

Mr.big what has wladmir do in his last 4 bouts? Get KTFO by Corrie sanders get KTFO by Lamon, and almost lost to Williamson (Who i had winning the fight) and did i mention williamson only went 30 seconds with Mesi, and Mesi got knocked down 3 times against Jirov, adn Jirov lost to a fat old moorer?

While on the other hand.

Byrd has defeated Tua, Mcline, Holyfield (before all of his losses)

See lets take holyfield for example, sure we can say oh, he beat bowe, oh he beat foreman!\, but so what!! thats the past what has he down in his last 3 fights?

So lets stick to what Ranking is all about, rankings is not about your career but about what you've done lately, and wlad, hasn't done ****!

Anyway Byrd is a real man, man's man! This guy can't punch weight 209 and is fighting people 6'9 and 290 pounds with power and skills and he is str8 up schooling these fags!!!

Did i mention he holds a V over Vatli? I don't care how he got it he still won!

So in my eyes he is the Real champ!

Just thought I let you guys know if you didn't
My boy spinks is fighting saturaday showtime, and the undercard was suppose to have
Barret vs. beck
and Davis vs. bell
Well davis refused to sign the contract, the contract do have a promotional options, (Don king was davis promoter) Davis don't want to sign becuase davis believes king dont want to make him a star.

Oh well that was going to be a crazy fight
------------------------

Why should byrd fight wlad when wlad ex conditioning coach admit that he put a special form a firm by his knockles after he raps them?

Sure it will be nice for him to fight wlad but its a high risk low reward fight,


Mh if byrd should avenge his loss dont you think klitsko should too?>

I would love to see Vitale fight Byrd. I'd like there to be only one champ. I don't think Byrd can beat him now. I think Rahman can though if he come in ready for the fight.

I agree mh. A Vitali/Byrd matchup would be profitable for both fighters and unify two of the belts. My prediction: Klitschko TKO 9.

Hasim Rahman is the biggest challenge right now for Vitali Klitschko. If "The Rock" can't beat him, it could be a long reign for the Ukranian. Hats off to the champ for taking the toughest fight out there. Unlike Byrd, he can't be criticized for ducking anyone.
