Chris Byrd still dodging Wladimir Klitschko

[Torino]

After refusing to fight Wladimir Klitschko, who's ranked #3 in the IBF behind Rahman and Barrett (who are fighting each other for the WBC intern title in July), I thought Byrd was going to redeem himself a little by fighting Toney. Due to Toney's suspension that's not going to happen.

This was a good opportunity for Byrd to man up and fight Wladimir, but he pussied out again and is scheduled to fight Serguei Lyakhovich (ranked 7 in the IBF) instead. Byrd continues to prove himself an unworthy "Paper Champion" and I hope Serguei Lyakhovich kicks his ass.

What do you think?

I think you should watch more boxing besides the Klits, & who effects them............

I think that three debatable decision wins are infinitely more impressive than getting starched by two no-hopers, and a close call against a guy who got knocked out in one round by the legendary Joe Mesi.

Didn't Wlad also fight some clown named Fabio?

That's a ridiculous comment. You couldn't possibly know how much boxing or what fights I watch. Only thing you can safely determine from my post is that I'm a Klitschko fan, Chris Byrd's a ***** and that's no secret. Maybe you should try watching the Klitschko's

byrd wont fight wlad

wlad = high risk/low reward

I think Byrd Vs. Lyakhovich is a very fare match!

They both docked Wlad, so why not let the two pu$$ies fight for the best pu$$Y

LOL yeah I agree. I even heard accounts that the Klitschko camp was trying to make another fight with Lyakhovich for this summer as an IBF title eliminator.

Byrd will more than likely not "man up" and fight Wlad. Like the fix mentioned, that would be high risk, low reward. Outside of many true klitschko fans, people still think Wlad is a dead man walking. If Byrd were to challenge him, he would lose the fight more than likely. Even if he beat him, he would not get the respect for doing so: Because people will point to Wlad being either washed up, or lacking stamina, or you know what I mean. Let the scared people fight eachother then, yes.

i think the reward for byrd would be a bigger payday than fighting most anyone else, especially the clowns he's been fighting

I see Wlad facing the winner of Brewster vs Golota more than I see him facing the winner of Byrd vs Lyachovich. Especially if Golota wins, you know Don King is going to look to match the two big European white guys and try to cash in on them.
