I do that ALL the time. And I'm the one who mentioned the post so it's my job to explain WHY I thought it was interesting if need be. If it was just about boxing I of course wouldn't have mentioned it
Funny thing is Byrd was never a natural heavyweight. He could have had a much more favorable relative strength and speed, etc if he had stuck with light-heavyweight in the first place. It's ironic that he spent all that time that heavy and then had to drop so much "weight" versus fat to get down to his more normal point. Despite the fact of his success as a heavyweight...I'm not discountion that of course.
I couldn't get the article Cosgrove referred to to open.
