Was Byrd washed when wlad taxed his ass twice or did a prime wlad handspeed trouble him???That wasn't prime Bryd tho. That was an old washed up Bryd that unwittingly dropped down to 175 after never really serious campaigning at that weight before. This aint even Bryd coming outta the Olympics at super middle fighting at light heavy.
@Yuzo asked about a match up that realistically could have happened at a certain time. (late 2003 - early 2004)
He didn't ask who would win between the washed up 2008 versions of both fighters.
and what the fukk does that have to do with anything? Yes Bryd was still in his prime when Wlad beat him, but that's Wlad. Roy would prolly get soul clapped too. Roy can't Virgil Hill every tall nikka he come across. 
Besides, Hand speed usually bothers everybody, but it's the other things such as height, reach, power, etc... that can factor into how effective hand speed can be. I'm sure Wlad's handspeed wasn't the only thing that bothered Bryd.
We talking about Roy vs Bryd during 2003-2004. If you think Roy wins, that's fine, but don't bring up some other shyt that has nothing to do with the match up. I could understand if Wlad was a common opponent, but he's not.

Mikey will retire if/when Spence beats him. I know it. No Loma-Garcia.

It’s like a 90 percent chance Robert Garcia will throw the towel in. I know Mikey sees some flaw he thinks he can exploit, and will get well deserved respect for ‘daring to be great ‘ but your first fight at 147 against the natural middle weight boogeyman of the division

So PBC will have 3 PPV’s from December to March? Fury/ Wilder, Broner/ Pac(?), And Spence/Garcia?

Mikey seems like a guy who doesn’t wanna box forever. Can definitely see him retire or walking away if he takes an L.Mikey will retire if/when Spence beats him. I know it. No Loma-Garcia.

I think Broner vs Pac gonna do the most, around 400k or so, then Wilder which gonna be 250-300 and then Spence with 200-250

The boy felt Hurd was cheating and joined the dark side...you cant blame him after going life and death with someone that walks around like 220 my weight

Yes, I do
If these news are true this dude was like "fukk it I'm gonna take my blood pressure medicine, I'm out y'all"
Hurd actually made weight. Made second day weight to according the IBF rules
If you have problem with dudes like Munguia or Hurd coming in as damn 175ers on fight night then blame the system which allows them to do so not the fighters who can exploit the rules.No fighter out there is like "I could made x weight without totally draining myself but oh well I'm gonna compete in x+1 weight instead cause it's more fair to the other fighters". Only fighters who don't cut as much as they could (without draining themselves) are the ones who already moved up in divisions. Or maybe some smaller HWs too who could be cruisers but they think HW = big money. Hurd just unified and he is on the brink of a unification with Charlo for all the belts, I doN't blame him for staying at 154 yet.
Only a unified rehydration clause between all 4 major sanctioning bodies could do anything with this. Second day weigh in is an attempt too and it is good to decrease size difference somewhat but you see dudes like Hurd can still make the second day weigh in and come in big af fight night no matter that they did a 2nd day weigh in.
