I remember wanting to see this particular fight back in the days. They even could've potentially met each other on the Don King's "Night of heavyweights", but it never materialized.
If they meet anytime between 2002 and 2006...

Re: Hasim Rahman vs Chris Byrd
Byrd wins a UD in a boring fight. He was too slick, unhittable, and skilled to lose this one. Not that Rahman was bad; quite the opposite, he was one of the best of his era. But he couldn't have beaten Byrd.
Re: Hasim Rahman vs Chris Byrd
I think Byrd UD too. He was really hard to beat.

Byrd by UD in the most boring and meaningless HW fight in history
Re: Hasim Rahman vs Chris Byrd
Hahahaha....harsh but probably accurate. Byrd's style was a tough one to crack, most of the time.Les Norton wrote: ↑11 Feb 2024, 07:25 Byrd by UD in the most boring and meaningless HW fight in history

Either Rahman jabbed and nailed the southpaw Byrd with big right hands to take a decision or Byrd would outbox Rahman behind his southpaw jabs and counterpunches to take a decision.
Re: Hasim Rahman vs Chris Byrd
I honestly just can't see Rahman beating Byrd. A puncher's chance is all he's got here, and even that is minimal due to Byrd's defensive skills. Byrd obviously wouldn't beat Rahman up all that severely, but he'd outbox him clear as day.
I think Byrd beats Rahman 10 times out of 10 to be honest. Just a bad matchup for Rahman.
Boxing's funny that way sometimes. I can't see Rahman beating Byrd, but I also can't see Byrd ever beating Lennox Lewis.
