Kidding about what? Very interesting fight. Both souhpaws. Byrd faster and slicker, but Moorer also a capable boxer and pretty good power. I edge Moorer b/c Byrd never had to cope with someone like Moorer his whole career. He could make big, slower guys like McCline, Tua, and Golota miss and look stupid, but Moorer is a different catch. Moorer UD 12. Possibly with a KD.

Byrd could never win this fight... That's what he must be kidding about.

Moorer didn't have a good chin and was always vulnerable to guys with decent power. However, Byrd couldn't crack an egg. Byrd was good defensively and was especially effective against slow fighters. However, Moorer was fairly quick and would have been able to get to Byrd enough. Moorer wasn't a brutal puncher, but he could hit. Moorer should be able to get to Byrd enough to stop him in the mid to late rounds.
