that's just sad to see. byrd looks so depressed, and i can't help but feel bad for him the way he's just sitting on the stool. he's always been a great sportsman, and a very respectful (probably THE MOST respectful) fighter. despite his not so exciting performances, i never thought that he deserved such harsh treatment from fans on the net, and even worse fans who would boo him in the bleachers whenever he was announced. i remember the holyfield vs bates bout on FSN, he was announced among with other champs of old and every single man got a cheer from the crowd except for chris, and you can tell by the look on his face that it got to him.
whether it was an article, or even posts on the boxing message boards from members who have had a chance to meet byrd, the story has always been the same...the guy is great person. if he were more of a dickhead (floyd) i'd just drop by with a "LMAO" followed by the laughing emoticon.
