Chris Cornelius "Rapid Fire" Byrd, (born August 15, 1970), is a 6 ft. / 182.9 cm. tall southpaw boxer. He is the former WBO and IBF heavyweight champion.//Chris Byrd won the silver medal in the 1992 Barcelona summer Olympics as a middleweight, losing to Cuba's Ariel Hernández in the final. He moved up to heavyweight three fights into his professional career. As a result of his not being a "natural heavyweight" (i.e., well over 6 ft. tall and at least 230 lb. / 104.3 kg.) he lacks overwhelming punching power. This has led many to deem Byrd's highly technical style of boxing (jabbing, fast hands, sporadic combination-punching, and evasive body movement) too boring for the heavyweight division. Regardless, Byrd was one of the world's best heavyweights in the late 1990's.Chris Byrd was the youngest of eight children growing up in Flint, Michigan (U.S.A.). He began boxing at age 5, training in his father (Joe Sr.)'s Joe Byrd Boxing Academy. His father continued to train and manage Byrd as a professional. Byrd began competing in the ring at age 10, and compiled an impressive 275 wins in the amateur ranks. He was a three-time U.S. amateur champion (1989, 1991, and 1992). He was on the 1991 U.S. National Team that became the first (and only) U.S. team to score a tie against the heralded Cuban team. Byrd turned professional on Jan 28, 1993, displaying punching power by knocking out 10 of his first 13 opponents. Byrd remained undefeated for his first 26 fights, knocking off then-notable opponents like Uriah Grant, Bert Cooper, Frankie Swindell, Jimmy Thunder and Ross Puritty.During the last week of March 2000, Byrd was offered the chance to be the replacement (for Donovan Ruddock) against undefeated champion Vitali Klitschko in Berlin, Germany (Klitschko's adopted home country) for the WBO Heavyweight Title. With only seven days to prepare for the fight (not the customary 6-12 weeks), and facing a hometown favorite, Byrd took on a great challenge. Byrd struggled greatly in the fight until the fifth round, when he began to back up his 6-foot-7-inch (200.7 cm.) opponent. Byrd then succeeded in further pressing his opponent and started turning the fight against the champion. Klitschko finished the ninth round, but complained of shoulder pain and was unable to continue. Despite trailing on all three of the judges' scorecards, Chris Byrd walked away with a TKO win and a heavyweight championship. The injury that Vitali Klitschko suffered was a torn shoulder rotator cuff, which required major surgery and a 7 month lay-off. Six months later, Byrd was back in Germany to defend the title against Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali's younger, more agile and powerful brother. Twelve rounds later, Byrd had lost a lopsided unanimous decision and the WBO belt after being knocked down twice
