Chris Byrd at Light-Heavy?

Chris Byrd gave an interview on Boxingtalk that he was skipping cruiser to drop all the way down to 175 to fight at light-heavy. He is almost at the weight already apparently "just by running".

If it actually happens, I am curious as to how much punching power he would have at this weight? I have heard of punchers losing power as they go up in weight, but is the inverse true? With his boxing skills and good chin, if you threw in punching power I think he would make a dangerous opponent for anyone at 175.

How would he do against Tarver, Woods, Erdei, Dawson, and Green?
