Re: Ron Lyle V
Very underrated fighter.
Good boxing skills and impressive punching power.
Loses to Larry Holmes(TKO11), Mike Tyson(TKO4) & Vitali Klitshko(UD12).
Could win and lose against Evander Holyfield (either L12 Dec or W TKO8) & Lennox Lewis (L12 Dec or KO6).
Would win against David Haye (TKO8).
I have to say (sorry Ray), in my opinion, Lyle did tend to tire but that didn't mean he was any less dangerous, just less active.

Re: Ron Lyle V
Out of curiosity, why is David Haye on the list?ThatOne wrote:Larry Holmes
Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Lennox Lewis
Vitali Klitshko
David Haye
Haye comes nowhere close to the others in terms of stature & legacy & although he held a version of the heavyweight championship, he has never & will probably never be the best heavyweight in the world.
For the record, I see Tyson knocking out Lyle; I see Lennox Lewis stopping him late on; I see Vitali outpointing him; I see Holyfield winning by TKO, with the ref stepping in to save Lyle & I see Lyle being too physically strong for Haye & possibly stopping him late on.

Re: Ron Lyle V
I agree that it's likely that Holyfield-Lyle would turn to a slugging match, but I still think this would be a foolish ploy for Holyfield. His heart and chin would very likely see him through, but it would be a very risky strategy against a big puncher such as Lyle. The same strategy lost him the fight against Bowe - watch the first fight again and you'll see that Holyfield had the most success when using his speed and boxing skills and the least success when slugging it out. I believe it would be the same against Lyle - who while not as big as Bowe was still bigger than Holyfield and a much bigger puncher.
Holyfield might have beaten Lyle in a slugfest, but it would be no guarantee.

Re: Ron Lyle V
I never argued it wouldn't be his best strategy to box him. It's just highly unlikely that is going to happen. Either way, Evander will win. I have no doubt he would have some rough spots along the way before Ron gassed and he took him out. As for Lyle being a much bigger puncher than Holyfield, I'll disagree with that.jezzamundo wrote:I agree that it's likely that Holyfield-Lyle would turn to a slugging match, but I still think this would be a foolish ploy for Holyfield.

Oh, cmon Saad. I actually agree with most of your points in this thread, but you drastically over-rate your mans punch with that last line. Lyle lands punch after punch after punch after punch the way Holyfield did vs. Foreman, Cooper & co. & the results are miles different.
Holyfield simply did not have a HW punch. It was at best marginlly above average. At best.

Re: Ron Lyle V
Well, I do think Holy had a HW punch, just not in the same league as Lyle. Lyle put George nearly out at the end of, I think, the 3rd round with a single left hook counter. Lyle's power was similar to a Foreman/Shavers, it's just that sometimes he lacked the confidence or will to utilize that power.Goodnight, Irene wrote:Oh, cmon Saad.

Re: Ron Lyle V
He was a way bigger puncher than Holyfield. I cant believe that would ever be in dispute.

Re: Ron Lyle V
Holyfield not having a Heavyweight punch is one of the more preposterous things I've ever read. I don't disagree that Lyle hit harder. It was the much part that I would contest.Goodnight, Irene wrote:Oh, cmon Saad.
