Ron Lyle vs Riddick Bowe

[DrDuke]

What about Ronny, who gave hell to the Big George, facing the Big Daddy, who dethroned Holy?

12 rounds.

Bowe stops him-one sided, too.

[oogiebe]

Have to give it to Bowe at first glance, but Lyle could take him out. 60/40.

[DrDuke]

I definitely don't see it one-sided, yet I favor Bowe heavily. Lyle was extremely tough and he was ready to slug, so he would provide some problems for Bowe, who never avoided brawling and was much more offensive than defensive.

Earlier in the fight it gotta be a close toe-to-toe battle, but eventually Bowe would prevail. Riddick was superior not only in physique, he also had a much more diverse arsenal and edged with speed and fluidness.

Bowe by the stoppage in about 10 round war.

Lyle is no small guy, and would give his best and would have a puncher's chance, but I think 9 times out of 10 Bowe stops him.

I find it funny that you say Lyle was no small guy. When people on here constantly say Usyk is too small and Lyle and Usyk are the same height weight and reach.
And I am not disagreeing with you on saying that is not small. I just find it funny that people think one way on one fighter and another on a different fighter

Big Daddy Bowe would get the better of Lyle and stopping him in 12 rounds under the 15 rounder.

I don't think I've ever referred to Usyk as "small" exactly. Because even though he started out a Cruiserweight, he's never struck me as an undersized Heavyweight or nothing. He's beefed up to about 220 or so, which is plenty big enough I'd say.

Not trying to single you out. I've just read several people making similar comments on boxrec and other sites.
I just find it humerus
