Both carried enough power and were hittable enough to KO each other. Lyle was a better fighter though. So, it's easier to see Lyle getting to Wilder first with his best shots. I guess, Lyle would finish the job by the mid-rounds.

How about Ron Wilder vs. Deontay Lyle?

I was thinking James Wilder vs Sparky Lyle.

The more I imagine it, just cannot envision Wilder winning this fight.

Either Lyle landed long range punches to take a decision or late round stoppage or Wilder would take him out with his big right hand in the late rounds or take a decision.
