Who did Joe Louis beat that Ron Lyle couldn't?

Interesting question, if I could paraphrase it to wouldnt, maybe Walcott?

 

Looking back, Ellis might've been rated?? But even that I'm skeptical about.

 

Nobody. Lyle could beat anyone Louis beat. Lyle also beats Louis.

 

Lyle beats anyone Louis beat, and Louis too.

 

Nobody

 

If you're wrong, your failure to explain your prediction prevents others from figuring out where you went wrong.

If you're right, your failure to explain your prediction means that we don't have the opportunity to learn why we're wrong.

 

The US tax man
Joe didn't go to jail but Ron did.

 

Conn, Walcott and Schmeling...and possibly Baer.

 

No point trying to eke sense out of him, cross.

For @White Bomber the tale of the tape actually lacks the one criterion he cares about - date of birth. His being on Classic is an odd marriage.

 

You dont mean that

 

What is your point of contention here?

 

Not sure it's the tax man that sends you to jail when you take the rap for a gang shooting.

 

You've got "casual" written all over you if you think Ron Lyle beats Joe Louis.

 

Louis was great for his era, that doesn't mean he stands a chance against the great fighters from the 60s/70s onwards.
Lyle had the chin to trade with Foreman, that means he will have no problem withstanding Louis's blows. And when Lyle lands, Louis won't get up, he has a poor chin.

 

Jesus. You are proof, the dumbest people are the ones most adamant about their opinions.
