    I can't say. Want to say Lyle stops him but Lyle could be outboxed. Have to think about it.

    Schmeling by knockout. Lyle is tailor-made for Schmeling, since he's a complete sucker for right hands.

    I voted for Schmeling by points but, Schmeling should’ve had a field day with Baer who was even less skilled then Lyle and we all know how that turned out.

    I thought so, but Schmeling was stopped by Baer and Lyle has Baer attributes like size and strength. Lyle also was a better boxer when it came to technical skill. Baer might arguably hit harder. That's why I'm undecided.

    Lyle KO4. Too much man. All he has to do is stick to Plan A. Max got nothing to beat Plan A.

    Levels, folks. Levels.
