Ron Lyle or Mike Tyson

Big Ron was a tremendous puncher but I voted for Iron Mike.However the gap between these
2 guys re their punching power is not as wide as some fans would say.

 

Lyle may have hit harder punch for punch, but Tyson was much faster and had more in his arsenal by way of setting up attacks.

 

Lyle would win.

 

tyson by ko round 1 or 2

 

Lol

 

Iron mike IMO and no doubt about it

 

Would he bloody hell

 

This plus infinity …

 

Only if he brings a .44 magnum into the ring with him.

 

Tyson was a far more effective knocker outer. He KO'd many more elite fighters than Lyle ever did.

 

Not sure who had more raw power. Foreman had all kinds of praise for Lyle's power and insisted it was up there with the best shots he ever took. Bugner and Caldwell also praised Lyle. Tyson had crazy power, but it's odd that so many opponents such as Tillis, Thomas, Holyfield, etc stated that he wasn't the hardest puncher they faced.

Gun to my head, maybe Tyson did hit harder (at least in combinations) due to his insane acceleration, odd angles, and superior technique. At the very least, Tyson was the more effective puncher and the better finisher. Lyle could hurt just about anyone, but when someone offered resistance in the form of superior defense or spoiling tactics, he came up short. Tyson's power was consistently effective no matter the level or style of the opponent.

 

Holyfield also said that Tyson never hit him cleanly so he couldn't really judge his power.

 

lmao everyone thinks this is a fight

Lyle for sure hit harder
