the version of lyle who fought foreman in the era of marciano.

spoon gave a war to larry holmes, and holmes would beat walcott,charles and moore any day of the week, and they were not in their primes when they faced marciano(holmes would beat all them in their primes as well), i am sure that spoon would beat all them at this time. if you are comparing foreman with shavers you have a serious problem.
as limited was foreman he won the gold medal and he would kill marciano with a hand in the back, even the old foreman who faced holyfield.
like i said. i am pretty sure that lyle would ko archie moore and much more the version who fought marciano, a prime walcott and prime charles probably would beat lyle by ud, but they were not in their prime. lyle might well beat this version of charles and this version of walcott.

 

for a second i did think that you were serious lol

 

the same guy who lost against piklon tommas? the same spoon who lost by brutal ko in 1 round against james smith? noway

you forget that marciano never faced a guy stronger than himself, lyle was stronger bigger,much more muscular, he had heart, he took shots from harder punchers than rocky and lyle had much longer reach and he was 35 pounds heavier.lyle could punch and he could fight. the style of lyle was not good for rocky. if rocky can go more than 6 rounds, he would win for sure, if lyle catch him early, it is over.

 

yes, it for sure, but i think that he would have his chance for the title, and he might well beat this version of charles and this version of walcott. but yes, probably he would lose too against some guys , but really i think that lyle would have more problems in the era of louis with guys like billy conn.

 

lyle did his pro debut in his 30s 43(31ko)-7 and he did beat jimmy ellis, joe bugner, peralta(96-8 ),shavers,bonavena,busther mathis.
he lost against jimmy young, quarry , he gave the hell to foreman and he gave a good fight to ali.

ron lyle is absolutely underrated.


for example donovan ruddock(overrated like the hell by the tyson fans)

38(29ko)-5 and he fought in his 20s, lyle not.

he did beat james smith,michael dokes,greg page end of the history.
he lost against tyson (post douglas) twice , he was destroyed by morrison and lewis.
how ****ing hell was ruddock even as good as lyle?

 

yes, i know but man, i hate when the people say nonsense " ruddock was better than lyle"
"prime tyson would destroy prime holyfield " basing on??

lyle never fought in his prime and still he has better record against better fighters. i know that lyle was no joe louis but he was a great contender who might be a champ in other era(just like quarry,young,ellis,chuvalo..), he fought in the golden era against great champs, some idiot says " lyle was not great" " he was limited like foreman" and probably the idiot who said it never trained boxing.

 

spoon did not have much better resume than lyle tommy. never!!
