    I think so.

    What Lyle had over Foreman was stylistic advantage more than anything else.
     
  2. please stop to talk pure ****... ron lyle was harder puncher than holyfield by a mile. and ron lyle took shots from foreman and shavers, who were by far harder punchers than PRIME tyson. and lyle would destroy bruno as well, bruno had no chin.
     
  3. lyle would beat bruno and golota in the same week.:deal
     
  4. tyson never faced a man who knocked down george foreman early and more of once (when he was not tired).(foreman had x2 better chin than tyson, and x2 more heart) not even in dreams lewis,holyfield or any rival of tyson would hurt foreman early, old foreman was competent against a prime holyfield lmao. and tyson post prison was destroyed by past prime evander. lyle would destroy this version of tyson,simple.

    First of all, has any fighter gotten more credit for a losing effort than Lyle? Let's remember, he lost the fight. And he lost the fight to an increasingly mentally unstable, unfocussed champion.

    Secondly, let's remember that Lyle, for all his supposed power, never finished an elite heavyweight. He took out a chinny fighter of suspect stamina in Shavers and that's about it.

    We are talking here of a fighter that Quarry, cruiserweight Jerry Quarry, handled comprehensively. This man is not going to outmuscle or KO or outclever even a depleted Tyson.
     
  6. And to compare a bum like glass chin bruno with ron lyle is simply blasphemy.
     
  7. :lol::rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl and tyson? who ****ing hell did beat tyson? lol
    135 years old larry holmes? he was destroyed by past prime holyfield, past prime lewis, the bum buster douglas.

    ron lyle did his pro debut in his 30s we never saw a prime lyle, he gave a good fight to ali, he fought a war against foreman, he did beat jimmy ellis, goyo peralta,joe bugner, earnie shavers ,oscar bonavena(who almost did beat frazier).
     
  8. this "cruiser" quarry would give the hell to tons of legends.simple

    and you continues saying this silly thing "chinny" shavers, but frank bruno had a ****ing glass chin and shavers would destroy bruno.

    Your arguments are so ludicrous this all becomes numbingly pedantic.

    Who did Tyson stop? He stopped 8 former or future world heavyweight champs. Let's start there.

    He was stopped by Holyfield when? 7 or 8 years after his prime? Oh, but you're the one who contends that a fighter's prime last over a decade. I guess this would be difficult for you to understand.

    Lyle started late, so what? If my aunt had a pair, she would be my uncle. History notes him as a b-level fighter, a decent story, strong and determined but not overly talented or skilled. His greatest "victory" was a defeat to a fighter whose wheels were absolutely falling off and was mentally crushed in the wake of his defeat to Ali. Beating an over the hill Bonavena- 6 years separated from his greatest moment in KD'ing Frazier- is not a lot to hang your hat on. (Or again, you believe a fighter's prime is over a decade.) Bugner? Really. Joe Bugner is the basis for championship resume? Don't build your houses or arguments on sand, my friend.

    Good lord, proceed with your mindnumbing and baseless assertions that so-and-so b-level fighter would take out this champion or that... i'll think I will go ahead and take the nap you are inducing.

    Tyson was so much quicker ... a fairly easy KO.
     
  11. WHAT A JOKE THIS KID :rofl:rofl:rofl
    TYSON DID BEAT PAPER CHAMPS LIKE BERBICK, TOMMAS, A LHW SPINKS,BRUNO.. TYSON NEVER WAS TESTED AGAINST A PRIME LEGEND, SIMPLE.

    HOLYFIELD IS 4 YEARS OLDER THAN TYSON,LEWIS IS 1 YEAR OLDER THAN TYSON, POST PRISON TYSON DESTROYED EVERY RIVAL EXCEPT HOLYFIELD. WHY? BECAUSE HOLYFIELD WOULD BEAT TYSON ALWAYS MY LITTLE FRIEND. YOUR ARGUMENT IS BASING ON FANTASY PRIME TYSON,CUS DAMATO,KEVIN ROONEY BLABLA BUT THE FACTS ARE TYSON NEVER WAS TESTED WITH ANY GREAT FIGHTER IN HIS PRIME.
    :patsch:lol:
    BONAVENA WON EVERY FIGHT POST LYLE BY UD AND KO AND HE WAS MURDERED IN 1976. HE WAS PERFECT WHEN HE FACED LYLE.
    KID, GO AWAY TO YOUR CAVERN AND LEARNS SOME BOXING

    Tyson better do it early because he would be in for a hard night if Lyle survived the early rounds, and a tough fight is not what Tyson was looking forward to by the mid/late 1990's. I wouldn't say that Tyson's capabilities were all that much better than Earnie Shavers's at that point in his career.
     
  14. :deal lyle took the shots from shavers , he was harder puncher than tyson, lyle would finish him.
