This is a fascinating match-up, and I lean towards Lyle by knockout. I'm basing my claim on Lyle's demonstrated boxing abilities, including his capacity to bounce on his toes, jab, and counterpunch. These tactics would keep Lyle in the fight long enough to eventually catch Haye with a mind-numbing powerpunch. I emphasize that we're talking about the 1974-76 Lyle here. After the Foreman fight, Lyle lost his edge, possibly due to accumulated ring punishment and advancing age. The Lyle of the 1977-80 period would not have beaten Haye. That Lyle would have been a plodding slugger who would be vulnerable to Haye's lightning quick combinations and one punch kayo power. But again, as long as the prime Lyle could use his boxing ability to keep Haye from potshotting him, Lyle would prevail. The fight would probably end somewhere between the seventh and ninth rounds, with Haye dominating the early rounds only to be hurt, floored and kayoed by Lyle later.
yea man, some ******ed hater did pick haye lmao but every comment is in favour of lyle. i am surprised even tyson fans like ironchamp did pick lyle by ko, i think that this fight was too easy
haye is to fast for lyle haye would be landing jab after jab and would use the whole ring to stay away from lyle en route to a 15 round ud:yep:think
