    Some fans say Foreman would be champ today, but Lyle was no bigger than David Haye and Foreman up and down like a Yo Yo!:lol:
    Any time "big" George fought some one his own size he didnt look so awesome.

    foreman wasn't the same beast he was pre-ali in this fight, he wasn't himself anymore in my opinion psychologically

    Personally think this is better than Hagler vs Hearns

    Difference was, Ron Lyle was a beast and had no fear.

    Foreman in his prime weighed around 220 to 227.
