Not saying Lyle is Joe Louis. But he was a legitimate top 10 contender in a golden who gave a good account of himself against the best. I can’t...
Lyle wins with a sensational knockout. Rudduck’s reputation was solely built on not getting KO’d in 1 by a rusty Tyson. Tyson was never the same...

Other Heavyweights may have more of a resume and legacy, but head to head, I think Fury beats anyone in a Trilogy.
Can't say for sure who wins. Johnson was not a great puncher despite is strength, Tunney, though not a creampuff was not a tremendous puncher....
