    I'm kinda surprised by the early KO predictions. Lyle was hardly a stranger to war and did have some boxing ability. He's known for his with Foreman, yet he's shown he's at least a handy boxer-puncher in other fights. Ultimately he likely gets stopped late, but I don't see Tyson walking through him

    Difference is, Lyle would come to go to war, not stink out the joint with excessive holding. I had some dork tell me that Smith gave Tyson a "boxing lesson".

    I think a Lyle/Tyson match up would have been better informed by Smith/Tyson if Smith showed up to fight. I wish to this very day that Witherspoon had beaten Smith and he had gotten to fight Tyson.

    Tyson was much faster than Foreman and had better defense and punch selection.
