    Lyle was slightly more proven at the highest level in his prime.

    That is enough for me to install him as a slim favorite.

    Mate... Every coherent person can understand it... It is much more complex than "his ribs did not get weaker". Did you see the body of lyle vs cooney? He not only was lighter than he was against foreman but is body was very flabby while against foreman he looked solid,ripped and vigorous despite he was heavier . Also if this idiot says that Cooney would ko 76 lyle in 1 then he is saying that Cooney was better finisher and harder puncher than foreman...What is just laughable

    Vs cooney(and the photo makes him look better)

    Maybe if he landed the same rib breaking punch. But that's it. Punchers like Cooney or Lyle could KO anyone with a well placed punch to the right area of the anatomy.
