    The closest we've come to Ron Lyle in the modern era is Lamon Brewster. Same guts, heart, ability to hurt you and soak up punishment while doing so, tendency to get involved in wild shootouts with knockdowns galore etc.

    Kimbo's little more than a street thug with a bit of training. Entertaining whilst fighting at the level he's at, but in no way comparable to a former top level professional prizefighter.

    Ron never got his arse laid out by some jab from a guy grabbing a fence with died pink hair.

    :lol: Harsh,but so ****ing true.Kimbo has the stamina of two very elderly people ****ing ... completely tired after a round of throwing ... maybe 30 punches? ... he has a furious beard that's for sure,but it's hiding a suspect chin.I'm convinced if he'd not of landed that Liver shot when he had,he'd have been knocked out or stopped in the next round.

    Is this based on the fighting style of both guys....or the muscles? Build is the ONLY thing they have which allows actual comparison.
