George Foreman vs Ron Lyle - is this the most dramatic 12 round heavyweight fight of all time?

    To those who say Ibeabuchi vs Tua lacked drama because they were too evenly matched, what about Foreman vs Lyle? The number of knockdowns and wobbles suggests they were evenly matched. As Foreman put it, he won because Lyle exhausted himself, so maybe the difference was just fitness. Anyway, for those who want to watch the fight online for free, here it is on my Daily Motion channel:

    Foreman vs Lyle was the most entertaining fight I ever saw.

    Those are two tough hombres.

    Howard Cosell was a pretty average caller but nobody could have called that fight better.
