    Smith was the kind of fighter Baer could lose to or beat depending on which Baer showed up. Prime Baer KO's him, anything less and Smith could very possibly win a decision. I place Smith higher than Lyle all time, but H2H I'd probably pick Lyle. Good skills, size, and I think he has the power to KO Smith and the chin to stand up to most of what Smith would throw at him.
