Could Sharkey beat the 70 s contender, at his best? Sharkey who almost beat Dempsey here verse Lyle, who almost beat Foreman? 15 rounds.
Bump. I’d guess most would pick Sharkey, but personally I don’t know, Sharkey had this habit off pulling back with his hands down with his chin exposed, leaving himself no more room to manoeuvre, he could get his clock cleaned by a Lyle right hand if he does that.
Yes he could be erratic for sure. I can see him beating Lyle then suddenly getting clocked. But I must admit I like Jack Sharkey as a fighter and a character.
Yes. Lyle was powerful and determined, but too one dimensional. I see Sharkey giving him a boxing lesson like Quarry and Young did.
