max baer vs ron lyle....

Seriously?

 

Louis power looks spectacular on the footage and as far as I know, he used equipment that didn't give him substantial edge in punching power.

 

True, but you must look at what stage of his career that happened. You mentioned Lynn Ball, but that fight happened late in Lyle's career, when he was old/close to 40.

 

It doesn't look as spectacular as Foreman's.

 

He hit Baer with more cleaner punches than Foreman hit Lyle. Even if Foreman has the edge in raw power (it's debatable, but fair assumption), this edge isn't big enough to overcome more crispier shots than Louis threw at Baer.

I also think that Baer took Louis punches better than Lyle did against Foreman (though he fared far worse overall).

 

he means cause louis punches looked good which they did they was smooth and fast
George punches was always slow and sloopy

 

My impression of Lyle, is that he could give the best fighters in the world hell, but he also had it in him to lose to some fighters who were not the best or brightest.
