    OK, on the premise that we are looking at fighters who might not be 'usual suspects' for beating Lyle?

    Razor Ruddock, Tommy Morrison, Frank Bruno likely all stop him. Mike Grant would be an entertaining war, whoever lands first? Ray Mercer might look like the Morrison fight, Ray sparking him. AJ and Dubois both beat him for me. Chisora and Whyte have entertaining wars with him, winning, or losing, trilogy battles

    Tyson, Mike that is, takes him out in less than 2 rounds imo.

    If we talk about brawling, not too much people but if we are talking about outboxing/ counter punching, many good boxers can beat him.

    Can not be easily be outpunched but he can be easily outboxed by good outboxer or counterpuncher.

    Some people seem to be under the impression that Lyle should’ve “walked through” Young’s punches… when did anyone walk through anyone’s punches? - I don’t understand that one, never have, if you have your chin knocked on with a right while you walk forwards, even if you outweigh them by 40lbs you will know about it, nobody not LaMotta or Chuvalo just strolled through punches and went to work.
