Tyson. You think formeans power gave him problems imagine Mikes speed an power combo against Lyle. That with Mikes underrated defense an upperbody movement post prison. Tyson takes him out early
Lyle wouldn't be scared of Tyson, kinda like Holyfield wasn't either. Those fighters scared of Tyson lost badly. Those not afraid, beat him,or hung in there. (Holyfield, Lewis, Douglas, Tillis) Lyle by TKO in 6 rds.
You should go sit somewhere an watch fights. You just said Ron Lyle would take tyson out. An the dickhead of the year award goes to Longhorn. please stop
That didn't take long. The Ron Lyle Express never stops, baby! After beating Quarry cuz he wasn't primez when they really fought, Lyle KOs Patterson, Frazier, Tyson, rematches Foreman and destroy him, stops Ali cuz he wasn't at his true best when they fought, than he beats up Joe Louis for the ultimate prize. Only fighter in history that can stop Lyle is Golota. Truth, fact.
I like pre-prison Tyson's chances against any heavyweight in history not named Liston or Foreman. Relatively quick KO. Post, probably a lot more competitive considering he stopped throwing combos, stood flat by the middle of the first round and had declined in hand speed.
I wouldn't argue passionately either way, they're both among my top three favorite heavyweights of all-time. :bbb Although, in the event of any dream matchup it has to be asked whether D'Amato is present and further, if he allows Tyson in the ring with him. Sonny was just as much a freakish specimen as Mike was. Ridicu-sick fists, reach, strength, killer instinct. And that Jab... the thing I love about Sonny is that he could have those type of physical features without being a supertall, or lanky. Barely 6'1", stocky, powerful.
