Exciting fight for sure. Look at Holyfield’s fight with placeholder Cooper. There will only be one winner but both men make a fight of it. Tickets would sell fast.
Holyfield might have to take a knee at some point, but he's just too much for Lyle. Holyfield would have him useless around the 10th round.
Well if look at counter punching quarry look how he did / and then look at a much better counter puncher with combinations with a great chin Holyfield !!! Holyfield knocks out Ron Lyle in 8 rds !!!!
I think he'd be on his feet. I only mention Holy possibly going down because Lyle probably had about Bowe-level power. He was a punishing puncher, a "real" heavyweight, and Holy in warrior mode got hit.
Evander’s challange is that sometimes he fought down to the level of his competition … Bert cooper, Alex Stewart come to mind … Lyle could definitely box w him and stun him but of course you have to gone Evander.
Holyfield would be the clear favorite and thus would fight down to the level of his competition. Every time. Holyfield KO 11 Lyle
