    Gun to my head, i would like to pick Lyle, maybe because he has an advantage that lies in that he faced better competition.

    What about you guys, how would Ron fare against Foster??

    An entertaining slug fest but Lyle was just better.

    Lyle was more proven but this is a good fight. And Foster might have a punchers chance

    They were supposed to fite in 1972 at Denver, Mac pulled out due to an injury the doctor did not see eye to eye with, and I believe he was Fined!
    Ron Lyle 10 round unanimous decision

    I think Ron would win a decision, but Mac could win, a slight chance, but he could do it.

    Lyle is what Mac could have been. One had youth and amateur career on his side, the other the heart to actually take what he desired.
