Ron Lyle (Very informative long article). Save link to read later (covers many of his fights & life) http://www.boxing.com/wild_west_hero_ron_lyle.html Example: "Years later, Lyle looked back on the Shavers' brawl in typically candid and understated fashion and said: “I got dropped in the second round with a nice shot and after that, I was just trying to get my bearings back. Earnie Shavers was a helluva puncher, man. That’s the hardest I had ever been hit. I think a lot of people just thought Earnie hit hard, but he was a very sharp puncher. He didn’t just hit hard; it was precise and sharp. “He threw a lot of very sharp punches. He wasn’t a puncher like Foreman to where he threw one bang. It wasn’t none of that. Earnie Shavers’ punches were very sharp and crisp and he threw a lot of them. After he dropped me, I just had to listen to what Bobby (trainer Bobby Lewis) was telling me. Bobby told me from the beginning that Earnie Shavers was a hard puncher when he was in close, so when you were in close to him, you had to keep your hands up. I was an inside fighter too"
