Ron Lyle vs Max Baer

Love this fight. I’ll edge it to Max for his stamina and better chin.

 

Max is the better more proven fighter.

Ron has the stylistic advantage.

Nothing wrong with either mans power!

If this was happening tomorrow:

A. You would stay up till four on the morning to see it, even if you had an early shift the next day.
B. You would not be very confident of the outcome either way.
C. You would probably end up picking Baer as a default.

 

Great match up lean towards Lyle

 

Baer would stop Ron

 

Lyle looks like Ezzard Charles next to Baer.

 

I am confident that the version of Lyle that almost beat Ali would box Baers ears off.

 

I got Lyle

 

Lyle, and quite easy.

 

Lyle mops the floor with Baer.

 

Who did Lyle "mop the floor with" that was even close to Baer in terms of power, durability, size and overall package?

 

That would be the triumph of hope over experience.

 

Nope, it would be the triumph of a better boxer over an inferior opponent.

 

Lyle went toe to toe with Foreman and almost KOd him. Baer is a nobody compared to Foreman.
