    Would Lyle have what it took to best the best of Wlad Klitchsko?

    Late round ko coming from Klitc .But Lyle wobbles him alarmingly at the Start. Its a wear him down sort of win for wlad .

    I think Lyle weathers the rough early storm and blitzes Wlad mid rounds just like Lamon Brewster did. Wlad has NEVER dealt well with return fire. He would get some from Lyle.

    Lyle could crack and wasn't a bad boxer, either. He'd certainly be one of Wlad's best opponents, if not arguably the best.

    Lyle would get manhandled for the most part of 10 rounds and eventually finished off, even though if Wlad threw caution to the wind he could have got him out there in half the time

    Lyle could hit hes a top foe for Klit but I feel Klit would wear him jabbing for a late KO

    I heard somewhere that Wlad could hit pretty hard, too. In fact, really, really hard.

    And not only could he hit hard but that opponents were actually hit hard by him. He wasn't just a show pony.

    Lyle would be dangerous early, as long as klitschko boxes him he should be ok and get him out of there in 7-8 rounds. Wlad's right hand was a sledgehammer and his jab and left hook weren't very far behind.

    Maybe Lyle has a punchers chance, but Wlad wins comfortably.

    I'd say that Lyle had the better chin

    This. Lyle was better than Peter, who in his prime put Wlad on his back several times and more dedicated than Brewster was was incredibly talented, but even by his own admission lazy.

    Lyle definitely has a shot here. Wlad has a glass chin.

    Well they were both stopped 4 times, is it really that wide of a disparity?
