I can just see Lyle behind on the cards ,suddenly producing a blasting right hand from no where .Its hard enough to put Peter's down for 8 but somehow get s up .He's never in the fight again and goes on to lose a lopsided decision .
It would be fan's fight. Peter had good skills, and showed them by beating James Toney twice. Meanwhile Lyle snuggles vs Boxers like Jimmy Young, and Quarry. Lyle has a better offense, but his chin wasn't very good and his defense average. I think they are close in power. A 50/50 type of match up, assuming Peter is in shape.
