    This is true.

    The Ali defeat was a blatant robbery. It was a CHAMPEEEEEENSHIP FIGHT FOR CHRISSAKES !

    with you on that one - afterall Califronia had Arnie - why can't we have Ron?? Plus Ron Lyle would beat the living bejeesusses out of Arnie if Britain ever came to blows with old Cali-forn-i-a

    I think Joe Bugner rated Ron Lyle as his toughest opponent.
    That confirms my suspicion that Lyle was a top 3 HW ATG !

    Bugner fought such greats as Earnie Shavers and Frank Bruno and Super Greg Page.

    I think you are all forgetting the greatest HW in history..... MARVIN HART..... He'd even beat the great Bob Mirovic.

    Just a few more. I think people are starting to realise how underrated he's been up to now.

    Gregluland : you forgot to mention Kali Meehan !
