    I mean any heavyweight champion since Liston till today. I would favor him over guys like Buster Douglas, John Ruiz, Ken Norton, Leon Spinks, Wlad or Vitali, Klitschko, Well actually most of the bums Tyson won the belts from early in his career I would favor a prime Ron Lyle to beat.

    I think all white champions beat all black champions because you are a rascist, **** sucking, scouse, bum licking, fairy touching, old granny watching, gay loving Knobhead

    Junior you have to think Lyle would beat Norton because Norton cant take a big punch and any person with a big punch could beat him. Well at according to most people here Norton couldnt beat any top punchers.

    Lyle wasn't that good. I don't see him beating Ruiz or the version of Douglas that won the title. He would be killed by either Klitchsko. I mean, who were his best pelts? A shot Bonavena, a blubbery Mathis, a rite of passage KO over Shavers or the retreating Bugner? He was a decent sized dude for his day with crude technique and fairly average power.

    I've always said the same thing. Most of his "reputation" today comes from his performance in fights he lost (Foreman, Ali). The only live contender he actually beat was Shavers. Other than that it was mostly has-beens, alternating with embarrassing upset losses to Quarry(who was himself thought to be a has-been) and Young.

    Klitschko would treat him like they treated Brock,Peter,Hide,Brewster,Gomez,Thompson,Ibragimov,Chagaev,Austin,McCline,Etc...Lyle would not last long against them......he may have a chance against Ruiz an older Sharkey and Moorer and Seldon....but a chance not a lock

    My2sense you said Lyle only had average power? Cute, yet his average power had Foreman on the canvas 2 times in one round. Which Klitschko are you talking about? The one who got knocked out by Puritty, Sanders and Brewster or the one who quit because his arm was injured?

    Who did Vitali beat? Danny Williams, Sam " Huge Tits" Peter, a washed up Rahman, wait I know he beat that blown up nobody cruiserweight Juan Carlos Gomez. Yeah i guess you are right, Vitali beat great hall of fame fighters and since Ron Lyle lost to all time greats that must mean he is a nobody. Gerat points My2sense. Well actually they arent good point.

    Neither Klitscho could handle pressure, Ruiz whole game plan is to dry hump his man to death. Douglas was a nobody who is known for being the woman beater Tyson. Trevor Berbick could barely beat a washed up Muhummad Ali. You could name other heavyweight champions that Lyle could beat too.

    Oops I mean Seamus not My2sense about Lyles power. If Lyles power is average then Wlad doesnt have power period. Knocking down Foreman and losing is more than Wlad did even in his wins.

    Jimmy Young was notoriously light-hitting, and he had Foreman down too.

    Ali knocked him out - how hard would you say he hit?

    I think Lyle would of beat Rahman, Douglas, Bruno, Berbick, Herbie Hide, Ruiz, Ellis, Morrision, and Leon Spinks. And proably a few more.
