What heavyweight champions would you favor Ron Lyle to beat

How are you supposed to get his answer if you put him on ignore, jackass?? atsch:roll:

 

As almost every current HW era, this era is under-rated talent-wise, especially by Yanks, who seem to have a chip on their collective shoulder about being such crappy big fighters.

Secondly, Wlad never got KO'd by Corey Sanders. I don't even think he fought him.

Which is worse between the Foreman and Tyson losses? They are both losses. Both fighters in a given fight have to deal with the same heat. If one can't hack it, too bad, he's not as good a fighter that night.

Uh, when did Cooper and Ali fight? This is pure horse****. I know to ignore your posts.

 

Listen little ******....I dont know why I respond to your rediculas posts for one. the Question you asked was who would I favor Lyle to beat for the title....Lyle was not championship quality...Now I will Ignore you... Now,go out and play with the other kids

 

Probably Weaver, Douglass, Smith, Spinks, and possibly Tate,Tubbs, and Page.

 

Amen BD!!!:deal

 

why you limiting it to fighters after 1960? is it because you think old time guys would be at a mismatch aganst Lyle...because if you think that..your a fool.

 

for your question...bruce seldon...frank bruno would be his best shot.

 

I don't think he's on drugs.

Foreman did not take the same kind of sustained punishment that Tyson took from Douglas. Tyson was getting hit with everything but the kitchen sink. Actually come to think of it Douglas may have included a kitchen sink in the 9th round. The point it Tyson took the beating until he was physically not able to continue.

As for Foreman he simply quit against Ali. He beat the count but he didn't want any part of Muhammad so he walked off to his corner. He was mentally unable to continue. Against Jimmy Young? Well if he suffered from a heat stroke that's one thing, but it's not as if Young had an A/C in his corner.

Joe Louis getting hurt by Billy Conn is equally bad.
Wlad Klitschko getting Ko'd by subpar fighters is even worse but it doesn't take away what happened with George Foreman.

Every fighter has their ups and downs.

 

Douglas in top form beats Lyle.
Weaver is 50/50.
Smith is 50/50.
Tubbs would box his ears off.
Tate I favor Lyle.
I think Lyle could have beaten Greg Page.

 

dude he may or may not have beaten the count.....but he got waved off by the ref...he didnt just walk to his corner.

 

Berbick, Bonecrusher, Tucker & Spinks are bums?
That's news to me, you pathetic moron.

Since when did finding & picking up your mouthpiece from the canvas, then being standing ready to continue in nine seconds consitute "being knocked out clean" ?

 

I think Lyle does beat the post Inoki Ali, boxing the way he did in their 1975 showdown. After Inoki, Muhammad never showed that he could have come back from a deficit like that with a fight saving stoppage. In 1975, Ali was still extremely dangerous when he loaded up. I believe Inoki took away his ability to use his legs to generate power.

 

Of your list, Leon is the only one I'd expect him top beat. And I'm not even confident that he'd beat Leon.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

Now that is really amusing !:hey

Especially coming from you.


I expect that's the last we'll see of 2Sense, now that you've put him on ignore.

 

Lyle was a bit better than some here are giving him credit for.

It's easy to discredit a fighter's record by saying he beat "bums, journeyman and has-beens", but it needs to be taken in context. I mean, most of the contenders and minor champions are built up that way, and even several of the greats have records like that.

So, since no one's saying he's got a stellar ATG resume, I dont see how it's relevant that his top wins aren't amazing. As someone pointed out, Vitali Klitschko had a weak resume too.

I think Lyle would be at least 50-50 or outright favoured over the likes of Rahman, Moorer, McCall, Tucker, Page, Leon & Mike Spinks, Douglas, Thomas, Weaver, Tate, Tubbs, Coetzee, Bruno, and Bruce Seldon of course.

I'd favour the following guys to beat him, but he'd be bound to pull an upset among them :
He'd have a good chance against the Klitschkos, he'd certainly have a go, and against Lennox Lewis. And Bowe.
He'd very possibly give Larry Holmes a very hard fight, and might upset both Holyfield and Tyson.

Lyle was a good contender.

BTW, can someone elaborate on how "shot" Bonavena was when Lyle beat him ?
