Would Ron Lyle Put Tua Into His Shell??

Both are overrated, but to me this is the comparable level. Tua would win this IMO and quite likely stop Lyle during the 2nd half of the fight

 

Since you have chosen pre prime version of Tua, so I have to pick Lyle.

Prime for prime, I still lean slightly towards Lyle.

 

Tua was neater and more skilled, Ali was suffering from parkinson`s and still managed to stop an inept Lyle.

 

So inept that he was ahead at the time of the stoppage. Knocked Shavers out in his next fight and gave Foreman hell in the fight after that.

 

Yes and he would have beaten Tua too.

 

Regardless of who wins, Tua would be well behind the majority of the fight as usual. If Rahman can solidly outbox Tua for 9 rounds then Lyle, who was better, would make it an entire fight.Tua totally has a punchers chance but I never bet on a punchers chance. I'd favor Tua to get outboxed or maybe outfought over 12.

 

Lyles stamina and chin will be his downfall here.

 

Tua

 

Yeah? so in your expert medical opinion, antman what fight was the first that Ali was suffering from parkinson? The first fight against Frazier? the Foreman fight? Gimme your best detailed expert medical opinion on it,antman?

 

Tua wins this in my opinion. Tua's problem is with fast elusive fighters and not with guys that come to him.

 

I'll take Lyle. Not only do I think hes better and tougher Tua never wins the big one.

 

To be fair, Lyle never did either and he had a lot more opportunities.

 

Your right I wont argue that. I do think Lyle is better though. Tua when he cant get to people just seems content to follow then around eating jabs. Completely overrated IMO

 

Yes he's very overrated imo. I've seen people argue he'd beat Tyson, Frazier, Foreman, etc even though his best win is over a faded Michael Moorer who'd only recently come out of retirement, and when he actually faced someone on the level of the aforementioned men, he was ineffectual, and lost by Lopsided decision.
