Ron Lyle in previous eras

[BKM-]

How do you see him doing against Max Baer

Have you ever watched Max against Carnera? He looked more like a circus clown swinging bowling balls at a man, than a boxer capable of defeating Ron Lyle.

Lyle did phenomenal considering he got into the boxing game at a late age. He was 30 when he turned pro and that's late when you consider most fighters are done by 40. Furthermore, there was really no time to bring him along. He had to be pushed into the deep end and fight much more experienced men. Had he turned pro at 20, he could have been brought up slowly. So to reach the level of a top rated contender in one of the best heavyweight eras ever was quite an accomplishment. But, which heavyweight era would Lyle do best in and likely become champion?

How would Lyle do among Carnera, Sharkey, Schmeling and Max Baer?

Could he have taken Tunney or a 1927 Jack Dempsey?

How would he do against Walcott, Charles, Marciano and the 1945-1955 HW scene?

Could he have beaten Patterson in the late 50s, early 60s or Johannson?

I hah no idea he turned pro that late. Amazing for sure..

Wherever men stand and slug until one falls, Lyle would give a respectable account of himself.

I like this saying

Well he did beat the other Max, Schmeling. Who was a very capable boxer.

Lol could Ron Lyle beat Tunney and Dempsey two 170 to 190 pound fighters? Not only were they not heavyweights by modern standards they weren't skilled by modern standards. Lyle would destroy them. Lyle would destroy Walcott, Charles, and Marciano for the same reasons.
