Another fighter from the Golden Age (the 1970's) of heavyweight boxing is gone. Bonavena, Jimmy Young, Quarry, Frazier & now Lyle.
Jimmy Ellis is in bad shape, Ali is in bad shape. Ken Norton is ****** up bad.
Even though we all have to die sometime, it's always sad when one of the fighters we've read about, watched & talked about for so long passes. It's another chunk gone from a really fun era.
May the Lord bring some comfort to his family and friends.
I can scarcely believe this. Ron Lyle was arguably in the best physical shape of all the greats from that era in recent times. I read his biography last year and he was apparently still able to do a shed-load of pressups and worked out daily.
This stomach condition must have been very sudden and relentless.
Terrible news, he was a great fighter from a great era.....

I just read that Lyle was training fighters at a gym on Friday, then died suddenly on Saturday.
