Foreman vs Lyle revisited. What an EPIC war!!

[andrewa1]

Lyle would have a good champion in this era. Too many top HW when he was around.

Total moron. Lyle wouldn't even be top 30 in this era. Deal with progress, it happens in all sports. I know its hard for metal midgets, but seriously, just deal with it.

I could actually see lyle beating anyone outside of the klits. he had his flaws but hed beat or at least be comptetiive with todays top crop

so much progress that a guy who lost the heavyweight title in 1974 could manage to win it again in 1994 as a fat 45 year old

Ah yes, Lyle wouldn't be close to the top 10 that consists of the likes of Chris Arreola, Adamek, Chagaev and co.

And imagine that Foreman wouldn't be able to handle the progression of today's era

When you put it that way, **** boxing right now.

fewer people box today than in past eras. virtually all of the talented american men of HW size are playing basketball or football. in the 70's, they boxed.

HW boxing has certainly declined in quality. if you can't see the difference between a top 10 contender in the 70's [ron lyle, for example,] and a fat plodder, then that is on you
