Sonny Liston vs. Ron Lyle

Lyle dropped Foreman twice and survived Shavers' power. How would he do against Liston?

 

Liston's chin would be the deciding factor here, plus the fact that he needed less room for his punches. Liston by KO

 

Liston KO 3

A better matchup would be:

Broadway Joe vs the Mythical Matchups Forum!

My prediction is Broadway by KO through matchup spam attrition.

 

Liston dominates Lyle with the jab before stopping him late.

 

Wow. Was that NOT funny or what?

And how exactly is adding legit matchups to the forum "spam"?

Do you have a response that pertains to the topic or will you be subjecting everyone to another example of your "wit"??

 

Calm down. I'm just playing old man. I made a pick.

 

My bad. I missed your actual pick...although it was nearly lost in your attempt at stand up. ::

 

Lyle would take Liston's power early and provide action - he was awkward and he himself packed a wallop...

And would not be afraid to come forward, inside, where Liston would be smothered and not as powerful.

But eventually, you have to like Liston's ramrod jab, ring control and power to make a difference...even late when both men struggle with stamina but Liston remains tighter.

Liston TKO 9.

Peace.
