[mrcjrowe]

R.I.P Ron Lyle

[208stroker1]

He is the Greatest of ALLLL TIME.!

[combatesdeboxeo]

HOWARD COSSELL " WHY DO YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD BEAT ALI , IF YOU LOST AGAINST QUARRY AND JIMMY YOUNG"?

MR COSSEL MY ANSWER IS , GEORGE FOREMAN KILLED NORTON AND FRAZIER, AND THESE GUYS DID BEAT ALI, BUT ALI DID BEAT FOREMAN? EVERY FIGHT IS DIFFERENT

[zimbreator]

@combatesdeboxeo Aquí se nota que Cossel y Ali eran amigos íntimos. Cossel siempre dejaba quedar mejor a Ali cuando se entrevistaba con otro. El pobre Lyle no sabía donde meterse...

[combatesdeboxeo]

@zimbreator hola amigo, si si tengo facing ali y en español, y tienes toda la razón cosell era un borrego siempre iba a favor de ali, aun recuerdo cuando ridiculizaba a frazier diciendo " el titul de frazier es un chiste, el campeón es cassius clay quien se lo quitó a el campeón sonny liston, y mientras joe frazier no pelee con clay frazier no es campeón de nada", NO LE QUITO RAZÓN PERO LO DECÍA DE FORMA CHULEZCA,, AUNQUE YO PIENSO QUE NADIE VENCERÍA A ALI 64-67,

[zimbreator]

@combatesdeboxeo Por cierto has visto el documental "Facing Ali"? está muy bien y entrevistan todos los grandes pesos pesados de los 70

It was funny when Ali hit Howard Cosell! Lol!

[makpak]

RIP my man

[LadySpy120]

@makpak Ali is not dead

[makpak]

@LadySpy120 yea i know. my comment was aimed at Ron lyle. He died a few weeks back.

[LadySpy120]

@makpak oh i didn't know that. that's sad. he was younger than Ali wasn't he ?

[combatesdeboxeo]

@LadySpy120 NO,ACTUALLY LYLE WAS 1 YEAR OLDER THAN ALI

[LadySpy120]

@combatesdeboxeo wow he just seems younger

[bodyshotkid]

Much respect to Ron Lyle. His knockdown dragout war with George Foreman is legendary! My jaw dropped when I first saw it! You'd never get a heavyweight fight like that today. True boxing fans will never forget how fighters like Ron Lyle gave their all in the ring and left us with great memories of a golden era in boxing.

[zgomer1]

Ron...thanks for the great ride...RIP.

[ChampCarforlife]

Ron Lyle was one hell of a fighter back in the 70's.

[Ladysensei]

RIP Ron Lyle ~ You fought the good Fight!

[mrjoshjones1]

Ron had no fear of Ali or anyone else.

God is cruel to big fighters, slow footed in many fights, with tremendous

heart & power in the right.

Lyle mastered in-fighting and had the advantage of working with two great

trainers, Chickie Ferrara and Eddie Futch.

Nothing but admiration for a fighter who made the 70's (along with Shavers,

Quarry & Young) the true GOLDEN AGE of HEAVYWEIGHTS.

[AbuAmanah]

To judge Tyson, you must look at his opponents: Bruno? Douglas? Mercedes? Spain? Johnson? Nelson? Tilman? Mathis? Donovan?? Francis? Danny Williams, McBride? Jaco? Buster Douglas?

Great boxer? Of? course! But who did he really fought n win?

But greats like Joe Frazer! George Foreman! Ken Norton! Ernie Shavers! Sony Liston! Patterson! Ron Lyle! Chuvalo, (US Army too ) were real beasts tamed by ONE man named Muhammad Ali!

One who beats up? cuddly teddy bears like Bruno is almost a crime.

[examinfo]

I love Ali; but Lyle was robbed in that fight.

[xxdonaldqxxx]

One of the few that lost to Jerry Quarry? The following fighters lost to Quarry Shavers,Mathis,Patterson,Lyle,­Spencer,London and Middleton. All of those men were rated in the top ten and one was a former champion. Quarry fought Ellis with a broken back and lost a split decision. Quarry was beating the daylights out of Chuvalo when George landed a hay maker and Jerry screwed up the count .People like Cossell always acted as if Quarry was a bum.Jerry was a hell of a fighter.who never got respect.

[uncjim]

@xxdonaldqxxx AMEN Brother. Jerry had very fast hands/combinations and could take it like few could. At a different time, he likely would have been a champion.

[dempsey981]

@xxdonaldqxxx YEAAAAA..Quarry was awesome,had it all,but tad small.had lots of guts but too many cuts.love quarrys fights

[LedWhisky69]

"Are you afraid of other sportscasters?" LOL! That was some surprising wit displayed by Lyle.

[truebeliever786]

I love Ron Lyle. He's a real legend. He knew how great Ali was and it was a dream come true for him, just to be in the same ring as him.

[jeryd2003]

ali " if i had a lower iq i could enjoy this interview" he never fails to entertain haha

[bomayeah]

Ali is a fightr to the finish

[tralfazruk1]

Ali allowing himself to be pummelled on his head when he trained so he could be used to fighting hurt or so he thought was why he got parkinsons.Not when he retired.He may have been able to fight much longer.

[Platinummxi]

Lol. what a great fighter Ali was. Still whooping the likes of monsters like Lyle, Foreman and Shavers, etc, when he is YEARS past his prime. LEGEND! Would be MOST interesting if a young upcoming Liston was around at this time!! CARNAGE!

[BruceinFalkirk]

Lyle is an articulate man and puts his case well here.

[Wutangspam]

Ali heavly slurring his speech here :-(

[BruceinFalkirk]

@Wutangspam

You're right.

[kentaappel]

I don't know why Cosell put down Lyle for losing to Jerry Quarry as Quarry was an excellent figther who beat a lot of people and besides that loss was three years before his shot at Ali. A lot of good fighters lose a fight to more experienced fighters on the way up so I think Cosell took a cheap shot at Lyle in this interview.

[kjetin99]

@kentaappel That was very low by Cosell! Lyle gave him a very good answer though!

[XavierMarciano]

What a special man he was and still is, a lot of people today say boxing is dying, when ali does pass beyond this life, is when boxing will be dead.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

That very same year he fought Lyle, he should have hung up the gloves for good after his last fight, which of course took place the same year and was held in Manila. Too bad he hung around too long.

[nae8man87]

@ihatelifejosemartine only a dumb cunt would question a LEGENDS decision...too bad your still hear hanging around, since u hate life, why dont u leave earth then, lol

[ichirima]

He is 34 years old ya know
