    RIP Ron. He should be admired and respected for the way he turned his life around through boxing. Of course he also gave boxing a ton of excitement.

    This is a shame. Ron Lyle was an underrated heavyweight who could box and punch. He had tremendous heart and as others have said reformed himself from his stent in prison. He was a warrior and an inspiration for a lot of boxers. When we watch those old fights from the 70's we don't want to believe that these warriors are getting older, at least I don't. R.I.P. Mr. Lyle.

    Dang that is sad. Ron Lyle was one hell of a fighter in and outside the ring. He almost died in prison when he was stabbed. George Foreman said Lyle hit him so hard it didn't hurt it just rocked the hell out of his equilibrium.

    When he fought Muhammad Ali... it paved the way for his name to forever be carved in people's memory... particularly, people from my generation.

    Heck, I can even recollect where I was at that time when I saw this fight... It was such a huge event, as every Ali fight was "in my neck of the woods" at the time then. It was even made more eventful when Ron Lyle gave the champ all he can handle in the first ten rounds, leading all scorecards onto the next!

    Oh, well! The eleventh round saw a blistering dominance by Ali. It was so thorough that at some point in the round, a compassionate champion Ali looked over to the ref to mercifully put an end to the fight. After battering Lyle unconscious but bafflingly still on two legs, he did not have the stomach to cause further harm to the man.

    Muhammad Ali, the " Greatest" sure did have his hands full that night, he was lucky to come away with the win, as he was badly outclassed that night by this Ohioan power-puncher from Dayton, Ron Lyle!

    R.I.P Mr. Lyle

    A real shame, now two great heavyweights to have passed in recent weeks.

    He was obviously before my time, but I've done my best to watch many fights of the old greats, he held his own against both Ali and Foreman, something not many in the planet could ever have done.

    The Foreman fight is a classic.

    Didnt realise you'd posted this. This was the fight I was on about.

    This was a great fight, two guys who could really bang.

    I knew very little about him until I heard these tributes about the man. RIP and what a warrior!

    R.I.P. Ron Lyle. If anyone is a boxing fan you have to watch his fight with George Foreman.
