Ron Lyle(1941-2011)

He fought George Foreman in January 1976 in Las Vegas, Nevada. During that match, he caught Foreman with a left-right combination that knocked him down in the fourth round. Then Foreman floored him with a right hand and knocked him down before he came fighting back in the fourth round. In the next round, Foreman battered him into a corner with repeated left hand blows mostly and he fell forward and was counted out.

[on fighting Jerry Quarry in 1973] I've been as far down as a man can go. To me, Jerry Quarry is just another obstacle. I'll go through him or over him.
