Ron How He Looks Today With His Son Brett. ------------------------- QUESTION TWELVE: Who do you rate as the greatest fighters pound for pound of all time? ANSWER: Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Joe Louis, Ali, Archie Moore - (most KO’s),Willie Pep - (most wins), Jimmy Wilde, Ike Williams, Roberto Duran, Harry Greb, Mickey Walker. ------------------------- QUESTION THIRTEEN: Who would have beaten who on their best nights in the following dream matches? ANSWER: Ali Vs Tyson - Ali 7 days a week and twice on Sunday. Marciano Vs Holyfield - On any given night Marciano by TKO or Holyfield TKO on cuts. Pick em. Foreman Vs Tyson - Mike's hand speed, power and determination too much for Foreman. If Lyle puts him down, Mike keeps him there. Ali Vs Lewis - Ali would win with hand speed, leg movement and combination punching - No one counts 10 over a tiptop shape Muhammad Ali. Louis Vs Dempsey - Louis rips him to pieces with perhaps suffering a knockdown along the way. Louis Vs Holyfield - I would go with Louis but Holyfield had the goods to upset Joe, a la Billy Conn but with more power and conditioning. Louis devastating in a rematch though. Tyson Vs Shavers - Mike stops Earnie like Ron Lyle did, but gets up off the deck to do so. Remember Jimmy Ellis had Earnie in dire straits before the uppercut KO. -------------------------
Ron In A Recent Picture With His Fiancee. ------------------------- QUESTION FOURTEEN: Who is the best heavyweight in the world today? and secondly, who will take over as the next dominant heavyweight? ANSWER: Lennox Lewis hands down. Next dominant heavyweight is Wladimar Klitchko. ------------------------- QUESTION FIFTEEN: Can you list your all time top 10 heavyweights? ANSWER: I will answer this as to who would beat who. Not based on record, legends, rose tinted glasses, or sentiment, but simply who would win the fights, not who is the nicest guy, who isn’t a thug, who was old and did not do well etc. In their prime on their best night, when each was at his most dangerous, these men would beat the others.
