George Foreman and Earnie Shavers both named the same man as the hardest hitting heavyweight

Published

George Foreman and Earnie Shavers are hailed as some of the biggest punchers in boxing history, but the heavyweight duo returned the same answer when they revealed who hit them the hardest during their professional careers.

Foreman and Shavers boasted a combined 138 stoppages by the time they both hung up the gloves, with both men remembered as some of the heavyweight division’s most devastating knockout artists before their respective passings. 

However, when discussing who returned the favour and hit him the hardest, Shavers named Ron Lyle, who knocked him out in 1975, as the hardest punching opponent of his career, in a clip that has been doing the rounds on social media.

“A guy by the name of Ron Lyle from Denver, Colorado. Lyle was a great puncher, yeah.”

Meanwhile, in an interview with Oxford Union, ‘Big George’ recalled his fabled five-round slugfest against Lyle, just four months on from the latter’s scrap with Shavers.

“Ron Lyle [hit me the hardest] and he hit me so hard that it didn’t even hurt. His distinction was that he was a convicted criminal, he had served in Colorado Penitentiary and boy was he muscular. 

“When I got into the ring, no one, beyond Sonny Liston, ever stood up to me. Everybody would have to run, hide and cover-up. No one stood up to me, but Ron Lyle decided ‘I ain’t running!’.” 

“He hit me so hard that it didn’t even hurt. There I was on the canvas, thinking ‘what excuse are you going have now?’. [When you lost to] Muhammad Ali you said the ropes were loose, someone drugged you, I had all of these excuses, so I was laying on the floor thinking ‘I can’t think of an excuse,’ I had to get up.

“When I got up, he knocked me down again, he knocked my teeth through my bottom lip.”

“He beat me so bad that he fainted and I won the fight.”

Lyle lost out to Muhammad Ali in the solitary world title challenge of his career, retiring with a record of 43-7-1 (31 KOs), following a brief four-fight comeback in 1995, which ended a 15-year run of inactivity.

Lamine Yamal’s father reveals why he didn’t travel to the USA to support son at the FIFA World Cup

Lamine Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, recently revealed why he didn’t travel to the USA to support his son at the FIFA World Cup. Yamal made his World Cup debut for Spain this time and is set to play the final on July 19.

Despite not scoring more than once, Lamine Yamal has been one of Spain‘s standout stars in this World Cup. The Barcelona prodigy, who just turned 19, scored his first goal in the tournament against Saudi Arabia in the group stages and has started all of La Roja’s games except their debut 0-0 draw against Cabo Verde. Yamal started his World Cup campaign fresh off a hamstring injury, but is expected to play a major role in the final on Sunday.

Speaking to reporters ahead of Spain’s clash against Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final, Lamine Yamal’s father explained why he was unable to travel to the USA to support his son. He said (via Mercato Blaugrana):

“I’m an epileptic. I have to take a lot of medication every day, and I can have an epilepsy seizure. I could be here, right now, under the effects of stress or emotion, and have a seizure without realizing it. So you always have to think things through carefully. Before traveling, you have to think about me, about him, and about all the people around us, you know? I might end up causing problems. So it’s better to stay home and watch all this from here.”

Throughout the FIFA World Cup, Yamal’s mother, Sheila Ebana, and his half-brother, Keyne, have been spotted cheering for the youngster. His girlfriend, Inees Garcia, has also been spotted in all of Spain’s games, sporting Yamal’s shirt. Meanwhile, Yamal’s father has been vocal about his son’s performances on social media despite being absent from the stadiums.

After Spain’s 2-0 win over France in the FIFA World Cup semi-final, Lamine Yamal told DAZN that he would like to face Lionel Messi and Argentina in the final. The Barcelona superstar’s wish has been granted, as Messi’s side beat England 2-1 to make it to the final on Wednesday. Yamal said (via Fabrizio Romano):

“Facing Leo Messi in a World Cup final would be fantastic. I hope so.”

Messi’s Argentina was supposed to face Yamal’s Spain in the 2026 Finalissima earlier this year in March. However, the much-awaited clash was cancelled due to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East amid the US-Iran war, since it was set to be held in Qatar.

Now, the massive clash is set to take place in the FIFA World Cup final. Messi could lead Argentina to a historic second World Cup, or Lamine Yamal could create history with La Roja by winning their second title. It’s all a matter of time now.
