- Nobody ever hit me that hard. No question about it. I'll remember that punch on my deathbed. (en)
- Ron Lyle was a tremendous puncher.... Great guy, good guy, good-hearted guy. We became very good friends over the years.... Maybe once or twice a month we'd call each other, talk on the phone. (en)
- No one, beyond Sonny Liston, ever stood up to me. Everybody would have to run, hide, cover-up . . . no one stood up to me. But Ron Lyle decided, "I ain't run." And he hit me so hard it didn't even hurt. There I was on the canvas thinking, "What excuse are you gonna have now?" I had to get up. But when I got up, he knocked me down again. He beat me so bad, after while he fainted . . . and I won the fight. That was most memorable fight, 'cause I kept thinking, "Why am I here?" (en)
