    Good article.

    I liked how un-biased it was.

    Funny what just a little bit of research can uncover.

    Duke Sabedong 15-11-1 went the distance with Ali, so Ali must be a bum

    I don't think he looked great in the Byrd fight aside from the KO and the Tua fight could have gone either way and as we know Tua is pretty one-dimensional.

    Right. He wasn't looking good against Byrd before the knockout and Tua was no world beater Himself.

    Fans who say Ibeabuchi was great (Check the posting history of Jack) are just fans who don't like the European champions we have today. It's really just grasping at straws..............

    Yeah, Ibeabuchi is about the most overrated fighter of the last 20 years. 18 fights against the usual suspects, two against live bodies - one of which he arguably lost!!

    Two fights does not prove that Ibeabuchi was anywhere near as good as some seem to think he is.

    As an up and coming contender and prospect, Ike was starting to make some noise, then just like that...it was over.

    Yes he gets overrated, but it's understandable after we seen what he was capable of, and the fact his boxing career ended at a time when people were really starting to take notice.

    A big, strong and lively contender is always a good thing for the division. Ike was all of those things.

    To an extent, I think you are right. We just don't know what he would have went on to be.

    Ibeabuchi's career was cut short through no fault of his own you stupid mother****er. Nobody overrates him. Just because Byrd beat Vitali, and Ike took him out in 4 + rounds doesn't mean Ike beats Vitali. Anyway, Ike ****s both Klit brothers up!
