ike ibeabuchi vs Lennox Lewis ; Mike Tyson ; Wladimir Klitschko

So Ike gets to replace his glass brain in order to have a mythical "Prime".

Do Prime Lewis, Wlad and Mike get a physical upgrade too?

 

He would lose vs. Lennox and Wlad clearly on points or late stoppage. Tyson would win as well but closer.

Ibeabuchi is widely overestimated. He was outboxed by Byrd for 4 rounds and he lost vs. Tua. HE was good and a possible beltholder but no way a undisputed like the other three.

 

Primes, Tysons too quick and explosive for him, but the other 2 would be good fights.
I think he could beat Wladimir, he has never gotten over what Sanders did to him mentally IMO, and gets terrified anytime a realy puncher gets close. Hes learned what to do under steward but the vulnerabilitys still there.
I would have Wladimir/Ibeabuchi a fight that could go either way.

Ibeabuchi could really jab, and Lewis struggled with guys who could jab with him, Mercer/Bruno/Vitali even Rahman fight 1. If Lewis got his jab going it was job 3/4 done, but Ibeabuchi could jab with him, he took Tuas best shots flush and didnt blink and could outbox Byrd.
Lewis big figt experience may see him through, but this is again a fight that could go either way.

 

No, he would lose to all 3. Possible TKO/KO loss to all of them.

 

I think its only fair that Wlads egg chin, is upgraded to glass.

Other two dosent need any upgrades for someone like Ibeabuchi

 

if ike wasnt afraid of tyson..then iron mike would have been in for a tuff night....FACT

 

Way to keep pasts more real is to pick random fight of theirs.

Hopefully not a stinker..

It is a shame that he never fought lewis, if he hadnt had the problem with the stripper in las vegas, a few more fights and i think he would have been ready, i think he may have caused lewis a few problems. When is he up for parole?, is it 2013?.

 

He would have given all 3 a good fight but I can't help but believe he would've been just a step short. In the class of Sanders, Rahman definitely.

 

That was terrible lol, feel sorry for boxing NOT for Ike after what he did, he deserves to be where he is.

 

The only absolute is that if we are talking 1999 then IKE would have had to chase Wlad & Vitali around the ring while they both did their flailing, falling back pedal in panic before he knocked them the **** out cold.

Ike was a wrecking ball a full four years before Wlad got decimated by the mediocre South African and both Klit brothers were still fighting straight out bums (most fortunately - excluding an old LL - that is essentially all they have managed to ever fight). They would have been dominated and ultimately embarrassed by IKE. Ike's **** up left a barren division that much worse for his absence.

In 1999 IKE v LEWIS could have been a tremendous fight. IKE v Tyson far less so as post-prison Mike was never the same as the prime version. Mike didn't fight at all well in 1999 or ever again.

Noobs try to rate IKE on a career shortened by events while ignoring his talent level and athletic ability. If Ali had fought three fights in his prime and then died in a plane crash that wouldn't change his athletic level. If prime Lewis and Tyson had fought three fights and then had been shot outside a club that wouldn't change their athletic level. IKE in 1999 was undeniably above both Klits by a distance. Now, of course, if you are a noob and can't evaluate talent and differentiate between poor, good, and great then little else needs to be said.

:think

 

He'd knock out Glass Jaw Wlad.

 

Lewis would be too good for him, I think.

However, I think Ibeabuchi was a better fighter than Vitali and Wlad of that period was far too aggressive to last 12 rounds against Ibeabuchi. It'd be a good fighter but ultimately, Wlad's chin would let him down. As it probably would with the current version of Wlad, actually, but there's also a chance that Wlad could just jab and spoil to win a UD.

Vitali would get beaten up and stopped.

 

Tyson wasn't prime around the time that Ibeabuchi beat Tua, and Byrd. Ibeabuchi would have crapped on the Holyfield of that time frame. As he was, Ibeabuchi would have been a pick em with Lewis, and with a little more seasoning, he would have been something special in my opinion. He had seemed to have a decent in ring IQ, and he could brawl or box, and he could even adapt and zoom in on elusive opponents. Unheard of stamina for a heavyweight, iron chin, power, high work rate, the guy could be the biggest waste of talent in the history of the heavyweight division.
