How many times did someone do this thread before. It's like all the Calzaghe threads.:hey But anyway. Ike is a never was. Wlad is a ATG Wlad UD.
Ike would have ****ed him up. Wlad wouldn't have fought him though. Ike had 4 traits that Wlad would have avoided: power, handspeed, chin, and skill. Ike would have caught him, and finished him.
Ike had shitty skill and slow handspeed. He was powerful and had a good chin. Wlad would have cruised to an easy and very boring UD against him.
Did you ever even watch Ike? Power, yes - speed, not so much. I'll go with a UD via hugfest for the bigger man.
Actually Ike was skilled, he had every power punch in his arsenal and could throw combinations too. Surely he's not exactly Larry Holmes in terms of skills but far better than Samuel Peter.
Victory over prime Byrd and Tua is greater than anything on Wlads resume? Actually Ike was the one that popped both fighters cherry. And, he did so under 20 career fights.
An 'ATG' who goes life and death with Sam Peter who was 10 times a safer opponent than Ibeabachi:think And how come this 'ATG' barely beat anybody better than Sam Peter? Ike disintegrates Wlads creamy cake chin within the first 3 rounds
Wlads fouling tactics don't factor into fantasy match ups. If you want to play it that way , he loses by DQ. This is boxing we talk here and in a straight up clean fought fight , Wlad leaves the ring on a gurney. Believe that.
Ike was a freak. He looked like a Bodybuilder yet had the gas tank and workrate of a Flyweight, Had wicked KO power and a fantastic chin. He had it all. It's a short night, IMO.
