    Bowe (in his prime)
    Holyfield (in his prime)
    Fraizer (also, in his prime)

    How does Ike fair against these three?

    He loses against all them. Bowe should be careful because his poor defence but he was proved he had all time great blood. He would be the last man up. Frazier maybe would get knocked down twice early but he would dominate the fight late. Holyfield should fight smart like in bowe II . he wins a tough decision

    While people said Ike was a bigger more powerful Holyfield at the time I don't think he beats Evander. Holyfield could handle Ike's power and had a clear speed advantage, I think prime Evander can mix it up enough to win a decision.

    Bowe may struggle, he was easy to hit and Ike could hurt him but prime Bowe, the one that fought Evander the first time wins a tough battle. Bowe liked fighters that came to him and Ike would do that being the smaller man. While I think Bowe's jab is over rated by some it's still better than Ike's and Ike doesn't have the speed and movement to pull of what Evander did in the 2nd fight.

    Ike has the best shot against the much smaller Frazier. I could see the uppercut that KO'ed Byrd doing same to a ducking Frazier. But we would be talking about the Frazier that beat Ali and that Frazier was a beast a much bigger proposition than the Tua who fought Ike and I thought Tua won that fight. If Ike doesn't get to Frazier early he is swarmed over by Frazier and loses a decision.

    I think Ike would be competitive in all 3 fights but I don't think we saw enough of his ability to pick him over these 3 fighters.

    Yep that's how I see him, a bigger, slower, less technically gifted Holyfield. His size might be of help him against the likes of Rid**** Bowe and other big fighters like Lennox Lewis but Evander would have beat him to the punch and would punish him.

    I think he kills Fraizer, in all honesty. He's like Fraizer 2.0

    He'd out-tough Bowe. I think he takes over second half of the fight.

    Ike/Holy would be breathtaking! Hard to pick a winner due to Evander's heart. He was a true warrior.

    Fraizer: High pressure fighter, big output, KO power.
    Ike: The same but better.

    Now f*ck off.

    ike was more like holyfield. But if i had a gun in my head and i have to pick i would say that he was closer to norton than he was to frazier. He had Absolutely NOTHING SIMILAR TO JOE .
    A 5'11 FIGHTER WHO FOUGHT LIKE HENRRY ARMSTRONG PERFECTLY INSIDE AND IKE WAS 6'2 HIS REACH WAS LONGER, HIS BODY WAS DIFFERENT LIKE HIS GUARD, PHYSICALLY HE COULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE FIGHTING LIKE FRAZIER, YOU KNOW A COMPLETE **** ABOUT THIS SPORT.
    Ike a frazier 2.0 lmao
