    The Ike from the Tua or Byrd fight beats Fury up. Possibly even stops him late. Ike was tougher and busier than anybody Fury has fought.

    Ah yes the myth of Ike being a destroyer of all heavyweights despite going life and death with Tua... I never understood all the hype about a guy who never held a title.

    I legitimately thought this was an announcement.

    Riddick Bowe got next.

    Today, possibly. The version that fought Tua, no chance. Ike destroys him.

    Prime Ike is half myth at this point. No doubt he was world class and more than good enough to win a title but many thought he lost the fight to Tua and Byrd while a very good heavyweight and underrated during his time was not a great heavyweight.

    Ike never showed us how he'd do against a genuine superheavyweight, how would he handle the size and reach disadvantages, how would he handle being shut down on the inside with clinches. It's a shame we didn't get to see him in with guys like Wlad and Vitali.

    Fury most likely beats him on points. Nothing Ike did or showed me, makes me think he would of beaten Fury. Even his power would be negated by Fury's supernatural ability to recover.

    In what world would Fury even sign up for that fight? Common guys, Ike would beat the living **** out of him! He still hasn’t no where near cleared out this era yet we are fantasising match ups with 90s legends. Smh

    True we only needed him to go life & death & "win" a SD against a guy making his pro Boxing debut like Ngannou

    Tua beat people who went onto win a title

    Hasim Rahman
    John Ruiz
    Oleg Maskaev
    Michael Moore

    Beating a prime Tua is a good achievement

    He took everything Tua had, others beat Tua but nobody got hit by Tua like that and survived.
