    I have to admit to not knowing who Ibeachi is. Did you mean Ike Ibeabuchi?

    I think Ibeabuchi would win. He's old and so forth but Ngannou is not a real boxer. He was made to look good by a lackluster, unprepared Tyson Fury but the reality is that he did not show a whole lot of boxing skills. I would go with Ike by decision.

    Ngannou would ****ing crumble him, Jesus. Ike is like 100 years old, and he was never really a skills guy, more like a toughness and power guy. There's no way he's even the shadow of the guy he once was. Once Ngannou lands the power, it's over. Ike was slow even in his prime; right now they could dust him down with a bag of flour and hire him out as a statue.

    Boxing is a young mans game. Ike gets young manned in there vs Ngannou.

    Ngannou is just too powerful for Ike right now. Ike's punch resistance at his age is probably finished which is an understatement.

    You guys haven't seen Ibeabuchi's latest fight, he went 12 rounds for a heavyweight "title" and although it wasnt against the best opponent he still landed big right hand bombs in that bout. Not saying he would win but he isn't a push over either

    Some people are really deluded in overrating the skills and physical capability of 55 year old men. I'd pick Jake Paul to beat Ike at this point lol.

    Ike is 53 years old. Ngannou is 39. Too much of an age difference.

    Ike looks pretty good for an old geezer. But anyone in the top 50 smokes him. His comeback would have probably been a lot more interesting had it happened 10 years earlier.
