    Don't even bother justifying yourself to this clown. We all know who's stupid and who is not.

    I'm tempted to insult you, but I'll be a man and just say that I strongly disagree with you. You're full of **** if you're never afraid of your opponent. What counts is that you suck it the **** up and fight like a man, despite your fears and doubts.

    There is a test for expressing that opinion. If IKE is "so overrated" what do you think of the Klitschkos? If you say they are not then that makes you a f*cking idiot and so your opinion on Ibeabuchi is worth absolutely nothing.

    If you say they are also overrated then at least there is some consistency to your rating approach that can be acknowledged and considered because there is no doubt that Ike is easily more talented than both Clits and likely would have sparked their asses out cold.

    He was undefeated at 26 when his career came to a permanent end (due to outside the ring activities). You say he is overrated yet he gave David Tua all he could handle and his first loss ever and did it three years before Tua lost in a title fight to Lennox Lewis (and Ike fought an arguably better version in that Tua wasn't nearly as fat and had a much better workrate then). He beat a David Tua that still went 12 with a bit past prime Lewis whereas a prime Vitali Klitschko had his face torn off and could only go 6 with an old and out of shape Lewis two and a half years later. You'll note that this is one of the only decent big men (albeit way past prime) that Vit ever fought - and he lost as putting his eyeball in his pocket for protection is forbidden and meant he was incapable of continuing due to all the damage he had received.

    In 1999, the 26 year old Ike also separated little Chris Byrd from his senses leaving him slobbering and babbling in confusion and stopping him in only 5 rounds. You'll recall that only twelve months later that same little Chris Byrd won the WBO heavyweight championship in GERMANY against one Vitali Klitschko 29 years of age after Vit retired with an injury in the 9th.

    We'll never know what Ike would have achieved in the ring. We do know there were several weakass half-talents that held the various heavyweight titles after 1999 and can determine he would have chopped through the **** poor comp that Wlad and Vit met in the ring and that he would have eliminated those asses with much greater clarity and expediency. The Klits should be sending him a gift each Christmas - it can be argued his insanity helped them immensely.

    Not just in the world at the time but the most dangerous man ever to grace the planet.

    Dude, Vitali is one scary guy. He has that demenor that he really wants to hurt someone and just plain meanness, thats something his brother doesn't have, Wlad come out as being a nice guy and even with Haye you couldn't see any real anger, it seemed more to be annoyance.

    I think your posts shows some extreme bias and hatred for Vitali, I bet you if you were in a staredown with Vitali that u'd **** your pants.

    If you're intimidated by lunatic guys who can't control their emotions then Tyson, Liston, Golotha.

    If you're intimidated by a superior mind, brute power and determination, then Vitali.

    Foreman falls in that second category too, his stare showed cold determination to hurt the person in front of him.

    For me, a young Foreman was up there as being as intimidating as a young Tyson.

    Both were physically intimidating. Both loved to hurt people, and you could see it in their eyes. Tyson was more verbose about it, but George had it written all over his face. George had this stare, it was kinda cold, and it said "What I am looking at is about to die."

    Strangely, I'm gonna throw Max Baer into the conversation. Sure he was more about being an entertainer and a clown... sure half the time he didn't want to fight... but - if he did want to fight, and if he wanted to hurt you, would that not be one of the scariest propositions ever in boxing?
