Ike Ibeabuchi (1997-98) vs Riddick Bowe (1992-93) - who was better and who would win?

The President by KO



When it came time to fight, i always though ike looked focused & deadly......big clash of the titans here......Bowe was tip top in his prime though so i'm going on punching alone :bbb

 

Ike. Bowe got hit too much, and Ike wouldn't stop throwing. Picture Golota without the consistent nad shots.

Keith

 

LOL @ at you noobs.......................he barely got by via gift decision against the limited one trick pony Tua, was clowned and behind on points against featherfist Byrd who was so comfortable with the Pres that he played cute on the ropes and got caught....

Prime for prime with no training excuses from both ( Ibeabuchi had very erratic and inconsistant training habits) Bowe hands his ass on a plater every time.

Bowe become unglued AFTER he won the belts against a ATG, good ol' Ibeabuchi was already a major loose cannon before the Byrd fight and with his genuine certified scrambled brain would never ever made it to the top with his upstairs marbles intakt....../ thread.

 

Been here 10 years, noob.


Umm, Byrd got ko'd in the 5th, after 4 complete rounds, it wasn't like he some unsurmountable lead, and he didn't win all of the first 4.

The Tua fight was close, granted, but Ike won. It wasn't like he got clobbered like Bowe did in BOTH fights against Golota.

I would go with Ike. Ike could hit and throw punches all night. Bowe's lack of defense would cost him.

 

Ibeabuchi is the most overrated hw. Even more than Tua.

 

Ike fought Tua tooth and nail in a slugfest on Tua's best night ever. Tua was never the same after the fight. It was extremely close and could have gone either way. Ike showed a tremendous skill set that night including an exceptional chin, an asset Bowe lacked. That being said we did not see enough of Ike o say he beats the best Bowe (Holyfield 1) but he sure crushes any other Bowe we have seen.

 

Yeah this is pretty funny everyone picking Ibeabuchi. He really never proved himself to be on he level of Bowe at his best, plus he was having trouble with good boxers in the gym. Ike was on his way, but not even close to Bowe yet. Bowe by decapitation.

 

I'm not sold on Ike Ibeabuchi. Riddick Bowe on the other hand from 1992-1995 was about as good as anyone could be. I'd put my money on Bowe.

 

BUT IKE IS A BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER HOLYFIELD, TOOK ALL TIME GREAT TUA'S BEST SHOTS, DESTROYED BYRD AT HIS ABSOLUTE PEAK! KO BOWE IN 1!!!! KO ALI IN 2!

:roll:

 

Bowe Kayoes Ibeaubuchi late, in the eleventh round.

 

Ike did kind of remind me of a bigger version of Holy, but he didnt have the ring smarts or savvy of Holyfield. Ike was young and still inexperienced. He was blasting these guys out of raw ability, but Bowe would have brought a lot more to the table.

 

Agreed, Bowe butchers him.
