    Sadly Ive met many morons who believe he could still do something today if he was given the chance. Too bad, so sad. He was never meant to be.

    I cant see a comeback resulting in much.He has been away too long.Its a shame he wasted his talent but he deserved locking up.

    this guy is so over rated...look he beat a young byrd who clearly was whooping him before getting caught ... and he went even up with a boxer that lewis and byrd actually ended up shutting down ... ike was awesome but he was kinda like that ayalya guy who was bad ass but went to prison .. alot of goods but not THE goods that made a great fighter

    His finest years were back when Lewis was reigning and the sad thing is, he looked like he could have been competetive against Lennox, and the fight could have only been months away, that night in the Mirage Hotel was a sad one for boxing history, Ibeabuchi was a very viable comodoty and was on fire..

    Did Ike even beat Tua? i thought Tua won the fight. Ike shot his bolt in the first 4/5 rounds after that Tua took control and wobbled him late on.

    Bull****, the man is a piece of **** who intentionally drove an 8 year old kid into a concrete pillar, crippling him for life, and for some reason he got away with 6 months of doing time. Then he raped that callgirl and barricaded the door as polica came. He carried a big ass knife to an official HBO broadcast negotiation dinner... the man is a lunatic, period. They can lock him up for the rest of his natural ****ing life for all i care.


    As for his boxing credentials, he sure looked mighty impressive, but we've never seen him against a fighter over 6'1 who could control range. His defence sucked and he should've lost the Tua fight, although it was a close one. If Tyson got locked up in '88, no one would've thought Douglas or Holyfield would've ever stood a chance against him either. When the chips are down, you discover what a fighter is made of. Untill i've seen that, i won't make claims that he'd easily knock out either Klitschko or whatever.

    exactly .. could you think of how people would veiw a guy like ali if he never came back from those 3 years?...he's already a god .. if that happened he'd be unthinkable .. he'd win probably every head to head match up he's ever placed in .. it'd get ridiculous
