    Vitali would have been the tougher Klitschko for sure.

    Ibeabuchi was all kinds of wrong for Wlad. The power, chin, work rate and size...

    TBF neither fighter was the same after that fight, that was the best Tua ever. Still I thought Tua won, and so do many others.

    Yeah there were always many who felt that way, but I was a pretty big Tua fan in the day and remember there always being plenty like me that were fine with the result or could've lived with a draw - which I think was the most common fan scorecard, actually. :conf

    Vitali was stiff ,robotic he couldn't box. Curtis would have had Ike boxing Vitali . Ike could do it all Box & FIGHT!! thanks to one of the most under rated trainers in the business. He'd have had a game plan ready for Vitali I remember I was ridiculed on boxing forums for predicting Ike would beat Tua. No one had heard of him. After the fight it was Where have they Been hiding him?? & He's great Really its Curtis Cokes I feel sorry for he had two fighters capable of winning a HW title both failed for different reasons. Ike's incarceration & the blatant con job John Ruiz & Joe Cortez pulled to rob Kirk Johnson from winning the WBA title

    I agree. Wlad would have been in serious trouble had they fought.

    Ike barely beat Tua. You can make a case for Tua winning. He wasn't invincible.
