Why should a beating up a hooker be different from beating anyone else up? Is it also a lesser thing to sexually assault them because they are a hooker?
Just before the 60s. Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Rocky Marciano etc. Heavyweights have gotten bigger and more skilled or at the very least they've gotten bigger and kept the agility of the smaller heavyweights
Ibeabuchi came later on top than Louis. So he´d need to fight more to accomplish the same. If he could of course. Other than that, he´s cutting through the avarage 189lb era of Baers, HotDogs and Conns....
Dont forget The Brown Bomber's bum of the month club & the war years where he was just doing exhibitions. Anyway too early to say Ike was only just getting started his best was yet to come. If only he hadnt called that hooker
I disagree, but let's assume that you are right. To even have a theoretical chance of matching Louis's record, you would have to be able to maintain world class form, over more than a decade! Larry Holmes might be able to do it. Tim Witherspoon, could theoretically do it, though it is highly unlikely. It is a very safe bet that Ike wouldn't do it!
Cedric was just after the $$$$$$$$$$$ He was the one that should have got Ike the medical help he needed
Ibeabuchi demonstrated nothing to make me think he could replicate what Joe Louis achieved. He was an exciting prospect-turned-realistic-contender - and that's it. I do think it is reasonable to believe he'd have been a significant player in the next generation of Heavyweights, i.e. Klitschko era. But, as to how long that could have lasted (his actual personal issues notwithstanding) we can't tell.
Absolutely not. There isn't a single "big heavyweight" that can move like Walcott or Charles for example.
