prime donovn ruddock 89 to 91 v ike ibeabuchi 97 to 99?

Ike had higher boxing IQ so I'd favor him

 

They both hit extremely hard, I dunno who hit harder.
Ruddock was 238 against Tyson one fight-by memory-& Tua was chunky around that weight.
Per inch, Tua was heavier because of his legs.

 

Ike by stoppage. Probably mid rounds. He was more skilled. Used his jab. Set up his power smartly at least compared to Ruddock.

 

Ike by nasty early ko. Ruddock could leave himself open at times, and went a little trigger happy with the Smash. Ike, imo had the better all round skill and chin.
I'm going Ike by ko 5.

 

Hard fight to determine on the surface. On one hand you have Ruddock who never beat a prime opponent and fell short against the elite. On the other you had Ibeabuchi who DID beat some prime opponents But didn’t have that many fights nor ever fought the elite. Both obviously had better than average power. Ike arguably had the better chin. Toss up for me

 

Tyson was just a bomber by 91. Lewis stopped Ruddock early. Ike may have similar success.

 

Problem is that Ruddock was ruined by Tyson ... He took so much damage in those fights he was never the same ... Which is why I don't rate Lewis' win over him highly ... He was a shot fighter and a Tyson left over by the time Lewis got to him ....

Post Tyson Ruddock doesn't beat Ike

 

Both Overrated but Ruddock doesn't stand a chance. Ike would eat his punches and take his head off eventually

 

I'd lean towards Ibeabuchi but his resume is kinda thin to support that. Based off of the Tua fight, Ike wins. Based off career, maybe Ruddock should be favoured.
