Official Poll: Ike Ibeabucci and Wlad Klitscko

This thread reads much about how people, especially Haye and Lewis fans, see Klitschko as a weak Beltholder with no chin... Quite amusing

Wladimir by wide UD.

 

Ike easy. No way Wlad can handle his combination of speed, power, stamina and his granite chin will ensure he doesn't get KO'd. Ike inside 3 or 4.

 

Klitschko by UD. Ibeabuchi had a great chin, which was probably also the reason of his downfall, as many people claim that he got ****ed up by taking so many flush shots from Tua.

 

ike would force wladimir, to be his tina:yep

 

Ike would have KO Wlad out of planet earth and into space.

 

The President Ike by KTFO

 

BETTER?:IKE UD him

KO'ED several contenders?ruiz and oquendo?two and fres was fringe at best..,and we know how you feel about ruiz MR.ZAK

more accomplished? everytime ike stepped up he won in an impressive fashion..,

ike vs. tua set the record for punches thrown by heavys and was an incredible fight!!!

byrd vs. ike was a 1 puch ko..,no one did that to chris before or after this fight.

the man only had 20 fights..,he reminds me of ding mixed with holy..,meaning every punch had KO tagged to it..,but he was a pressure fighter with one punch KO power very rare!!!!

IKE would be 35 right now think how much improved he would be..,DAM ZAK you should reconsider your stance on the president..,

THE MAN COULD FIGHT!!!!

DAN LAW

IKE KO's any version of WLADDY..,klit would be intimidated and be shittin his pants and i like the steelhammer but its man versus boy here folks

 

Ike by KO.

Ike had the potential to become an ATG HW. He had crushing power, a granite chin which was apparent against Tua, his skills were solid which was evident against Byrd. I don't see Wlad being able to Survive Ike for the distance. The chances of him even surviving the early rounds are slim.

 

Ike was a typical rising fighter knocking his intimidated opponents. He drawn much attention by his style. But he wasn't universal. He was limited. He wasn't that big either - 6'2'' 235lbs. He wasn't very quick and his handspeed is not fantastic. His assets are punch and relentlessness. He walked in the ring like there were no opponent at all. He just come lazily to knock another victim out. Mike and many great fighters had different attitude.

Byrd was making fool of Ibeabuchi. Ike won by a lucky punch. Missing 300 swings to land 1 against a fighter without a big punch. Very entertaining.

Klitschko at his best would beat Ibeabuchi at his best.

 

I would either go with Ike by a Tko or Vlad by UD.

 

Tua was the opposite of intimidated. He's the only man to go toe to toe with Tua and not only survive, but win. This was a different Tua than the overweight and unmotivated one that fought Byrd, as well.

Byrd made almost all of his oppontants look bad, with the exception of Wlad because of styles. And even so, Ike knocked him out faster than Wlad did. I don't honestly see how you could see Wlad beating Ibeabuchi, it's a terrible matchup for him. Ike has a granite chin so one Wlad right hand won't win it like against Brock, he has more than enough power to knock out Wlad when he lands, his skills and defensive skills are good enough so that Wlad can't win simply by running, clinching, and pawing with his jab, and his stamina and workrate make it so he'd pressure Wlad from start to finish and there's no way Wlad could win late.

 

That's the dumbest post I've ever read about Ike, congrats :good

Byrd did not stand in front of Ike, he ran used all of his slicks and moves he had. Ike broke him down and finished him off in a fight he was leading on the cards.

 

Decission or T/KO I'm picking Wlad.

Ike might be more athletic . . . but physical and championship experience advantage goes to Wlad.

Wlad's last 2 poor performances . . . is making me think twice. :yep

 

Ike is in a completely different league in mental toughness, Wlad has very little, and has been exposed when pressured by a puncher. He had a life and death match with Peter, where he was forced to clinch 97 times, panic a couple times, and looked to be the prey, more times than the predator in that fight. I love Samuel Peter, but Ike was alot more skilled and was overall better.

Ike had power, a granite chin, good combinations, good killer instincts, he really was going to be the next great Heavyweight in the early 2000's, and take the belt from Lennox eventually.

I dont think the poll should be between Wlad/Ike, it should be between Ike/Vitali, now that would be a war the fans would love to see. Ike by TKO over Wlad in the 2nd or 3rd round.

 

Exactly. Limited resume, and extremely overrated because his career ended early.:yep
