Actually yes I believe he beats both of them and I know first hand this was the fighter Lennox Lewis manager was most worried about.
the guy was a meathead set to self destruct whose whole myth is based on two fights and in reality one stoppage of Chris Byrd. I pay him no tribute at all except that he served his time for his crimes.
He was an outstanding amateur won all his professional including being the first man to beat and stop top guys like David Tua and future world heavyweight champion Chris Byrd. No myth he was an outstanding talent. Lesser fighters have world titles.
He never stopped Tua, lol. Aside from Tua and Byrd his resume is a covfefe burger and he went rounds with journeyman
Well one thing is clear, ibeabuchi remains a blank canvas for fans to make whatever assessment they want. Overrated... the goat... Nobody will ever really know. Probably shouldn't have kidnapped and tried to murder-suicide that kid, crippling him for life. What a guy.
A developing fighter is supposed to go rounds with journeymen. I know he did not stop Tua because if you read my note properly I said beat and stopped Tua and Byrd. Byrd was stopped Tua was beaten. Respect the rules of language and grammar.
Any person leaving a teen with permanent life changing injuries by an intentional act, gets no tribute from me.
Man, he was a tough guy and a very good fighter but was a little rapey for my liking. Hard to root for a guy as rapey as Ike.
