    The Usyk that beat Joshua in fight one completely schools Prime Ibeabuchi and wins a UD. This version of Ike should be just watching Usyk and taking notes for future senior citizen fights against Briggs or Tyson.

    Usyk would stop Ike early, I'd prefer to see Ike fight Jake Paul.

    Lets not act like Usyk has been going through a murderers row. If you liked the way that crude Chisora knocked Usyk around for 4 rounds before gassing, what do you think a more skilled, better boxing IQ Ibeabuchi would have done to Usyk with that 12 round gas tank? Usyk gets stopped by pre-prison Ike.

    Usyk wouldn't beat Wlad. Wlad owned the Soviet school boxers he faced. I don't think Usyk beats prime Povetkin either.

    Chisora won two rounds...the same two Usyk gave up to everybody back then. I was kind of his thing before the Joshua fight. Same dumb narrative with Hunter and Bellew.

    Ike slugged with Tua, he didn't have a high boxing IQ at all.

    Prime Ike gets embarrassed by Usyk in my opinion. I agree with you that Wlad would awful for Usyk though.

    Maybe not but prime Ike was big, strong and could throw bombs without getting tired for 12 rounds. Look what happened to Byrd, he was a lefty without any real punching power that was pretty confident in out boxing Ike, didn’t work out well for him and it wouldn’t for Usyk either.

    Usyk would absolutely be in a war against Ike.

    Foreman was younger then Usyk when he started his comeback.

    Being world champ at 52 is probably possible. Starting a campaign at 52 really isn't.

    Usyk will probably avoid Ike like he did with Parker

    Chisora took 2 rounds off Usyk — multiply that by 6, subtract 11, and you get Ike by first-round KO. Easy math.

    Ike won’t get far unless he fights often

    Foreman fought 24 times in 4 years before he took on Holyfield

    Anything less than that type of activity and he will crash and burn, fast
