    Tyson by decision, he'd get hurt but he isn't losing.

    95-ish post Mike Tyson could lose to Ibeabuchi it’d be an attrition win. Tyson was at the time in his life where he’s just trying to force the KO, lifting weights and basically a hobbyist, Ike was very confident and could make MT fight. I’d rate that fight highly… 88 Tyson butchers him from too many angles, Ike was durable but when you’re hit by something you don’t see coming… that would happen, Ike’s depth of knowledge wouldn’t be enough to predict where the hands are coming from the way he did with Tua and he’d be KO’d. The baddest cat we ever had (beside Starling etc) visit this forum @Rockin’ said it best “Your eyes are your chin” (that’s roughly it from memory) and to see you gotta know.

    If Ike employs the Tua gameplan against Tyson he's getting knocked out

    Though Tyson has to be the clear favorite here, this is a dangerous fight for Tyson.
