    The crux of this is the hooker NEVER said no Ike was the one who said no & she was never touched. She obviously wasnt what he liked

    The guy is not Adolf Hitler, I think if he served his time he should be released.

    I asked you a different question because you've been writing creepy posts. I always thought you were a weirdo but not that kind of weirdo.

    If indeed he was unjustifiably treated with an injustice, then it is a injustice to all us fans. Ike was a treat to the hw division, if it's true that he was put in there unfairly then that is a shame. I always wondered how well he would do as a older hw, but that seems to be taken away from us too. I'm not saying he's innocent or condoning his actions it's just that some people rot in cells that they shouldn't have to be in. Don't you think the authorities would have the chance to work with him, knowing he's a prize fighter? Jmo.

    So what is your solution? Set him free so he can commit more violent crimes? I don't mean to sound harsh towards the mentally iLL I have had my battles in life with Anxiety and depression but I have stopped short of committing crimes especially like the ones he was convicted of. There is mental illness and then there are predators out that harm others. Sorry, but I have more compassion towards his victims and potential victims if he is set free than him.

    I must admit, you associate with some unscrupulous characters. Ike, Tony and god knows who else. I hope the police are keeping tabs on you.

    It really would've been interesting to see how this guy would've done on the heavyweight scene during his time. He was good but I really think he would've ended up being just another one of Lewis's victims kinda like a Michael Grant. He was better then Grant without a doubt but I see him getting in there with Lewis and taking it to him but walking into a few of his big shots before one of them puts him out. After that I think he goes for a separate downward spiral with all the issues he had or at best sticks around and competes for a different version of the title. Either way I think what intrigues people most about this guy is the unanswered questions about what could've been as I said judging from his fight with Tua and Byrd Ibeabuchi was good but I don't think he had what it took to beat Lewis who was the man to beat of his time.

    When you spend best part of your life in the sport of boxing you meet all sorts of people. Tony was blatantly railroaded he had done nothing wrong but was convicted on a BLATANT LIE from a worthless POS. They had no proof so convicted him on just SUSPICION!!
    Ike was no angel thats for sure he had mental problems too but wouldnt you have if you were kept for 14 months in jail under heavy sedation because they were "scared of what you might do" They couldnt charge you with anything they only had the word of a Vegas hooker. He should have had the help he needed 20 years ago
    I was friends with both for several years & am proud of the fact there are far worse characters in the sport. Peds abusers & cheats that cannot succeed without corruption keeping them "winning"

    Lennox was the ONLY man around at that time that could have maybe beaten him It would surely have been a great fight. The Klitchko's wouldnt have beaten him thats for sure. I think he'd have been the natural successor to Lennox Lewis

    His own country doesn’t want him back. Where do you suggest we deport him to instead?

    What should have happened was Ike started having the mental problems while wrongly incarcerated for 14 months under heavy sedation even though he had never been charged because they never had proof he'd done anything wrong. Only the word of a lying Vegas hooker who claimed she "only came to dance for him" ROFL She was never even touched by Ike & was completely unharmed. Any man would be having mental problems after 14 months of that. THAT is when he needed HELP not imprisonment & harassment for 20 years. He was totally sold down the river. Ike got 20 years of hell yet never touched that hooker while Mayweather beats the **** out of his babies Momma & made him watch it happen & he got 6 weeks in a country club

    Ibeabuchi's mom is also a nutcase. Where do you think he got it from?
