    Vitali's best 2 wins are Corrie Sanders and Samuel Peter. Ike's best 2 wins are David Tua and Chris Byrd. Who's 2 top wins are better? Vitali of course have more depth in his resume, but we're only looking at this subject at hand.

    I think Sanders would beat Byrd. Tua beats Peter. So it's probably a draw.

    Sanders a decade past his best , out of shape and only turned up for a retirement check.
    Peter was heavier than Vitali. Out of shape and washed.

    Byrd and Tua were undefeated and at their best.

    Definitely, Ike. As mentioned above, Sanders and Peter were in dreadful shape when they fought Vitali. Nobody wanted to fight Tua when Ibeabuchi bested him.

    Such a shame that the world wasn't able to see him challenge for the world title, he was a fight away from that title shot or his next fight could've been a Lennox fight, he was ranked as high as #2 by the IBF, just below his former opponent Tua
