    In a fantasy matchups between these two, prime for prime, who would win this fight?
    Deontay "the Bronze Bomber" Wilder or Ike "the President" Ibeabuchi?

    Tua couldn't put a dent in him and the way Wilder fights he doesn't put sustained pressure on fighters so little chance of him breaking him down, so I don't see Wilder KOing Ike.

    Ike never fought a tall super heavy like Wilder but Wilder's boxing skills are so poor it's unlikely he can use his height to it's full advantage to keep Ike on the outside for the full 12 rounds.

    Ike probably KO's him. Wilder always looks for the KO and against Ike that's not going to work.

    We never saw Ibeabuchi's prime. I saw enough of him to know that he would stop Wilder though.

    Ike wins inside 5 rounds. Wilder can't come close to out boxing him or taking his shots.

    As for Ike's chin, Tua who landed several times flush could not drop him.

    It's hard to say considering the extreme lack of notable opponents either has fought.

    Ike only notable opponents are Tua and Bryd and apart from that just fought at journeyman level.

    Wilder's only 3 notable opponents have been Fury (which he should of lost to a out of shape obese drug abuser who has since gone back to fighting journeyman level), Ortiz (who has only fought 2 notable opponents himself, has been speculated to be much older than stated, whom has blood pressure issues and had only fought once in 14 months prior to the fight with Wilder which was against a journeyman ) and Duhaupas.

    Considering wins over Tua and Bryd are better than anything Wilder has done I will have to go with Ike for the win.

    Tua most definately dented Ike,just the effects of said denting werent made manifest till after the fight. Its hard to seperate on who hits harder,Wilder or Tua,so for me personally this is a hard match up. I think Ike could of been heavyweight champ if he kept his marbles.

    If Ibeabuchi was allowed to fight in the US nowadays, I could have seen him as Wilder's next opponent. The WBC would probably put him in their top15 if he fought a pushover after 2 decades out of the ring, if Haymon asked.

    Prime vs prime this isn't even a question despite Ike being somewhat overrated nowadays.

    Yeah, Ibeabuchi is one of the most overrated HWs ever, but he'd destroy Wilder, shatter that glass jaw he's packing within 5 rounds.

    Would we take Wilder to beat Michael Moorer of the Foreman fight?

    Lotta glass gets shattered in that fight. It's a question of who lands a good punch on whose fragile mandible first.
