    Both scenarios are possible but I don't see ike getting past foremans jab or being able to dictate the pace.

    You're still giving ike the benefit of the doubt in strength and power based on him having a close fight with a guy who was both shorter than foreman and weighed about as much as him (226). A fight where neither man had a clear advantage in any category. So I'm still confused why you use this fight as evidencr of him being better than foreman.

    And a fight where both fighters were virtually immobile

    prime?im a big Tua fan but cant see how he closes the gap without taking heavy damage on the way in,not sure if he would get stopped but he d get outpointed.I think Ike is a harder opponent for Foreman,but Foreman hits HARD,Ike can be rocked as was evidenced in the Tua fight.
