    Yeah, Ibeabuchi is ridiculously overrated. He two victories over live bodies, one of which was arguably a LOSS! And people think he'd beat the Klitschkos or Lewis?? :patsch :nut

    He would kill Haye.

    I'd give him a decent chance against Wlad aswell. Considering the fact that he is miles better than the like of Samuel Peter in almost every department. I wouldn't bet my house on it, but an Ike win over Wlad prime for prime wouldn't be at all surprising.

    Tua is no better than Samuel Peter, in fact Peter won a belt which is something that Tua couldn't do. Wlad would beat Tua the same as Lewis did, with superior boxing skill & power of his own.

    Wlad, Vitali, Lewis all beat Ike. He's one of the most over rated fighters on ESB simply because he ended his career without losing. Then again, he never fought any real competition outside of Byrd & Tua did he?

    So now it's a "decent chance" but before you were saying Ike would kill Wlad like it would be a walkover................:rofl

    Ike never won a belt, Peter won the WBC.

    Ike was little bit overrated. He looked good against 6´0 or 5´10 guys like Tua and Byrd because they were his style. Lewis, Bowe and Klitschko would do a paintjob on him. Bad stamina.

    He was a ****ing monster, and I may be in the minority but I feel he would have taken over the division and ended up as an ATG. Tua was just about the toughest HW out there unless Lennox was, and he was never the same after the fight with Ike. If that fight was a cause of Ike's brain malfunctions, then neither was Ibeabuchi.

    Lol you clown....Ike had bad stamina? Yeh he was only in the fight that broke the record for most punches thrown (1730 to be exact) in a heavyweight fight....and oh Ike averaged 81 punches a round in that fight....yeah he had real "stamina" issues. Fool.

    Ike would be THE champ, now... Back in the day, the only one who may have gotten him was Lewis. Ike was a very well rounded fighter. Great shape, good combination puncher, chin, balls and went after it. The wins over Tua and Byrd are not to be taken lightly. Tua back then was a very heavy hitter and in shape. And who the hell could KO Byrd ? Wasted talent...

    Ike was a good boxer. He showed that in the Tua fight going toe to toe.

    He would of been a real force had he not gone to jail. Wasted talent.

    The reason ike got repeatedley tagged vs a prime undefeated tua who was also the most feared puncher at the time was because ike chose to beat tua at his own game. Ikes chin was also put to the test and even though tua seemed the bigger puncher of the 2 ike landed bombs of his own and outlanded tua by being the busier guy. If tua at his best could not ko ike the klits wouldn't either. They might of beaten him by decision but I'm positive he would of upset wlad at the least. Ike beat 2 undefeated fighters in which one holds a victory over vitali. I've seen the vitali-byrd fight and vitali was barely beating byrd. Idk what the scorecards were but it was very competitive and not one sided. Ike might of been the best hw fighter to not become a champion.
