    No dude, Ibeabuchi is shot to pieces. I've seen him spar, it's over. He's a relic from a bygone era.

    But you always have to give anyone a punchers chance against the wafer chin aj. I'd love if Ibeabuchi could return and beat a top 20 heavyweight. It would be excellent for the reputation of the 1990s, but it won't happen

    AJ is so bad you can see why Andre Ward legit thought he could beat him in a fight. Usyk saw that bumbling bodybuilding bum handing out big paydays and was all over it, I'll never forget Usyk's face ringside when Ruiz Jr chinned him over and almost ruined the bag. LOL.

    Ward should've taken that fight. Joshua isn't anywhere near as good as Kovalev, he's just much bigger, but Ward always had a small chance of tapping joshuas Achilles Heel if an obese LHW like Ruiz could

    AJ would punch a hole in Ward...but if the size difference wasn't too much then he'd beat AJ. No clinch tactics working here, too much range to cover and AJ grazes you it will hurt.

    AJ is a really a super basic plodder, people still give him too much credit, the jab really shows if you're a good fighter or not. AJ is not much different to Wilder, he has a really quick straight which comes down the pipe, dangerous yes but other than that you can see everything he's doing in that ring. Landed a few decent bodyshots on Usyk but only because Usyk was chilling and risking his position at times which is what he did against Dubious and why he's so confident for a Dubious rematch.

    C'mon.... AJ would have demolished Ward at HW. And Ruiz was hardly a LtHW

    Joshua puts a hole through him because AJ isn't 200 years old.

    I remember when Dubois knocked out AJ, Fury was going nuts ringside. Next time he was in front of a mic he says "that cost me $100mil!!!!!"

    Great thread to show how delusional AJ haters are.

    It's just funny, his debut fight in America to build profile to make a Fury fight he gets chinned off. Recovers in the rematch then cherry picks Usyk thinking the size would be too much and loses again. All relativly light punchers also. Fury fight long gone at this point, small window to recover then they throw him in with Dubious I still don't really know why Eddie Hearn showing his lack of a boxing brain BUT he was wise enough to not let Chisora have a punt at AJ.

    Joshua will KO him in the first round if it's the Ibeabuchi of 2025 too much inactive and too much old.

    Man I’ve never been even close to a fan of Joshua’s… AT ALL. But he’s often pretty undersold on this forum. He’s a ****ing classless goon but he can fight and hits REALLY hard. Ask “The baddest man on the planet” ngannou.

    Joshua by absolute BRUTAL KO. Worse than ngannou.

    What about Prime Ike vs Joshua?

    Prime for Prime?? 60/40 In Ibeabuchi’s favor do to Ike’s chin and stamina. Late stoppage or decision win. But Joshua like him or dislike him… has nasty power. Anything is possible. I actually think Joshua hits a little harder than Ike.
