    I wasnt implying you did. My biggest point was that within 20 fights he beat two top rated fighters at their respective best, and given the fact his well respected trainer was willing to put him in those fights, was telling as far as his potential. Tua was small in stature, but remember those two set the record for the most punches thrown in a heavyweight fight, so with the activity and power that was displayed in that fight, the only thing we didnt see from Ike was how he would deal with a boxer with a really good jab ala Lennox Lewis.

    Somewhere out there is a crippled young man Ike maimed circa late-96. Most only know or remember the call-girl situation.

    Aside from being a certified lunatic, I believe Ike to be the seed of Cain.

    yes I know about him hitting a bridge with the kidnapped kid. Ike isnt a nice guy thats for sure. He beat someone else up in the locker room after sparring because he thought the guy had something in his glove and was trying to cut him. There was also the incident at the restraunt where hee went nuts when informed he wasnt getting a title shot after the Byrd fight. It was amazing to see such a calm soft spoken guy in the ring after a fight, but realistically he was more unstable than Charles Manson. Hes probably in a safer spot for all of us now.
