    Mansour, Briggs, McCall, Thompson and Ike could have a nice old guys round robin. Tua could be an alternate.

    Not really that quality.

    Let's see what Ike has. Maybe he will surprise us.

    After 20 fricking years ?
    With no tuneups ?

    Ruiz will eat him alive in 4.

    Hopefully this isn't true. Ike needs to get back with Cokes, and trained properly with a couple tune ups.

    Imagine Ike slaughterered him early. The hype would go crazy.

    I don;t care if Ike is 90, he will have more left then Lyackovich, who did pretty well against fat boy. so I repeat...

    What other options does he have? He ain't no Rhodes Scholar, he's got mental health issues, no other experience. Someone kind should give him a good job somewhere to keep him out of the ring...more likely, people looking to make money off of him will swarm in and feed him to the lions. Let's hope Ike has learned his lesson and will lay off the ladies a bit, and stay out of trouble.

    Not matter what any of you guys say, a part of you is interested in seeing how Ike does.

    Ike was awesome before his life unraveled, that fight with tua was fantastic and the pace ike set was phenomenal..also that left uppercut/hook that he detonated on Chris Byrd..what a punch that was. He was something special and would've gone on to great things IMO.

    A legend of Ike Ibeabuchi level, should be left at that...Arum knows Ike better than anybody, so he must have his own personal reasons
