Ike Ibeabuchi vs. Floyd Patterson

Possibly Ike is the most overrated fighter of all times

 

I am not sure who overrates him, let alone in this thread. But I don’t think it is far fetched to acknowledge that he was on the cusp of becoming or failing to become great. But I see a ton of potential that neither he or we got to discover.

 

This is an unfair matchup to Patterson...Ike by KO

 

Ike was at 235 lbs for the Tua fight. 6' 2", with a 77" reach.

 

Bump. Actually on the fence with this.

 

Ibeabuchi would flatten Patterson in a few rounds you're talking about a 235-240 pound monster with good power, solid chin, and a imposing physical presence. Vs a fighter that never weighed over 200 pounds and was knocked down 20 times in his career.

This would be a one sided short fight and i love Patterson as a fighter but this is a horrible style match up for him.

 

Patterson Vs. Liston screenplay; probably not in the first round
