Ike Ibeabuchi vs. Klitschko Bros.

Ike KO over Wlad, Wlads weak chin combined with his poor stamina and lack of mental toughness would catch up to him in this fight. Wlad does have a chance with his tremendous offense, but I see Ike being aggresive and landing on Klit and finishing him off

Ike decision Vitali- I think Ike would outwork and outslug Vitali, who had poor defense, and his bad habit of keep his left too low would catch up to him in this fight. I wouldnt rule out vitali quitting on his stool if the going got tough by late rounds

 

It's tough to say how he'd fare against athletic, tall heavyweights who knew how to use their reach. Simply because he never faced one.

I could see a fight between he and Wladimir going two ways. 1) Wladimir outboxes him from long range, outjabbing him, and holding when Ibeabuchi gets closer. 2) Ibeabuchi is able to get inside of Wladimir, outworks him, roughs him up, hurts him, and stops him. I might lean toward number 2 due to the fact Peter was competitive with Wladimir and was able to land clean shots; and Peter, while almost/just as powerful, has no where near the technical skill, footwork, or stamina. I'm not sure how Wladimir would hold up, mentally, against a fighter with the mental strength of Ibeabuchi.

Vitali could do the same and outbox Ibeabuchi, but he tended to get in slugfests. Really a toss up fight in my opinion.

 

Wlad KO6. Vit UD12.

Saw Ike fight in person and never bought the bandwagon.

Another "what if" guy that everyone on this board is so in love with.

 

Wladimir didn't floor Samuel Peter and didn't stop Sultan Ibragimov. But he's going to knock Ibeabuchi out in 6?

 

Yeah, half fair points. Wlad and Vit don't exactly get my blood boiling, but Ikes claim to fame is beating a Tua who never exactly fulfilled his promise or became as good as thought, and i still don't think Ike beat Tua anyways! I'll say he has a helluva chance vs the Klit's because he can take a heckuva punch as well as hit quite hard himself. He is a chance of stopping Wlad and might be busy enough to take Vit close. Hard to say, he is far less proven and accessible than the two brothers.

 

Agreed, a person has to dig up one of the greats to beat Ike. He puts me in mind of a heayweight version of Evander Holyfield when he was at cruiserweight. A machine with that up on your toes style that has crazy stamina and punching power. Not to mention he was one of the most technically polished heavyweights that i have ever seen. All of this talent wasted for a maid at a hotel room.

 

Let me guess, you'd take him over Tyson too!

 

Not only would Ike stop Tyson, but The Tua that Ike beat would also stop him as well. Tyson can not take what these guys have to dish out and you Tyson fans just continue to ignore that and go ahead and pick him to beat some of the toughest legends like Ali/Foreman/Liston/ ect. Its bordaline stalking the way you Tyson huggers go on about his carzy power and footspeed, totally ignoring his lack of heart. He would mentally fall apart. Ibeabuchi was far tougher and skilled than ANY version of Tyson. Again, picture Holyfield at cruiser weight and there you have it. Ike was a bigger version of Holyfield.

 

Tyson did not like to be pushed backward because it throws him off of his game. Ike and Tua are both come foward power houses that are far tougher, can match him in punching power, better chins and can take his shots and keep coming, Tyson can not handle all of that heat.

The smaller Holyfield was able to push Tyson backwards and you seen the result there. He completly fell apart. Wait let me quess what the Tyson fans will say, ''Keven Rooney wasn't in his corner''', ''Evander didn't beat peak Tyson'' or ''youza hater'' LOL. Its just hesterical.

 

Oh, so not only ike but Tua also

But you're totally balanced by freely picking the likes of Tua and Ike and lord only knows who else to beat him without fail :rofl

Never mind them handling what Tyson dishes out, that doesn't matter of course :nut

Oh for sure, he was the heavyweight version of Willie Pep for power and Butterbean for footspeed LOL

Suuuuure he would, never mind the other two never won a title let alone beat a few top fighters.

Man, when it rains it pours!! :happy

Holyfield was far more skillful, and as for proven? We need not even go there

:good

 

Im my opinion Tua has better one punch knockout power than Tyson does because he gets better leverage on his pucnhes. Ike and Tua both can take what Tyson has to dish out because they both went 12 hard rounds taking power punches from each other so their heart is proven. Everytime Tyson took a heart test, he has always failed. He has always lacked heart, its just that his managing team did a great job at matching him against lesser opponents when he was in his peak. Avoiding real competition like Bowe, Witherspoon, Mercer ect. :-(

 

Yeah man, it sure seems like Tyson would blow out real opponents like these the way he does those other bartenders. These guys sure look like punks don't they?:nut

Your arguement is yet again one sided. Tua and Ike haven't done enough to prove they can handle the Tyson heat that they will be walking into. Handling each others is one thing, it's not as if they are anything near ATG's. Tua sure got gun shy vs Lennox Lewis, no?

Holyfield wasn't so small by the time he fought Tyson, and nor was he weak. It's not like Tyson hasn't beaten some big strong men. Holyfield, even at this stage of Tyson took some very serious leather and i'd like to see those other two take that, and better still his leather from around the Berbick fight.

Obviously you would say the Tyson who fought Holyfield was peak Tyson? Right?

 

At Tyson's peak, the only guy of these 3 who had made a mark was Spoon, who was basically blackballed after defying King.
