Ike wins by TKO3. He smashes the marshmallow chin Lummox Lewis rather easily. This is why Lewis never fought him.
Not a good matchup for Lewis. He never does well with guys that have iron chins and amazing KO % (Vitali)
Lewis. I thought Tua v Ike was a draw. Ike v Holy or Tyson would have been epic. Lewis and VK beat him though.
Lewis decision Ike had too good of a chin to get KO'd, but not athletic and skilled enough to beat Lewis
It's difficult to call, Lewis had a dodgy chin, sometimes tired late and often flattered to deceive but also plenty of heart and power plus for a big man he was quite fast. Ike had relatively few weaknesses but maybe this is because he did not have enough fights for his weaknesses to become known. He had almost supernatural stamina, good speed and power and a great chin. From what we know of both fighters it probably would have been a good fight and I think ike would've won a decision ultimately
Knowing both guys this would have been a very hard figh for me to watch but one I wouldnt miss either. As for Lennox ducking Ike, they were one fight away from getting it on. Sadly the Vegas call girl scenario scuttled that along with Ike's career
