ike ibeabuchi vs samuel peter

Peter had some nice things going for him: physical strength, a strong jab, a good chin, heavy hands, and heart, but everything he had in his arsenal, Ibeabuchi did better. In most cases, much better. Peter doesn't go the distance here. I'd be surprised if he made it past the 8th.

 

At the end of the day, Big Sam is the one with the WBC heavyweight belt on display. Was he one of the more mediocre champions in heavyweight history? Yeah, but I doubt he gives a ****...being grouped in that category is something most fighters never get to achieve. It's like having one of the lowest ACT scores at an Ivy League school.

 

It's not really a good idea to stand in front of Peter, but then again standing in front of Tua wasn't smart either.
Ike has intense workrate, Peter seemed to have a very good chin pre Wladimir (Probably ruined by all the punches he took, first from Wald then from Vitali)
(I know Ike also had an iron chin)
But it's really hard to beat Ike as a slugger.
I favour Ike, late tko maybe.

 

Peter ... the last who forced Wlad to hold like a chicken ...
at his best he might give a fight to anybody ....

I feel that Ibeabuchi is highly overrated which was defined by the
slugfest with Tua, same as Gatti was defined by his slughest with Ward
and he was back to reality after Maywather schooled him.

 

With Peter at his very best it would have been a real war, a fight worth watching!

 

Have you ever seen the Byrd fight? Ibeabuchi won every round and khtfo, thats not my definition of schooling
