    Of course I've seen Ibeabuchi fight - I've been an avid boxing fan for 35 freakin' years!:patsch

    And there are few fighters who are more overrated based on their actual accomplishments. Sorry, but two fights - one of which he arguably lost - do not legitimately show that this unproven fighter would be competitive with two champions who have been at the top of the division for over TEN YEARS!:nono

    The difference is Lewis moved on to bigger and better things, he didnt need to beat Ray Mercer in any rematch to cement his legacy or solidify his greatness.

    Fact is, Hopkins was the closest thing to a great fighter on Calzaghes record (And even he was 40+), Calzaghe got an SD and then refused a rematch, instead he fought another 40+ and then retired.

    There could be some truth to this, i recently did some research on Golovkin/Kovalevs sparring sessions and Abel Sanchez said that was one of the reasons they stopped sparring because GGG was complaining of severe headaches after sessions with Kovalev.

    You aren't going to find many people that rank McCall over Wlad or even Vitali. Good luck convincing the world, you have my sympathies.

    -Heart alone won't help you go the distance with Tyson. A 5+inch height advantage, 20+ lbs, and wrestling skills seem to be the key ingredient.

    -No, he is a great big man. Thanks for the correction. Tony Thompson was a good big man.

    -They proved alot of people on these boards wrong. Maybe you are one of them.

    -Do you?

    -I don't follow.

    by your own admission, byrd was his best win, who destroyed vitali.

    and he struggled by sosojourneymen, well wlad was destroyed by THREE journeymen, let alone the ones he struggled against.

    Wlad and vits are both unproven against really good fighters, just as much as Ike is (although wlad does have povetkin and haye, to his credit)

    All in all you have proved that ike has a very good chance against K bros.

    The way Ike and Tua fought each other is irrelevant to how a fight between them and the Klits would pan out.

    Both are small heavyweights (compared to the Klits and Lewis). The fact they have such good engines might be relevant against each other, but against the taller more-rounded champions their work would be limited to what they were allowed to do. They would be living off scraps of opportunities rather than going toe-to-toe all night.

    I'd tip both Kilts against either, and Lewis against either too (who beat Tua very handily, let's bear in mind).

    Ike is all wrong for Wlad. He is a tougher , stronger, better and more fearless version Brewster and Peter.

    If Peter didn't tire out after 4 rounds and had a work rate over 12 like Ike had , he would of knocked Wlad out. If he had the feet, head movement and offence Ike had , he would of knocked Wlad out.

    Ike's best win is Wlads best win and Ike destroyed a prime Byrd in less time it took Wlad to beat an absolute shot version of Byrd at the end of his career.

    I don't know what post you are referring too. if it has to do with ike beating the klits with many I don't need to respond, common sense should kick in at some point
