    Ike couldn't knock Tua down and Barrett did. Just saying...................Ike had a tendency to fight down to the level of his competition.

    Vitali by UD in a fun one....................

    Fight was great i didint say it wouldnt, but Tua was and is a limited fighter with small size and they dont have anything same with Vitali..almost all fighters outbox Tua atleast a while.

    Irrelevant!!

    Grasping at straws, to believe a knockdown in a unrelated fight affects a totally different fight.
    You non-boxing spectators are a trip with your BS false correlations. :rofl:rofl

    Ike choose to fight Tua's fight, and that's what made the fight so close, and so exciting.
    I have no idea why he choose to take this strategy, but at the time I hoped that Ike would get another trainer better at defining different fight strategies.

    If Ike had faced Vitali, I doubt that Vitali would have chosen Tua's flat footed, face to face strategy. I think Vitali would have chosen to move like Byrd with Ike cutting off the ring and landing bombs when ever in range. :yep

    Green to me is pre-prime. Vitali didn't hit his prime until the lewis fight.
