    Sure and also they are very lucky lebron , wade , dwight , harden and many others are playing basketball and not boxing, not to mention obama who would have been a very slick fighter with extremely high ring IQ.

    While the Tua fight was action packed with serious activity from both fighters, Ibeabuchi not only proved that he has insane punch resistance and stamina, he also proved that he has serious skills. He exchanged with Tua at times and also using movement, defense and ring generalship to outbox him when necessary.

    That was Tua at his prime, although I don't think Ibeabuchi had reached his prime yet. Ike was still a work in progress and had he continued his career, I feel that he would have just gotten better.
    That fight took at big toll on Tua. I don't think he was the same after that fight.

    The Ibeabuchi****s are almost as bad as the Tuards. Tuardism is a serious epidemic on boxing forums.

    Ibeabuchi is a failed in life drug addict jail bird. Povetkin is an olympic gold winner and a future professional heavy weight world champion, once he kicks Wilder's butt. There is no comparison between these two.

    As long as you didn't vote with the IDKSAB minority, such as the poster above, you're ok. :good

    ...with some of the worst cases of the disease being seen in those with the KlitTuardism strain.

    Did you read the part where he was claimed to be the bigger and scarier version of Tyson and would destroy Klitschkos with ease? :rofl

    I think you need to rewatch the first part of Tyson's career.

    You're clearly missing something if you think Ibeabuchi was as good as Tyson. Whatever man, let's just say agree to disagree.

    I don't believe that anyone actually said that Ibebuchi was better than Tyson.
    What I think was said is that Ibeabuchi was tyson-like in his intensity and the speed/power of his punches.
    Because of Ike's granite chin, Tyson-Ibeabuchi would have been a great fight. :yep
