Prime for Prime: Vitali vs. Ike Ibeabuchi

. I love Manny, but he is the king of hype and quotes. If you followed him through the years, you would know not to put any stock in his quotes. Come on now...

 

so why did lewis avoid him?

 

the quote was said on record and there was no hype about it. He clearly stated that him and lewis were going to avoid him. And it was a good move, lewis would have lost. And btw, tua lost that fight. you want me to send you that fight so you can see for yourself?

 

:happy :happy

 

Are you ******ed? Lewis avoid him? How the **** did he do that? Do you even know what years Ike was active and what Lennox was doing at that time? Damn, do some homework.

 

I have the Tua fight on dvd and many think he won as well.

On record? Everything Manny says on record. And everything has hype behind it. It is boxing. It goes exactly like he thought it was goign to go.

 

Lewis was too busy fighting Holyfield for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.

 

nothing is going to change the fact that ike would have beaten your boy on that avatar of yours man. But why am I arguing with a clearly biased fan again? but to answer your question about what lewis was doing at that time, it looked he was fighting scrubs like briggs, golota, and akinwade. Were those bigger threats than ike? Is that what you are trying to tell me? Maybe someone else needs to do the homework around here.

 

what kind of hype is there in someone saying they are avoiding a fighter because they think he is a threat? can you explain that too me?

 

really? cause it looked like lewis was too busy fighting briggs, golota, akinwade too me. But dont get me wrong, him losing to ike before fighting holyfield prolly wouldnt have landed him the unification so it looks like listening to manny was the right idea.

 

Ok so you said ike had stamina to go only 4-5 rounds. His fight with tua proves otherwise. Then you said He was the most overrated heavy with golota, so you compared the two.

All I am going to say is that noone knocks out ibeabuchi. He reminded me a lot of atomic bull with his chin. Except he had skills. Doenst matter I guess, were living in hypothetical world so nobody can prove anyone wrong on this one. But your statement about his stamina was dumb. Sorry your so sensative, maybe when you say something dumb I will just let it go like its the truth. rofl.

 

Because Vitali beat so many fighters of Ikes caliber

Byrd, a better and faster counterpuncher than Vitali was taken out in 5 roudns by Ike.

 

HBO had Ike ahead 3 rounds to 1 against Byrd and I had it the same, he was not "losing." Also, Tua is limited against BOXERS who use movement and stick and move. Against PUNCHERS Tua was nearly ATG caliber
