    I actually like the Bowe, who promised a lot in 1992, to give Ibeabuchi a bit of a shoeing.

    His defense was not his strong suit but it definitely was not terrible early on when he was with Futch. By the time he fought Golota his defense was non existent. He was never stopped as a pro.

    What makes you think Bowe would be stronger than Ike?

    I doubt Bowe was even as strong as Tua

    Ike had a massive frame and was wider at the shoulder than Bowe ... He was shorter than Bowe but was about the same weight and may have even been a bit heavier than Bowe

    Ike was an excellent in-fighter. He would win the inside battle. Bowe was a dirty cheap shot artist, especially on the inside. Bowe would have to fight from the outside if he has any change of winning. Even then, to be on the outside of Ike's long rangy right hand is no man's land. Ike had great stamina too. I like Ike in this one by UD.

    This is too lopsided in Bowe’s favour, Ike had a great chin, great stamina, strong and a good puncher, Bowe was wide open defensively, this is a hell of a lot closer fight than this poll!!

    Ike arguably beat better comp if you take away Evander, Just food for thought.

    Boxing is a science, Hardly any need for strength at all.
    In what way would strength be applicable at all in a boxing match?
    Its a non factor.

    Bowe decision would be the safe money IMO.
