They don't come more overrated. Based on what they actually DID in the ring, this is a mismatch. Vitali beats the novice easily.
Hardly. Saw his career from start to finish. I've been following boxing since the late Ali era in the 70s. And in that time, there have been few HW whose accomplishments are more minimal compared with the supposed abilities fans attribute to them than Ibeabuchi. He's a mirage, a myth, a never-was whose actual accomplishments in the ring give NO indication he'd be remotely competitive with Vitali. Hell, based on what Ibeabuchi actually did, it's questionable whether he'd be competitive with Ruslan Chagaev!!!!
The President was the Klits worst nightmare. Had an iron chin, good power, but worst of all, very good stamina for a heavyweight. Definitely could of stopped Wlad mid fight or late in the fight and drawn with Vitali. Prime Ike was better than Peter or anyone either Klit had faced, with the exception of Lewis.
Ike Ibeabuchi by late TKO or Decision. Beating Prime David Tua and Byrd are better achievements than losing to Byrd , losing to Lewis - Win against old Sanders and Timo Hoffmann (Bum with heart) who gives Vitali a Hell of a Fight. If anyone is overrated here then Vitali but definitely not Ike.
