What could have Ike Ibeabuchi become?

Yeah they have, and nobody (at least not me) is saying they suck. They're better than average. They are NOT great, and not on the same level as a prime Lennox Lewis, and imho prime Ike beats prime Lennox.

Wlad got beat by merely decent fighters. Not flukes, he didn't get caught cold, he got his ass kicked, plain and simple. Vitali imho is much the better brother, but Vitali again was going to get KTFO by a way past his best Lewis. They're good, solid champs, but Ike was a serious talent and would have went thru them like a hot knife thru warm butter.

 

Vitali was ready to knock Lewis out in the next round, but the doctor stopped fight on a cut. Lewis was staggered more than once and had a broken nose, perhaps they should have stopped fight? Lewis lied about rematch, retired rather than fight Vitali for huge money. Even Max Kellerman said that Lewis was done for. He was sitting right behind Lewis' corner. Max had been a well known Klitschko hater. Angelo Dundee said that Klitschko was cheated out of the WBC title that night. Dundee was a great cut man. You can't stand it because Klitschkos keep beating all your heroes. It's called frustration. Hell, I can watch Klitschko fight and see how good they are. Emanuel Steward was threatened because he trained Vlad!!!!!!! Why was that?

 

Are you a Dr as well now Farm? The only thing that cheated Vitali out of that title was the Jenna Jameson sized vagina cut on his cro magnon brow.

Vitali landed everything he had on an all time career high weight, past it Lennox Lewis.

Rahman and McCall had similar openings and KTFO'd him.

It was Vitali who got caught with the bigger shots in the round preceeding the stoppage, his eye sure wasn't getting any better.

The frustration I sense in your posts is that everyone doesn't automatically say Vitali is the greatest or Wlad is the greatest.

That's because there's only room for one undisputed world champ and you can't split heirs to the throne.

 

You need to watch that fight again. Vitali was eating some HUGE shots, that uppercut Lewis landed is one of the most vicious shots I've ever seen someone take and still be standing, so kudos to Vit for having a hell of a chin. That being said, Vit was hurt bad and he was getting hurt worse. Lewis was going to knock him the **** out, and you have to be doing some serious nuthugging to not be able to see that, because it was pretty damned obvious.

 

That fight could have gone either way that was what was obvious, but lewis won and he was not near his best so in many ways it was a wasted chance from VK

 

Early it looked that way, yes, but Lewis was absolutely and clearly taking over the fight. It cannot be denied, it's true the same way the sky is blue and the grass is green. I don't dislike Vitali and I'm far from a Lewis nuthugger. These are simple facts.

 

NO they are not dumb ass. that is why needed the rematch:nut

 

And Ikeabuchi was just another over rated African Warrior who archieved next to ****:yep:rofl

 

ibeabuchi had excellent defense and offense.
but I don't think he could beat klitschko brothers...
he just beat byrd and tua... that's all what he done.

he should have fought a few more aggressive guys like tim witherspoon or ray mercer.
then we could see how he fight against those opponents who have toughness, speed, solid punches.

 

Finally a voice of reason. Tua and Byrd really challenged Ike. He had a lot of goods but was slower than Lewis or the Klitschkos. Tua would have never been able to control range like Lewis or the Klits, he engaged in a slugfest with Tua because he had no tools to keep a little man at distance. The Tysons or Ibeabuchis of the world also would never have created a long successful career like Lewis or Wlad because of their mental deficits. The mental makeup to stay out of trouble in life and really focus on boxing is a talent in itself, something that Ike never had.
