    Same size. Similar power, arguably more for Rahman.

    Rahman has the better jab, defense, and right cross. Way more experience. Just as strong. Better ring tactician.

    Only thing Ike has over him is chin and a high volume work rate.

    well boxing is subjective.
    I disagree with most of what you said there.

    Like I said I disagree with most of what you said.

    If you see it that way there is little for me to say to make you think otherwise.

    Well power in essence is a function of speed and timing both of which I favor Ibeabuchi.
    Their jab and right crosses are similar as singular punches but really I dont see Rahman putting them together as good as often as Ibeabuchi.
    Both had leaky defenses only Ike could take it better than Rock.
    To me it s a no brainer who would win between the 2.
    Maybe I am underrating Rahman a bit but he always looked forced to me when boxing.
    Dont get me wrong,I enjoyed his career-quite a few thrilling nights there.But I class Ibeabuchi higher-he seemed a sirt of freak.Which turns out he was but in a different way.
    Naturally Rahman had a better resume.

    When did you see Kirk Johnson " Doing it to him" I was there the whole time Ike & Kirk were in Dallas/FtWorth I never saw that. What an imagination you have

    Rahman def had a heavy jab and lateral movement in a way that Ike didn't.

    Rahman WHEN he used his jab was impressive with it.
    Vut as with his conditioning it was inconsistent.Many a time it was just a oprn door for his opponents right cross.
    Was never impressed with his lateral movement.

    Ibeabuchi was no joke and he could beat any or all of them but I would only favor him against Baer and Carnera,

    Surprised there isn’t more variation in how people think he would fare against Dempsey, Schmeling, Charles, and Marciano. Seems like people think he either beats all of them or none of them.
