    Both very big heavyweights, 6'3 238 lbs (Ike) and 6'4 240lbs (Golota) with intimidating looks and a lot of disconnected wires in their head.

    They were both incredibly gifted which showed in terms of handspeed, combinations, fluidity and movement. Who would you say was more talented, not talking about chin/mentality?

    Indeed. Ibeabuchi is SO grossly overrated by boxing fans, off of just TWO fights against live bodies - that comparing him to a top contender like Golota IS ridiculous. :nod

    Ibeabuchi's best wins (Tua, Byrd) are better than Golota's.

    The punch that Ibeabuchi dropped Byrd with hurt so much that Byrd didn' even know he was hurt. Saying that Golota had a little bit more athletic talent.

    Watch Golota pummel the same Bowe that just stopped Holyfield in 8 around the ring.... twice... and come back to me. Back in his day he had great potential. Just like Ibeabuchi.

    Golota did well against a washed up Bowe. Golota was KO'd in under 70 seconds twice, and was KO'd by Michael Grant. Golota was decent HW challenger, that's it.

    Sorry Mr. but Golota never ever was gifted in movement and fluidity.

    Ibeabuchi takes that cake by far. I would name Golota the most overrated fighter of the 90´es an 2000´es.

    wouldnt it be more interesting to ask who was the bigger nutcase????

    one is a cannibal with a longing for testicals.

    the other a crazy dude abusing strippers.......

    okay, okay........golota takes this!

    That's true, but as i said, this is not about who is the better fighter, but rather who was more gifted in terms of boxing abilities.

    At the age of I think 29 and that point in his career its quite a stretch to say Bowe was washed up..

    Bowe was washed up after Golota gave him brain damage.
