Who was the best African heavyweight?

Johnny Ralph too, but the others achieved more.

Sanders, Coetzee or Foord I guess.

 

ibeabuchi would destroy coetzee easily h2h

 

Ibeabuchi and Sanders , swopabel wiz Sanders mor tested .
Ibeabuchi only hez de Tua (wich hi never won) end Byrd faits 2 hiz credit,
Sanders stopt Wladimir Klitschko , Bert Cooper , Al Cole end decijend Ross Puritty over 12 , samsing wich very fiu cud du .

 

An Ibeabuchi who is able to function in society, is a very average Heavyweight, who would not be able to beat Coetzer let alone Coetzee..

 

Likely Sanders

 

There's only one Super Southpaw.

 

Jimmy Abbott!

Even though he's often overrated as Hell, Ike was easily the best.

Ike would have beaten the living **** outta Sanders.

 

Based on what?

 

:think

 

He was nearly as barmy as Mr President, but hate him or loathe him 'Herbert Okechukwu Maduagwu' (Herbie Hide) should be in the debate.

 

Akinwanda too, he might beat the lot of 'em.

 

based on what? hahah cmon man do you want a war today with me?

he was bigger,stonger,hits harder, tougher, he took the shots from david tua during all the rounds... he wasa not robinson.. but he was good and srong enough to destroy this white african guy

 

Ike had potential but he only fought two decent HWs. He won a close decision over David Tua and he stopped Chris Byrd in the 5th round. Both of the wins are very impressive. He went toe to toe with Tua when nobody else would and he won. He went right thru Byrd and crushed him when few were able to land many good combos on him.

Sanders lost a few but he fought Rahman and both Klitschko's among others.

Izon stopped Savarese, Jefferson, and gave Tua hell before getting stopped. He made Grant look like he was going to be a superstar... that's not good.

Coetzee was hot and cold. He had some good KO wins but he also got the crap beat out of him a few times.

Coetzer had some skills but really got beat badly vs. Bowe, Foreman, and Bruno.

Peter looked like he had potential but he fizzled out in a hurry. He gave W. Klitschko hell in their first fight, W12 Klitschko. He stopped Maskaev. He didn't look great vs. Toney (1st fight) or McCline. he did beat Toney more convincingly in their rematch. He didn't look good in his losses to the V. Klitschko and W. Klitschko (2nd fight).

Akinwande was talented but sometimes hard to watch. If he would have let his hands go a bit more he could have been very dangerous.
