If Ibeabuchi didnt go to prison, he could have fought Holyfield for the Vacant WBA Heavyweight Title in 2000 which would have been a massive fight at the time, Ibeabuchi would be coming of a big win over chris byrd, and holyfield would be coming of his 2 defeats over lennox lewis. the fight would make sense for both as a win over holyfield would prove that ibeabuchi was world class and would bring him very close to fight with lewis, and a win for holyfield would bring him right back into the picture for the undisputed title. at that point in his carrier does holyfield have enough to deal with Ibeabuchi pressure or can Ibeabuchi get a knockout on the faded or though not completely finished Holyfield. ???

I think the plan was going to be Michael Grant and then Lewis. As for Holyfield, I think he [Ibeabuchi] would have out-worked him.
