It is depressing watching Ike Ibeabuchi

he wasnt going to be the same or more productive after the Tua fight. That fight took something from him. . Well it didn't show in the Byrd fight, if anything he was getting better, and learning more. he was still a novice in the Tua fight, that Byrd fight was only his 20th fight. he may have got even better.

oh yeah it is depressing . if he wasnt sent to jail we could have had another RAPIST HW champion .mike raped a miss america not a stripper , he has more class , tough fuck ike , he is nuts , he is a rapist , he is were he belongs .

He was charged with attempted sexual assault and battery of a stripper/call girl. Resisting arrest might have been a charge as well since the cops had to mace him to get him to leave his hotel bathroom. Was it attempted? I thought he was charged with actual rape

Ok read up a little more. Ike is due up for Parole again Dec. 2007 when he will be age 34.. I would be suprised if he is let out. He might be in there for years and years to come.

How awesome would it have been to see Ike vs Samuel Peter! two giant men in there! not so awsome Ike would make quick work of dick i mean peter

When does Ike get out of Jail? I know he gained a ton of weight so he likely won't return to the ring (or maybe he will b/c he has no other way to earn money) but does anyone know when he gets out? correction...Ike was rumored to be down to 260lbs. only 13 above his fighting weight. Is he out yet?

it would not have been as good as Ike Tua. Tua at that time was far more skilled than Peter. It just seems that Ike was a flash in the pan, and may not have been able to live up to the expectations.

He was going to be very good, he was already very good. I dont think he would have beaten Lewis. Lewis was too smart and accurate. The bottom line is that even if he didnt go to prison, he wasnt going to be the same or more productive after the Tua fight. That fight took something from him. You can argue that he was great in the Byrd fight, with the KO. He was there to be hit, Byrd just didnt have the power to get his respect, allowed Ike to swing for the fences. I agree but Ike's chin could take it and his style and power might have beaten Lewis. I think Lewis would have had trouble with Ike as he could function in the inside and the outside. Evander Holyfield however, as strange as this seems i think would have loved to fight Ike as Evander could have schooled ike, as he did Rahman.

u really wanna be saddened watch his fight with tua god damn one of the best HW fights ive seen both fruits can pack and take a punch

Yeah, he would have probably faced Lennox in 2000 had it not been for prison. A shame and one of the "we will never knows" of boxing!

Yeah, he definitely would have been great for boxing, he was the real deal. At first I didn't like him because he beat my man Tua, but I've learned to get over it and appreciate him for what he was lol

I concurr it is a shame....... :mad:
