What could have been with Ike Ibeabuchi

This might sound like hyperbole, but imagine a guy that was more devastating than Tyson, IMO, that also had an elite gas tank, and never faded, all while keeping the same punch output, and elite durability. That's who Ike was. its as if the universe/nature doesnt allow one fighter to ever have it ALL a fighter can have almost everything, but the law of nature always keeps him from having it all. if a boxer has speed, power and skills, he might have a glass jaw. if he has an iron chin, speed, skills, he might have pillow punching power. no 1 single fighter has EVERY attribute. but ike was one of those guys who may have slipped through the cracks. he seemingly had EVERY attribute. but then again, maybe it was his mind which was his flaw. so in the end the universe balanced itself out as usual. gerald mclellan was another boxer who seemed to have it all. skills, ATG power, and an iron chin. the universe always finds a way to balance itself out though as we all know how he ended up...

That's who Ike was. omg,,youve got to be kidding me I hope. ike was strong and had potential but him going life and death with david tua hardly makes him more devastating than tyson who was much quicker and more elusive than tua

I personally think if he didn't go crazy, he runs the HW division for as long as his prime was supposed to be, and still holds onto the undisputed moniker for a long while after. strong,,,durable with amazing stamina but only average hand and foot speed and never dealt with a good long jab in his face so its hard to say imo

I looked him up on boxrec and I saw nothing that would indicate he would rule the heavyweights during his prime years if he had stayed out of trouble. He won 20 fights with no loses and 15 KOs. He only fought two top heavyweights and they were Tua who he beat by close ud. and Byrd who he KOed in 5 rounds. Those are the only wins he had that mean anything and that hardly makes him a sure thing for the heavyweight world title.

He was a very good fighter but a very bad person. He may or may not have ruled the heavyweights if he had controlled himself and dedicated himself to boxing. I am glad things went the way they did. The K brothers are both good fighters and good people. It's possible one or both of them would have been able to beat a prime Ibeabuchi. He had some close wins and was not unbeatable. I am not saying I am glad he is in jail but he put himself there. I would rather the heavyweight champ be someone I like and admire. Any version of Vitali definitely beats Ike, young Wlad might have had problems. The two biggest wins for Ike were v small heavies who he could get up close and brawl with. Tua and Byrd would be unlike the brothers for obvious reasons. Vitali would use his size and awkwardness to break down Ike and stop him late or win a decision, and current Wlad would probably also stop him late after landing a ****-ton of crushing jabs and probably clinching...although Ike was strong as an ox. In any case, Ike didn't have a notable win v any huge guys so there's no real basis for saying he could beat the Klitschkos' or Lewis.

Ike v lewis was the 1st superfight i never got

Is he out of jail or not? There was reports that he was out but then they said no. Still in jail. Just looked it up. Says he was transferred to another prison.

He was legit. Would have been the man when Lewis retired. He would've beat Lewis, and I know that with every fiber of my being. OK, not every fiber of my being, but I'd have him as the odds on favorite.

would have been caught on one of the numerous of steroids he was on
