Tyson never had a prime. He got exposed in every stage. He was in a weak era.
Lol yeah but Ike Ibeabuchi had a prime? Tyson beat really talented fighters like Tony Tucker, Razor Ruddock, Tyrell Biggs ect. I am done typing to you. Clearly you are one of those people who doesn't like Mike Tyson so will find anything you can to discredit him ( This is from a guy who can't stand Mike Tyson but is honest and fair) Bye bye, go troll for attention from somebody else.
I think Ike is all wrong for Tyson for very similar reasons as Holyfield was.
For me Foreman, Ike, Holyfield are just all wrong for Mike from a stylistic standpoint.
Who cares? Lol Mike Tyson was still past his prime and still won by 1 punch knockout. So because Tyson took some rounds to knockout a guy when Mike was past his prime that means something? If you want to use your logic Ike struggled with Marion Wilson a guy with a losing record. Ike couldn't knockout 300 pound butterball Anthony Wade. Ike beat Tua and he beat small Chris Bryd and that was it with his career. Also the last time I checked Buster Douglas didn't fight anything like Ike. Also you do realize boxers lose right? If you get in the ring enough somebody is bound to figure you out. Ike only had 20 bouts. If he fought longer he would of got expose and beat.

Yeah not before he fractured Botha's arm, bit Holy twice, got smacked around by no hoper Douglas. Always an excuse from Tyson fans.

Right a past his prime Tyson was getting outboxed by Botha and then knocked him out with one punch? Your point is? Because you type lol you think it makes you seem knowledgeable ?

I am not a Tyson fan and his fanboys do hype him up to much but you are doing the same thing with Ibeabuchi. He beat Tua and Byrd and that is it. Tua struggled against Jeff Wooden for crying out loud. Wooden should of gotten the nod. Byrd was skilled but a natural 180 pound guy. Tyson beat guys like Ruddock who were just as good if not better than Ike. .
He was getting outboxed by Botha lol
Ike beats Tyson. Ike was a legit maniac who soaked all of Tua's shots too. Too many Tysondickriders around the world. He couldn't handle a 40 year old Holyfield.

Poor Tua if he was arpund today he would be a champ. Same woth Razor Ruddick
Razor Ruddock, Tommy Morrison, ect would of been champs if they were around today.

Tua vs Tyson was the fight I most wanted in the late 90's. After Ike's fight with Tua he was never the same.
How so? He won his next 3 fights by knockout including a KO over Chris Byrd.
Tua is a nightmare matchup for Tyson.
The fact that Ike won that Tua fight means he will definitely beat Tyson. Tyson wilts when a bull locks horns with him. Ike would lock horns and fight on the inside. He already took Tua's power for 12 rounds. he would make Tyson quit by 8
I would have favoured Tua at that point also. Tua had an iron chin to go with his insane punch power. Tyson was always dangerous early but the later the fight goes the worse it would have gotten for Tyson.
On the flip side I would take prime late eighties Tyson against prime Tua. I think the speed advantage for Tyson would have been too much for Tua.
Yes definitely think prime tyson too fast and defence was excellent too .
Great fight, tough to predict. Ibeabuchi had an amazing fight with Tua, whose built similarly to Tyson. Tyson in his prime was a machine, but struggled with fighters who wouldn’t immediately fold. Ibeabuchi was not getting kod in a he first rd.
Toss up fight because Prime Tyson was a beast.
Razor Ruddock did not immediately disappear, and Ruddock had comparable power to both Tua & Ibeabuchi 'Ruddock was one of the biggest punchers of the 90's'.
But also must understand? Mike Tyson himself in any fight, win or lose never just disappeared 'He always showed extreme resistance until the fight was done'.
Even a Mike Tyson in the 90's had a better defense than both Tua & Ibeabuchi, a peak Mike Tyson or should we say 'A late 80's Mike Tyson beats both Tua & Ibeabuchi maybe even by stoppage.
A 90's Mike Tyson for me beats Ibeabuchi, it does not matter who you are? You cannot be there to be hit consistently by Mike Tyson.
Ibeabuchi displayed allot of great attributes vs Tua, but both of their defenses was overrated 'Tyson also skill for skill, is a more complete fighter'.
But for sure this is a great match up, so much attitude etc
