    Yeah Lewis would give him a completely different look than those guys. If Lewis fought cautiously I think he'd take a decision in that affair. He'd really have to capitalize on his height advantage, mix it up with some uppercuts inside.

    The myth that is Ike...ahhh...too bad we never got to find out if he was for real.

      He's also the most overrated fighter whoever laced up the gloves. I'm sick of his delusional ****ing fans talking about how he would own the world if he wasn't in prison.

      Tua deserved the nod.
      Are you kidding me?

      I agree with Ibeabuchi being overrated, but you're insane if you think he didn't fight beautifully against Tua, and won. Insane.

        I scored the fight 115-113 for Tua.

        All Ike did in the later rounds was plod forward, throw jab then clinch much like Rahman did when he lost and was luckily awarded a draw.

        Tua stifled him with accurate hooks.

        He should be 2-0 against Rahman and have the W against Ike.

          That's crazy, bro.

          I got that fight on TIVO. I swear, I'm looking at it RIGHT NOW.

          Tua only got off in the last seconds of the later rounds, on some shoeshining ****.

          Tua would get KO'd by Herbie Hide. ( )

            Tyson's committment to boxing ended even before he went to prison. Partially I think because there was basically no one left for him fight or anything to prove and he was tired of all of the training and everything. He knew he could make huge money just doing boxing part time but also I think losing to Douglas really bothered him, I dont think in his mind he could ever actually lose.

              Yeah I'll have to rewatch the fight once again. Sighs.

              Just so I can see what everyone else saw. I watched it last month or something and was yelling at the screen as to why Tua lost.

                i was about to say tommy morrison but no i changed my mind.
                DLH was not over rated during the 90's. Look at his record from his Debut til 1999. He was beating loads of unbeaten fighters and fought everyone who was anyone during that period.

                  For me it's Lewis, the most over paid boxer in history compared to his ability.

                    You saw it on ESPN Classic last month, right? Thats what I taped it from. I don't know what you were seeing. I'm watching round 4. Tua is hardly landing any meaningful shots, and Ike is getting the best of him on the outside and inside. He didn't tire, neither. Even after Tua's late round flurries, he didn't back up. Just chipped away.

                      he did fight very well with tua and his stamina and work rate were nothing short of incredible for a big man but it was a very close fight. I remember scoring it a draw. not sure how anyone can think it was a clear victory for either guy. it was very close and could have gone either way. if anyone thinks otherwise they need to watch it again
