      Most heavyweights couldn't fight like that even if they were in phenomenal condition. Ibeabuchi and Tua were just beasts with exceptional chins as well as endurance.

        Vitali Klitschko would have defeated both.

          There's a good chance he would have outboxed Tua, but Ibeabuchi would have been much tougher. Ike would have been a nightmare for almost anyone. Endless punch output, power, chin, heart. It looked as though he was improving [skillwise] in the Byrd fight, too. Win, lose or draw, he would have been an absolute handful for anybody in history.

            I was thinking of making a thread about Ibeabuchi, with that fight/video as part of it. He was simply a beast of a man; ridiculous power, inhuman strength, endless stamina, chin forged from steel; the list goes on!

            Really is a shame he went nuts and ended up behind bars, he certainly looked like he could go a VERY long way. To be honest I think he'd have Vitali's number (with improvement and refinement obviously) but even at the last stage of his career he'd give anyone problems.

            I never get tired of the Byrd KO; saliva oozing out of his mouth with no idea where he is, after that impact that sounds like his head actually popped!

            That and when he takes 4 of Tuas left hooks in a row (i think its round 11).
