AJ vs Prime Ike Ibeubuci in a war!

What ever happened to him? Last time i heard, they were trying to deport him to Nigeria?

I strongly suggest you - and everybody else, for that matter - to get this book.

I agree in principle, but to this day I believe that Ibeabuchi is the quintessential "What if?" case. While I did see flaws in both McClellan and (especially) Valero, I'm inclined to believe that Ibeabuchi would have beaten every opponent on his way to the top of the heavyweight division. He was that good, all around.

The way he destroyed Chris Byrd was impressive.

Indeed.

Speaking of McClellan again, what appears unbelievable is that he lost to the same Dennis Milton who lasted less than two minutes against Julian Jackson...

[Joe Grizzley]

Ibeabuchi knocks Joshua out, one way or another.

He stood to ferocious bombs by David Tua without problems, and trapped elusive Chris Byrd to disintegrate him in less than five rounds.

If AJ trades, he's getting knocked out early. If he starts running, his tank will be empty soon enough for the President to catch him mid-rounds.

Ibeabuchi was a skilled heavyweight who happened to punch very hard.

Good points about Byrd. I agree, Ike gets AJ out of there.

Ike wins imo. AJ fights scared now.

I was at Ike/Tua fight in 97. Best heavyweight fight Ive ever seen in my life!

- - Seems like the usual anthropoids never figured out Ike was ruined by Tua.

AJ has yet to be ruined in a record setting career.

Yes, someone links Ibeabuchi's bizarre behavior to possible CTE symptoms as a consequence of Tua's many blows on Ike's head during their fight.

AJ did take some heavy shots from some of his opponents. Hopefully he won't suffer the consequences in the years to come. Genetics could play a part sometimes... look at George Chuvalo, he took hellacious blows throughout his career yet he started showing their effects only very later in life.
