    Ike Ibeabuchi - what could he have done?!

    I read this interview with him today, and first and foremost I must say.. he is extremely articulate and a well spoken.

    Did his mental illness prevent him from becoming a huge name in boxing? How much potential do people think he had? He was an absolute monster!

    Would have held the belts that Ruiz and Byrd had but would have had a hard time with Lewis and the Klits.

        Too much. I miss him. I see a lot of people saying he's now become overrated over time but I disagree. Ibeabuchi was the only legit contender to Lewis' crown and would have gotten that opportunity if he had beaten Michael Grant in his next bout (which he almost certainly would have).

              Ike would have been a world champion for sure. There is no way David Haye would have lasted with him and Wlad would have had his work cut out fighting him.

                Ike is a lot like Corrie Sanders minus the talent.
