Would Ike Ibeabuchi be undisputed champion right now?

I respect your opinion my man. But Im gonna hold on to my notion that experience would trump workrate. Im not saying Im right and you're wrong, its just my opinion.

i understand.

i respect your opinion as well and i can see holyfield doing what you said too.

if holyfield fights the right gameplan he could win an easy decision with his skills.

for some reason i just think holyfield (with his big heart) will go punch for punch with ike , if not all the time then at least a lot of times , and that could give ike his chance.

ike is extremely overrated. tyson would have destroyed him aswell as lewis, vitali, and possibly holyfield.

Probably. I think Tua scrambled his egg pretty good. I doubt he would have gotten any better, but who knows for sure. I am convinced however that he didn't have the mental stability to reign long had he won a title.

from what i read ike has always been not there but the tua fight really made him worse.

after the tua fight he kept complaining of constant migraines and his actions became crazier and crazier.

i think he had a screw loose pre-tua but after the tua fight that screw got completely knocked off.

before he ****d and took hostage that hooker , he also kidnapped his nephew or girlfriend's son or something and crashed a car with him in it.

only people getting paid off prevented him from going to jail on that occassion.

even if he got away with raping that hooker , something else would have eventually turned up.

the guy was never really there but after the tua fight he was completely nuts.

Im pretty sure he wanted (insisted) his team and people in the gym to refer to him as "Mr. President" as well. The guy was definitely a few cans short of a six pack.

If Ike Ibeabuchi was never imprisoned, would be be the undisputed champ right now?

He would have been one of best Klits contenders and that's it.

He had a war wih Tua,but that dont make him a lineal champ.Tua was outboxed by Chris Byrd way better than Ike did.It's just Tua,a scary beast,but a guy who lost his bigger fights.

wouldnt shock me

Holyfield was past it by the time Ike would have been in with him, Holyfield looked poor against Ruiz i cant see him beating Ike at that point a prime Holyfield is a different story though. I would pick Ike over any of the heavyweights of the 00's except Lewis and the Klits as we dont know how well he would have done against tall fighters. Anyway the way he smashed Byrd who went onto be one of the top heavyweights of the 00's shows that he would have been at least a top 10 heavyweight of the 00's.

tua whooped his ass.



go collect your nuts.

No. Not at all.

Aren't you bored of really pathetic posts like that?

[SplitSecond]

Part in parcel with this question is IF he wasn't bat **** insane. He was so he was going to melt down at some point.

Let's say he doesn't assault a pro and allegedly try to do an exorcism on her (in other words he stays out of trouble for a little while but stays insane). Lewis wasn't in a hurry to fight him; he's said he didn't want to fight Ike unless forced. He was already showing weight flux by the Byrd fight and, in being forced to wait, he might have let himself go enough to get beat.

If he stays in shape, he had the tools to beat anyone. Wlad pre-Steward would have been wrecked (post-Steward is a little more effective in being a timid if smart giant and could probably last rounds but I still favor Ike because he had balls). Vitali would have been interesting but the faster, more athletic pressuring Ike could have done with two hands what Corrie Sanders couldn't but made interesting with one.

So, in a world where Ike was just less crazy enough to stay on track, yes, he could have been the man.
