Sam Peter vs Ike Ibeabuchi

[snipes12]

OK Ike was good, but destroy LL and Holyfield, thats just crazy. He just barley got past Tua who LL destroyed. No one destroys Holy in his prime.

if ike fight holy after the byrd fight , ike can maybe win , coz holy was all washed up after the lennox fight which is in 1999 and in the early 00' holy was not effecttive anymore.

I agree with that!

Is Peter really his last name? I like that name. Is he a good boxer? Do they have any tape of him working out? I'd like to see that.

No the way names in Africa translate to English the last name and first name are reversed. HIs FIRST name is actually Peter. His last name is Puffer.

while Tyson was collecting all the belts at heavyweight Lewis was still getting his ass wiped by his mother, that ***** waited for tyson and holyfield to get old before he would dare get in the ring with them. and he avoided bowe big time, he wanted parity to fight the undisputed champ at the time, rediculous

he didn't wait for tyson to get old, he was still an amatuer boxer competing in the olympics when tyson was at his peak,when tyson lost to douglas lewis was barely a pro yet.

Peter's only workout is to see how many marshmallows he can lift in one hand and fit into his mouth and swallow with one gulp. Add a jar of hogfat to that and Viola.

Peter would have gotten destroyed by Ike. (I can never rally behind anyone who doesnt train seriously) Besides he hasnt beaten anyone yet that will make you raise an eyebrow and look at him as a contender. At least he keeps busy though fighting all the time which is more than we can say for some people who have championship belts at heavyweight.

[GOAT]

Lewis > Ibeabuchi > Peter

Edit: And Peter isn't in the same class as either of them.

Exactly. The fool who said that Ike would have detroyes Lewis and Holyfield back in '97 should be slapped. I liked Ike and thought he could give them fits, but lets not turn The President into some ****in norse myth or anything. His name was Ike not Zeus...

lol! So true. I blame Max Kellerman for the Ike mythology. He did an article on espn years ago in which he said Ike may have been the best heavyweight of all time. He based his opinion on two things:

1. Ike beat Tua


There are a couple problems with that argument:

(a) Since when did beating Tua turn someone into the best heavyweight of all time?, and

(b) Ike barely beat Tua: Tua came back strong after some early trouble, appeared to hurt Ike in the middle rounds and closed out strong, winning most if not all of the later rounds -- many observers, including the entire HBO cast, thought Tua won. Compare that to the completely one-sided boxing lesson that Tua received from Lewis.

2. Ike beat Chris Byrd in impressive fashion.

So did Wlad, and Vitali probably would too, if given a second chance. Nobody is lining up to call them the best heavyweights of all time. Andrew "52 Seconds" Golota drew with Byrd, and even Fres Oquendo appeared to beat him. It's just Chris Byrd, for Christ's sake. Was it a good win for an up and coming contender like Ike? Absolutely. Does it make Ike the best heavyweight in history? *****, please.
