If ibeabuchi never got locked up, how much competition would he give the Klitchkos?

    I liked Ike's style, his fight against Byrd was really good it was a better fight than Vitali vs Byrd (not hating on Vitali). We will never know how good Ike could have been but thats his own fault.

      Agreed. I thought he was the next world champ - can you believe he was slated to fight Michael Grant next? He would've killed him and the hype would've been unstoppable.

      I still have five of Ike's fights on DVD. He was a special fighter. Maybe his flaws hadn't been exposed yet but I didn't see any.

        Ike goes nowhere but down against Vit, though he'd certainly make that fight an entertaining one. Against Steward's version of Wlad, he gets picked apart thoroughly. I don't think he gets inside nearly enough for his power to mean a damn thing. Wlad from 6-7 years ago would be in trouble against Ike though. He brings more fury than the HW contenders around now, but he's still another guy who's stuck on the end of a bunch of 1-2s and tied up inside until he gets frustrated and stopped.

          Sorry, he brings a lot more than fury compared to today's HW's. He brings skill, something most of them lack.

            I'm not saying fury is all he brings, just that that's his strongest asset. Ike fought hard under all circumstances, whether he was in control or having trouble. I think he puts up a fight, but loses to both Klits.

            And the HW's today have basic boxing skills, they're just oversized and low as molasses.

              YOU ARE TRYING to run in circles. I told you that i thought tua was the more effective of the 2. MY out look on that fight was who's more effective. whos landing the more meaningful blows. NOT who's controling the ring & using ring generalship. if you try to run in circles with this agian I'm gonna IGNORE it. because I've adressed it 100 times over & it's becoming repetitive & SICK.

              next.


              "tua was war worn and no longer the same a year later. lmfao"

              YOU'RE QOUTING SOMETHING THAT CAME DIRECTLY OUT OF YOUR PINK HAIRY A** HOLE. I NEVER SAID THAT.

              I said that tua after the ike bout was a lot more war torn then he was entering that fight. (he wasn't a all around WAR TORN fighter after the bout) he had been in one HELL of a fight though. A fight like that will take something out of any fighter. & he was undefeated going into that bout. my point was you couldn't compare tua who was FRESHER, undefeated (been in NO brutal wars) to the tua that fought rahman....BUT STILL KNOCKED OUT RAHMAN LOL

              maskaev wasn't a brutal war u ******?? (although maskeaev was a GOOD fighter & went on to ko rahman)


              YOUR OWN WORDS (AND THIS IS SIG WORTHY)


              izon-tua was just as brutal as tua-ike in fact.


              WHOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAH MAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHA!!!! HAHIBE*)N@)HN+@!!!



              now i KNOW you are a BAFOON lol
              you're the one running in circles and misrepresenting what the other person is saying.

              ****ing buffoon.

              did you ever see izon-tua?

              that was a brutal fight as well.

              i didn't say maskaev-tua was a war. i said maskaev gave him problems early.

              seriously you are one dumb truck.

                you are a IDIOT who has no brain of your own. if everyone else is following something you QUICKLY follow it too without a thought.

                get your *own* individual brain.
                dude , weren't you the one asking for "proof" about fights?

                you were asking for articles and **** earlier.

                now you don't care what other people say because "you have your own individual brain"?

                lmao

                    No, fury is not his strongest asset. His skill was. He wasn't furious against Byrd, for instance. He was patient, boxed on even terms with Byrd from the outside and worked his way in using the damn near extinct crab defense to get inside. And he was only 20 fights into his pro career when he knocked Byrd into next week. He would've only gotten better.

                      Rahman should have won the second fight actually
                      that idiot americanbot doesn't get it.

                      a slugfest and war is what tua wants.

                      when it's toe to toe , it's going well for tua.

                      when there's not much action and the opponents is boxing and jabbing , it's not going well for tua.


                      but of course the moron thinks if tua won by tko/ko , it was an easy fight.
