      He's the last great HW fighter that had the potential to be another Tyson or Holyfield fighter caliber.

        To me, he was a Foreman type slugger, hardly a boxer at all.

          He was fast for a heavyweight I think he could have been the next big thing in the Heavyweight division, he had devastating power and fans like that.

            He would have been a real nigerian nightmare unlike we know who.

              I think he would have beaten Lewis. The way he stood toe toe with Tua impressed me, even though this could have been the reason he lost his marbles. My dad and i used to argue about this, even though back then i was rooting for Lewis, as i gotten older i realized this man was the complete package..good chin, speed power, stamina. He would, has someone said earlier, been the real nightmare for any fighter who faced him. Most ppl run away from Tua's power this man made Tua run.

                  Ibeabuchi was good, not great...18 of his 20 opponents were bums.

                  The Klitschkos are GREAT heavyweights.

                    Don't agree at all that he would have beaten Lewis. Lewis was really, really good
