Mike Tyson(prime) vs Ike Ibeabuchi

[dc6112]

Would a prime Tyson lose to Ibeabuchi? I never saw Ibeabuchi fight. Maybe some of the vets on here can shed some light on this question. All I know is Ike was undefeated, 6'4, and a maniac who is still in prison.

Ibeabuchi had Tua land on his chin consistently for 12 rounds without blinking.

I don't think Tyson stops him, but I do think he wins 8/10

No ! A Prime Tyson when Cus was alive and under Kevin Rooney Slipping and Bob weaving style can beat any Heavyweight in History. Watch Cus on Youtube he states if Tyson stay focus he would become the greatest Heavyweight of all time. Guess What Cus Died Tyson went to Don King and it was all down hill from there

Tyson would stop him, but it could be a tough fight. I think Ruddock was a bigger puncher.

When I'd only seen the Byrd and Tua fight, I thought Ibeabuchi was something special, but that impression was undermined by some of the other fights I saw him in. Also, Ike is 6'2", not 6'4".

Tyson would win. Even if Tyson didn't knock him out (and I think there is a high likelihood he would), he would land punches on Ibeabuchi far easier than Ibeabuchi would on Mike. Mike was much faster than Ibeabuchi. Ike would have a reach advantage, but he wasn't the type of fighter who would make good use of it.

I agree with that. Tyson's defense was exceptional in his prime and his speed would present a real problem. Tyson by KO.
