Ike Ibeabuchi vs Vitali Klitschko

[beez721]

I'm not going to comment on the fight itself but I'll say this: Ike Ibeabuchi, although he never won a major belt, will be higher thought of in years to come than either Klitschko brother who HAVE won belts. Both Klitschko's have failed in one way or another, where as Ike never had the chance to prove himself further.

I'm not hating, I'm just being real.

its your opinion but far from fact. both klits espescially wlad has wins over several top 10 fighters including a 48-3 with 43 ko's and 2 world titles. ikes resume doesnt even come close to comparing and hed also likely have a couple losses if he fought as often. to say ike will be thought of in higher regards simply becuase he didnt lose a fight and had potential is laughable

One more thing. Wladimir struggled to death with Sam Peter. Ike = Sam Peter WITH BOXING SKILLS. Ike destroys Wlad early and probably takes Vitali out late.

struggled with peter? please,,,he won every friggin round and 2 of the 3 knockdowns were total bull****. he won that fight handily at a time when he was still a mental mess and to suggest otherwise is laughable but what else can you expect from a rahman/toney fan thats still in mourning

I have seen 10 ike fights and i think he could beat wlad, ike was a monster who had good skills, actual watch the byrd fight and you will see this the tua fight he decided to slug it out with tua, i cant see wlad winning, i think wlad is massive overate him self, i think ike's wins over tua and byrd are better than any of wlads wins and you have to remember that there is no way wlad could take the pace of that ike tua fight and could he take a big strong guy like ike coming at him the hole of the fight, plus i dont think wlad has the power to ko ike, plus i dont think wlad has the chin to take a big ike shot. i dont think ike is a great just cant see ever of the klits beating him.

Vitali by close decision, neither fighter would be knocked out.

sorry i thought it was ike vs wlad, ike vs vitali would be a tough one to call, but idont see vitali knocking him clean out

[duffgun]

Nah. Wlad would kill this awkward, squared=up telegraph-punching hype job. It would be easy

thats funny cos that sounds jst like wlad.

How would Vitali clean his clock when a prime Tua couldn't? Bear in mind Tua hit him with a huge amount of bombs. The Tua fight was only Ike's 17th fight and he still landed more shots anyway. The fact is Ike was improving all the time. We seen it in his fight with Byrd. Ike had a lot of tools. Tua is a fighter I've always liked but he was shown up for his lack of fundamentals against Lewis and Byrd. Ike was a smart fighter as well as having the physical goods, that's why Tua failed against the best; he's simply not a smart fighter.

Vitali Klitschko has power, but it's more of a wear the other guy down over many rounds power, rather than sheer brute force. Danny Williams has a lot of heart and I admire him as a man and as a professional greatly, but Klitschko couldn't finish him off in his fight with him. I believe the likes of Ike, Tua and an older Tyson in form would have finished Williams earlier.

Ibeabuchi Is Faster And Stronger And Has A Better Chin And Was An Extremly Technical Fighter With A Great Trainer In Curtis Cokes..he Whent To The Body And The Head And Had Uppercuts..on Some Real **** The Klitisckos Wouldnt Even Fight Him unless he was he undisputed champion... and the only way they could possibly win would be by knockout ike was oo fas strong and technical to loose a decision to any slower fighters

a ko to sanders. nothing to dwell on - unless your a hater. i recall great heavies like foreman, ali, and lewis getting ko'd as well. your point is nullified.

1) a ko to sander a golf player is something to dwell on. Who the hell did ever Sanders beat?

2) Foreman was KOed by Muhammad ****in' Ali

Ali's corner stopped the bout when a 39 years old Ali (who already showed symptoms of Parkinsons) stepped in the ring with a prime all time great HW in Larry Holmes.

I will give you Lewis, but Lewis also avenged all his KO losses in devastating fashion and tore down one of the greatest HW divisions ever.

3) nullified??? it looks to me like you didnt nullify anything... you forgot to nullify his KO losses to Purrity and Brewster (and this is even admitting that a KO loss to Sanders is "nothing to dwelll on").
