Ike Ibeabuchi v Oliver McCall...who wins/breaks down and how

[PainfromUkraine]

Thought of this funny match up for the 90s, two "mentally troubled" gentlemen who certainly had some ups and downs in their careers but brought some special things to the table, McCall with his adamantium chin and 'The President' with his busy workrate, power, and raw athleticism, as well as a good chin. Who wins this one and how?

On a side note, who also breaks down first and how/when/why

Ike wins because he's better at everything

Technically yes, but I am not convinced that he could knock McCall out, in fact i'm almost sure he wouldn't be able to, but you never know due to each man's mental weaknesses, what could happen. In any case, McCall had beaten Lewis so he had the capability to beat people generally favoured over him on a given night. Funny matchup though, probably would have gone like the Ike v Tua battle.

Jesus Chrst....another rookie?

A prime Ike whips the **** out of both K bros.....let alone a crybaby.

Good one.

Ike's workrate was too much for McCall, he'd easily outpoint him every round. But he's not dropping Oliver no matter how much damage he dishes out. Ike by UD

what is all this mental weakness you speak of when it comes to Ike? Getting into trouble outside the ring doesnt make you mentally weak in the ring. He hasnt shown that inside the ring. He also doesnt have to knock McCall out. He could easily shut him out over 12 rounds.

McCall is good but the Lennox stuff wasnt much differnt then the Rahman fight. Its not like he killed Lennox. He caught him with one shot. He wasnt have the fighter Lennox was and would only win 1 out of a hundred times

McCall took Lewis' best shots while already mentally broken. He has the greatest chin of all time.

That is a legit prediction, I think you are totally right there, as I said I envisage it being similar to Ike v Tua. The fun in this matchup is that although you know Ike is the superior boxer in most facets, you just can't predict either man's mentality, thus the interest in predictions or even consideration of this matchup.

I get what you're saying, just I am imagining this as being Ike's next bout, so i'm just making a guess that his problems (which began around that time outside of the ring and began to get worse) would cause him trouble in the ring eventually, such as Tyson's decline. I don't mean it in the same way as McCall, crying in the ring. Hope you get what i'm aiming at.
