Ike had 20 pro fights under his belt and 2 of those opponents as you point out were against David Tua (the best version of Tua we ever saw-and Tua had alot more experience than Ike) and Chris Byrd.
Not bad for just 20 pro fights-who did Wlad beat after 20 fights?
This fight is not even close, I just got off the phone with Wlad he actually predicted Ike in 2...he told me he would be on his bike in the first round but would tire late in the 2nd.
That ****'s hilarious. I agree with you 100 %. I don't know what Wlad's done to merit so much praise from his groupies on this site, but Ike had tremendous power, and like mentioned before, a chin. Wlad might take a couple of rounds, but eventually, he'd catch a flush shot, and be down for the count. People keep talking about how great he is, but he has absoloutely NO chin whatsoever. Sanders, Brewster, and Purrity are a testament to that. Plus, he tasted the canvas 3 times against a sloppy Sam Peter. Ike would KO Wlad, no doubt in my mind about that. The only question is: How long would it take him? Probably not too long, IMO.
And more to the point: I say Wlad is like life, you never know what you're going to get. He can lose to anyone with power and probably would in this case, but to call it a sure thing would be overdoing it.
