    Lmao at some of you guys saying Wlad would beat Ike. Hell no he wouldn't. And Anthony Joshua more skilled than Ike? Are y'all kidding me?

      I can throw 901 punches in a fight. I guess I'm better than both. Case closed.

      While that fight was fun to watch in a drunken stupor, better HWs would have at some point detected the pattern and changed up their strategy. It was two guys throwing smothered punches from 1 inch away and letting the judges decide who sustained more brain damage.

      Ike was not a special fighter. Just dead rockstar syndrome. *After* he got locked up he got this reputation as a worldbeater because people knew they could make wild claims and never be proven wrong.

          You said every way.

          Joshua was blowing out of his ass in round 5 against Wlad. Ibeabuchi would have outworked Joshua and stopped him in the mid rounds. Ibeabuchi was all around a very skilled fighter with a great chin and stamina. A nightmare for any heavyweight.

            Completely different fights. Ike and Tua spent half the night leaning on each other and by a certain point there was just nothing on those punches. They were cardio-boxing from kissing distance and rattling each other but it became clear both had lost the ability to knock their opponent out. When they were apart the jabs were just superficial flicks, nothing on those either.

            Had Ike been required to chase a taller fighter with just as much power like Joshua or Wlad around you would have seen how tired he was while he swung, missed, and got picked apart. He was so standard.

                I think he was a clear PED abuser tbh and would be caught by some of the more modern drug testing agencies.
