Ibeabuchi making comeback

Say what you will about Furry but his resume has already surpassed Ike's with that one win.

 

WORD^

 

Incorrect. Beating the 97 Tua who was 24-years-old was still in-shape and fierce is more impressive than beating a 40-year-old Wlad would REFUSED to try.

 

No it isn't, beating a hard-hitting unbeaten prospect who never went on to win a belt (in an era which wasn't very strong) will never match dethroning a guy who has reigned for close to a decade, regardless of the nature of their victories.

 

Wlad reigned over THE weakest era in heavyweight history and did so in shameful, bitch style of a fashion.

Prime Tua was a better fighter than ANYBODY Wlad beat during his reign.

 

But not all W's are the same. Ike went to war with Tua and was lucky to get the nod. Fury humiliated Klit.

 

None of Wlad's opponents (nor Wlad himself) could have beaten prime Tua THE WAY Ike beat him, but several of them would have beaten Tua.

Tua was only as dangerous as you allowed him to be. Ike's fight against Tua proved his stamina, chin, strength and courage, but also his stupidy

 

Did you watch Tua as his career progressed? The Ibeabuchi fight is an outlier. Steroids were illegal. If he used them for that fight, but not others, you have a plausible explanation as to why he was able to throw so many punches in that fight compared to others.

 

He was apparently old and fat before that fight, too.

 

Steroids wont do shit for your stamina

 

It was undeniably a weak era, maybe the weakest ever, yet Tua still couldn't pick up a belt.

 

::

Very well played Sir Slicealot!

 

Chris Byrd disagrees with you.

 

but why would he used them for that fight but not others much more meaningful like the Lewis fight ?

 

:: ::

 

Agreed.

Tua never used gear.

By the time of the Lewis fight he was using ice baths to try and burn fat, for fucks sake.

He was eating yogurt in training camp.


He was lazy and had a training regimen which ironically kept his weight high and hurt him at the same time, he lifted too many weights and became heavy, tight and slow.

 

Agreed for everything apart that I think, Tua was alway's on the gear (as all top fighters are imo).

 

Word is that Ibeabuchi will face Andy Ruiz on the Pac-Bradley III undercard. If true, that's an hell of a comeback fight for Ike after 15 years out of the ring. Sill, even though Andy Ruiz is mediocre, he should have enough to beat that version of Ike.

 

Ike would kill Waldo. If Klitschko is scared to get hit by Fury just imagine him in with an aggressive mentally challlenged demon ridden ibeabuchi.

Holy shit Ike looks old, well, he is 43 after all but I had least expected him to still have hair. Him vs Briggs would be a good geriatric championship fight

 

Isn't Fury mentally challenged and demon ridden as well?

 

Ike is gonna get crushed

 

Never watched a solitary Ike Ibeabuchi fight.

 

No doubt, just like Lewis, Wlad, Vitali and any other heavyweight elites would have done back in Ike's prime.
