The President Vs Lennox Lewis

- - Ike infinitely better than McCall and Rahman before he went loonytunes. Sorta like Me better than U in all phases of life save U dominance of S T U P I D>>>

Your a better drinker than Jab... Though as posts like the above show, your not a very social drinker Ginny! More the kind that likes throw shiat against the wall and call it modern art.

I'm curious how you come to this conclusion with Ike's limited experience and career?

Boxing or wrassling? Sorry could not resist. Some here will get the pn hopefully.

Ok seriously. Fact of the matter is: lewis beat a lot of fighters who held a lot of promise... Grant was touted, Razor Ruddock was going to destroy him, Shannon Briggs was a very hot prospect when Lewis fought him... Was Ibeabuchi, what we know of him really much better at the time than what we thought of these prospects?

I say this as a reformed Ibeabuchi fan... Like Liston the man was seemingly crafted to be a heavyweight fighter, and his abilities to hang in there, to punch hard, and to keep coming forward... But lewis has actual experience on his side and if you read the glowing reports on Briggs for example, or Golota, etc... Was the president truly better?

There several hot prospects at that time. In fact I remember the cover of either zKO or the Ring featuring several of the up and comers.

I think Ike stands out to many because of his slugfest with Tua. Tua was starting to set himself apart from the other prospects at that time having beaten several at that point. It was a good win for Ibeabuchi. But he still never fought a big heavyweight with experience. I just cant say he would brat a former heavyweight champion and all time great baded on two fights against other prospects

Speaking of Ike....he's got a fight scheduled for December 7th this year.

As good as Ike was, Tua was easy to beat... Stay away from his left, with no reach to speak of. Your right about a big heavyweight J.

I was born in 86 buds, I believed in Ike.

He was good at all ranges, tough as they come, and if he hit you with his sledgehammer fists he'd knock ya from Vegas to London.

I'm bias in his favor probably because I was impressed at an impressionable age, but I'd say it's a GD shame his people couldn't control him a little better. He was an animal, handled right he could have been a champion.
