The two biggest headcases in HW boxing history. Who win's?
Ibeabuchi weighed more so Ibeabuchi...I mean OBVIOUSLY.....oooh plus he never lost AND he weighed more and someone on here somewhere this one time said Ibeabuchi hit the hardest ever....sorry I should put that part in quotes "Ibeabuchi hit the hardest ever" - some guy, this one time
Tyson lost to most people who hit him back.
After he was exposed as hit-able, it was a fast and impressive downward spiral, I almost felt sorry for Tyson at times. I'm glad to see he has made a "comeback" of sorts in a lot of people's eyes.
Mike Tyson has done just about everything the hard way, he has had an interesting life, to say the least.
Would he have won or lost against Ibeabuchi? I don't know, but Tyson was nowhere as durable as Ike in my opinion.

Being serious for a second, the deal with Ike Ibeabuchi is that he's from Nigeria and Nigeria has a storied history of heavyweights (albeit not all positive). Lots of the Nigerian heavyweights showed great promise (Ibeabuchi included) but then failed to impress after great performances. David Izon, Friday Ahunaya, Sam Peter, etc...these guys looked like unstoppable forces but then met resistance and were humbled by better boxers. I will always believe that if given more time in the division than his 20 fights he would have been "found out" and once beaten he would have not looked so great.
Ibeabuchi was diagnosed with bipolar and schizo-effective disorders which over time would have hindered his effectiveness in the ring either because he would have HAD to use drugs to make sure his head was right (those drugs have huge side effects) or he would have just gone bonkers in training or in a fight.
Mike Tyson is bipolar too but the schizo part of Ike's diagnosis is what worries me.
Ibeabuchi vs Holyfield would have been a barn burner

Ike Ibeabuchi doesn't calm down and neither does Tyson which brings me to the point that Ike Ibeabuchi is like 350 pounds now so he would EASILY punch harder than Tyson these days. By the way, your fat picture of Tyson is a year or two old, he's gotten in better shape recently.
I pick Tyson. He has pulled off the insane nutter thing for many more years. He also had more than two fighters on his record who the majority of fans have actually heard of. Oh and his neck is thicker.
