Ibeabuchi will go down as another tragic "what if". Nobody can know for sure.

He was a big strapping guy with a big punch, a solid chin and a lot of heart. And he was undoubtedly had some nice skills to go along with it.

Would he have continued to refine his skills and gone on to greatness? Or would he have fizzled out like so many promising prospects before and after him?

We'll never know. Like Tony Ayala Jr, he decided he'd rather spend his prime in a jail cell, rather than trying to realise his potential. It's a shame.
