Who was the Nigerian fighter Larry Merchant was so hot on? David Izon or Friday Ahunaya? Both of them were hyped up big time...because everyone was wishing Ibeabuchi was out of jail (though NOBODY wanted to be with the guy outside the ring because he was fucking nuts).



Ibeabuchi and Sam Peter also came up short in reaching their potentials.
I've wondered if the worst thing that ever happened to Peter was crushing Jeremy Williams like he did. Everyone expected this indominable wrecking machine after that, but he could box a little. Unfortunately he could also eat. You've got me thinking maybe Courage Tshabalala when he lost on his first ppv? I remember Lampley and Merchant losing their kool aid over huge Derrick Jefferson when he got KO of the year on Harris. Crazy times then..there was a boat load of decent guys clamoring to be 'the next' and HBO had a bunch. Max "" Kellerman and ESPN were obsessed with creating a new "super heavy" division for the like of McCline and Mount Whitaker ffs .
