If Ike Ibeabuchi hadn't made that call to that lying hooker the Klit brothers would both be taking more nude pics together & not boxing. Ike was the natural successor to Lennox Lewis. Man a fight between Ike & Lennox would have been a barn burner

LOL Come on... Ike who was frustrated to the max vs Chris Byrd but managed to score a KO which can be just as easily ascribed to as a fluke than anything else.
And went balls to the wall with David Tua, who would never land a single meaningful punch in 12 rounds vs either Klitshko.
Sorry, Ike was a well built, well rounded HW but he was never very specia, aside from having possibly the best stamina of any HW. I would imagine both Klitschko's and Lennox Lewis would have scored wide UD's against him with very little chance of other outcome.

Wladimir Klitschko has scored double digit 1st round KO's in his career vs opposition that might be described as being better versed and more durable than Shavers.
Earnie Shavers would be among the shortest, lightest, least skilled, chinniest opponents he has ever faced with a punch much softer than his average opponents as well.
To claim Shavers could make it out of a round with Wladimir is a VERY bold claim when properly thought through.
The proper question to ask is.. "When was the last time an opponent as weak as Earnie Shavers survived a round of boxing with Wladimir Klitschko?"

Wlad would shit his panties to look across the ring and see Shavers with 68 knockouts.
Umm. I think that Wladimir's 53 knockouts would be somewhat more frightening than Shavers 68, given the enormous gulf in quality and size of the opponents each in fact did knock out.
Shavers would never enter a ring with a Klitschko, he'd never make it that far.

what are you talking about @Dia bando Will you stop with the Joe Calzaghe stuff?
Yeah well I prefer to trust my own eyesight more than the word of so called "knowledgable senior posters" like yourselves.
If I find myself the victim of scalding from you Master, I know I must be on the right track.
I have an internet connection with much of the key fights and even some more obscure ones to download at my fingertips. Being removed from the "emotional" aspect of those times I can only imagine would possibly put me in an improved position to judge the worth of a historical fighter.

You need to read and see more because your knowledge is based on what is current is best when it is not.
Eras go in cycles they all can not be the best 70's and 90's the best 2000 = suck. It will pick up.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
