He fought Tua hard, that's great but how would he deal with someone that had power outboxing him? LEWIS. How would he deal with someone just as big and strong as him tying him up and frustrating him as well as headbutting him? HOLYFIELD. How would he deal with someone he couldn't KO? MERCER, MCCALL.

There is only so much you can tell about Ike in these fights....I mean need I remind you of other Nigerian "powerhouses" like David Izon and Friday Ahunaya?
I agree Lyle BUT...Ike was a baby by boxing standards

and PunchStats had Ike landing 91 of 289- 31% punches to 84 of 208-40% for Byrd. So wasnt exactly flailing in th wind all that much so
Honestly JT Rock and be honest.... watching that fight do you actually see Ike hitting Byrd 91 times?
