i like ur topten list.
i think when ike really sat down on his shots he could really bang. so i would put ike above holyfield, and above lewis but below foreman.

ike was a very clever fighter, he would throw fast shots and like in the byrd fight, when he had you against the ropes or you were in front of him, he would sit down on his shots and spark you in brutal fashion.

i was just watching his fights with byrd and everton davis and some other 6'6 guy, and everytime ike got close and landed properly, he floored his man. he really is a waste of talent.

apparently his mental behavior started after the tua win. they said he complaned of headaches and was basically flying into rages, breaking his sparring partners legs (literally). does anyone else think the tua fight really messed him up? tua did land some BOMBS!
im not sure cos even during the tua fight he seemed very volatile, at the end of some rounds it seemed like he still wanted to get at tua.
