    Hard to tell he never fought anyone, with the size and talent of the Klitschko brothers. Beating Tua, Byrd, is a whole lot different than facing the Klitschko brothers. And from what i heard Ike Ibeabuchi had alot of trouble vs Marion Wilson so who knows. And i do think Ike Ibeabuchi is overrated.

    You mean Ibeabuchi?...My thoughts, NO he wouldn't beat a Klitschko.

    I've seen Nigerian heavyweights look damn good but I've seen those very same ones: David Izon, Friday Ahunaya, and Sam Peter look like crap.

    Ike had 2 big fights 1 vs Chris Byrd and 1 vs David Tua. Byrd frustrated him a lot but messed up by allowing himself to get trapped on the ropes (spectacular KO that), and a case coul dbe made and has been made that David Tua beat Ibeabuchi when they fought (a truly great fight) but looking at those fights you see a flaw in Ibeabuchi's resume, he fought 1 top level BOXER and 1 top level SLUGGER, but he never fought anyone that was great or even good at both, which is why when he is brought up I will point to his troubles with Tua and Byrd 2 guys although he beat them he had trouble with them and had either guy had the extra wrinkle in their game (eg if Byrd threw with power or Tua boxed better) cases could be made that Ibeabuchi would have looked foolish.

    The question must also be asked: Are we talking prime for prime or just linear history and if we're talking history then what year? Ibeabuchi right now weighs like 350 and is bat shit crazy so I think it woul dbe a fairly easy fight right now

    I wouldn't think Ibeabuchi would have beaten Lewis or Holyfield...Moorer more than likely, maybe a faded Tyson, Ray Mercer is a question mark, Bowe maybe. He'd have a puncher's chance vs both Klitschko's but we often see how that doesn't really work out to much.

    I don't think so, but you never can tell. He was a strong heavyweight who could throw 60 plus punches a round. That would have at least brought something to the table against the Klits, but how that would really compare is just guess work.

    Maybe yes, probably no.

    if ikeabuchi landed square on wlad i reckon it would be lights out, of course you have to be talented enough to manage that. I think ike could of done.

    vitali probably would of just been a bit too effective with his jab for ike to get through
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    He could have been a clit beater.

    At what point though? How old is the guy anyway? 38-40?
