The lunatic Ibeabuchi, currently locked up, is probably the greatest 'what if' story in heavyweight history.
I think this monster would have put Lewis and his glass jaw to sleep inside of three rounds.
Pity we never got to see it.

a_p_ribafish - you're clueless. Ibeabuchi's personal demons have got nothing to do with his boxing ability.
Lewis was a good heavyweight, nothing more. Certainly not a top ten champ. He was starched by two fringe contenders with ONE SHOT, was almost starched by Shannon Briggs and also got a gift decision against Holyfield, the second time around. He's not the only fighter in history to have a glass jaw.
Ibeabuchi would have put him to sleep.

smitty - interesting answer. This monster, Ibeabuchi, had plenty of will, except when it came to women.

Ibeabuchi KO round 7. It's a pity that more human beings can't exhibit self control, and show respect to others. If Ike had exhibited these two traits he might be champion right now! Lewis an extremely talented and great fighter had the one glaring weakness that he shares with an AMERICAN boxing great, Thomas Hearns. a p ribafish.. Us American boxing fans call it like we see it. Lewis was KNOCKED OUT by two in my opinion fringe heavyweights (McCall and Rahman, by the way they are American, and I don't think they were great fighters). He had no business losing to these fighters, as a result , and justly so, he is known as a fighter who has a glass jaw. The ability to take a punch when the title is on the line is a trait that the truly legendary fighters have!
a p ribafish - I never called you disrespectful, we disagree that's all. All Brad M did was pose a hypothetical match up, and I gave an answer that to that question. Brad posed his question as match up in the ring. He didn't ask which fighter's ethics and morals are better. It is absolutely inexcusable to commit rape. In the previous paragraph I stated that more human beings should exhibit self control and respect for others that comment wasn't aimed in your direction. I said that in reference to Ibeabuchi. You are correct he did avenge those two losses, but Lennox shouldn't have put himself in the position of having to avenge those knockout losses.

Ike Ibeabuchi is a useless, rapist piece of s***, who has only brought shame to this great sport. To even put him in the same sentence with Lennox Lewis, one of the greatest, most talented boxers and heavyweight champions that ever lived is an insult, and to suggest that he would knock him out is embarrassing and it just goes to show how poor your knowledge of boxing really is.
And - "...Lewis and his glass jaw..." - if nothing else maybe you should try watching the Klitschko fight and see just how accurate your comment is. Lennox took some shots in that match that would sent most of the other boxers out of the ring on stretchers and jet he won, but no, he has a glass jaw and he'd get taken out by Ibeabuchi. Come on..
In my opinion this punk can count his blessings that he never got to face Lewis because if he did, he would have wound up killed within 5 rounds.
Man, there is so much Lennox Lewis hate on this site, and all from United States boxing fans, which I'm guessing is probably where you're from too. I wonder if it would be the same if he was American. Maybe then you would recognize him as a true champion and the legend that he is and stop asking stupid questions like this.
Brent F you call me disrespectful, but tell me how do you respect someone who rapes women. Please explain that to me because I don't know.
I'll say it once again, in my opinion comparing Ibeabuchi to someone Lennox Lewis - that's disrespectful. And as far as your other argument is concerned, I'm not really sure how to address that Lewis McCall fight but his loss against Rahman was a fluke and you know that. It was result of one careless mistake and that right straight punch which dropped Lennox would have taken out anyone in the world at that moment. Non the less, Lewis avenged both these losses convincingly and he beat every man he ever faced in his professional career.
And don't deliberately misinterpret my words - I have absolutely nothing against American boxers. All I have said is that most of the US BOXING FANS on this site are hateful and disrespectful towards Lennox Lewis and always try in some way to undermine his talent and achievements and I stand by that statement.

Brad ~
Ike "The President" Ibeabuchi In my opinion, would have definitely knocked out Lennox Lewis. I think he was well on his way of becoming the next big thing in boxing. He had so much power and could take a pretty decent shot too. I think that he would have waxed Lewis inside of 5 rounds, with that huge right hand he threw.
The really sad thing about Ike is, he lived in Las Vegas for crying out loud. There's woman out there that it's their job to sleep with you! He had the world by the short hairs and he found one of the only women in Vegas who didn't want to have sex with him. He deserved what he got, when he gets out him and Tony Ayala should get together and go bowling.
Thanks for the question Brad.

Brad, I am trying to contact you.
On this fight, If if was a skiff we could go on a boat. If I had a million dollars, I would be a millionaire. If my aunt had a ?, she would be my uncle. If you coulda, shoulda, woulda: ask Jim Mora Sr. about that.
I have never been enamored by any fighter that appears to be invincible. It is not your power, but your will.
All I can say is Sorry, Charlie. I am glad that things are back to normal and that I don't agree with Santana d.

I've held this contention ever since I saw Ibeabuchi beat David Tua. He would have stopped Lewis the second he got careless. If that didn't happen, Ibeabuchi's work rate would have earned him an easy decision.
What a shame we never got to see him fulfill his promise.
