I think this is fraught with options.....and not as much of a no brainer as I bet most people might imagine.

Douglas gets no respect....and Ike gets little "doubt" when it comes to his potential.....though Douglas SHOWED his potential on one occasion....Ike never really got the chance.

My guess is that nearly 80% call this for Ike.......in my opinion it's far closer to a 50/50 outing. Both have too many serious psyche problems to overly invest in. IMHO

Everything depends on "ifs". The main of them is if Douglas was ready like in Tyson fight and prior to it. And the main thing about Ibeabuchi is that he was a prospect, as mentioned. With two big scalps of then prospects, a one of those bouts was close. Maybe Ike hadn't reached prime for that moment, but he was forced to stop, so we can take those his seen conditions as his top ones. And prime Douglas could handle that kind of fighter Ibeabuchi was.

The only two fighters would might be more unpredictable than these two might be McCall and the Foul Pole.
