Tyson would outbox Ike handily, if even Tua was close to it.

There's very, very, very few fantasy fights against Champions or top fighters I'd pick Ibeabuchi to win. This ain't one of 'em. Fury wins a UD.

Fury would out-box Ike from long range behind his long jabs, right hands and combinations without giving him any space on the inside to take a decision.

I'd give Ike the edge over Butterbean. That's about it.

Why would I not pick him on most fantasy fights? The answer to that is simple. Because he doesn't deserve that kinda recognition or respect.

gilly's an ike hater

I'm not too high on him, no.

For one thing the big thing he gets praised to the moon about, the David Tua fight. To me it's a bit overrated as a fight, and I thought Tua won it.

How about Chuck Martin? Johnny Ruiz? Niko Valuev? Sergey Liakhovich? Shannon Briggs? Lamon Brewster? Bermane Stiverne? Herbie Hide? Bruce Seldon? Oliver McCall? Michael Bentt? Leon Spinks?

didn't you pick 156 pound bob fitzimmons to beat ike too, gillionaire?

You could say that about a lot of guys. The truth is he is a big "what if"? To his credit, at least he did beat Byrd and Tua, which is more impressive than guys that keep winning fantasy fight after fantasy fight.

He has a win over Tua officially. He didn't beat him.

Probably. I definitely have infinitely more respect for Fitz than I do Ike.

And if you must make a pick.

I had it 115-113 Tua. Not a robbery or anything, but Tua landed the harder shots throughout the fight. I don't really recall too many particularly heavy shots landing from Ike. He stood up to some big bombs from Tua, and threw more than Tua, but his punches had less impact.

tua didnt budge ike once
