Ike Ibeabuchi vs Sam Peter. They both hail from Nigeria, and were both at one point rising stars. Ibeabuchi's career was derailed in 2001 after he was convicted and imprisoned for the rape of an exotic dancer. Ike was truly talented.
He outboxed and KO'd Chris Byrd when Chris was undefeated and in his prime.
He also won a Unanimous Decision against David Tua in a fight that can only be described as extremely violent.
Since then, a new "Nigerian Nightmare" has come on the scene. Sam Peter. I have to admit when I first saw Sam I wasn't too impressed. You could tell that he had alot of power and a clubbing, brawling style. He lacked in technical skills, but showed promise.
He made a believer of me when he KO'd the slick boxer Jeremy Williams in the 2nd round of their 2004 fight.
Peter further impressed me when he outboxed the extremely slick veteran James Toney. He not only outboxed him, but he did it twice. He beat him even more convincingly in their 2007 rematch.
So let's here it who do you think would win this dream match? What Heavyweight matchup would you like to see?
