Ike Ibeabuchi...
 
Not that it matters much, because the last pic I saw of this guy he was huge and probably wouldn't stand a chance fighting today.....

But I know there was a parole hearing for him in December. Anyone know how that turned out?

The dude lost it. Went crazy, saw demons, etc. Sad story. Not sure if it is related to the Tua fight or not, but that was a nasty fight.

If he did not go crazy, he would have been the HW champion. He had all the tools to beat anyone at that point in time. He destroyed Chris Bird and that was the last time he fought....Shame

He was good, but would have gotten owned by Lenox Lewis. Ike was more of a brawler and Lenox was a boxer puncher who made Tua look like amature.

Ike was a brawler, but he had outstanding cardio for a HW, great hands and power. He would have beat Lewis by taking him into deep waters. No body wanted to fight Ike after he beat Byrd. At that time know one wanted to fight Chris Byrd. Ike took the fight and KO'ed him. That was Byrd's first loss. Ike was the real deal; and he through it all away for a stripper....
Tua and Lewis fought 3 or 4 years after Ike and Tua fought. Tua was on the decline then and struggling with his weight. He was past his time when he fought Lewis.
