But you could argue that the best Nigerian fighters have come from the Southeast like Ike Ibeabuchi, Sam Peter, Herbie Hide and Dick Tiger.

Ok, thanks for the info. But he's got some Irish blood in him. I think that's where the boxing gene came from. As you know the average Yoruba guy no get liver to fight.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHAMPIONS AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS...

Ikemefula Charles "Ike" Ibeabuchi (born February 2, 1973) is a Nigerian former professional boxer who fought at heavyweight. He defeated highly ranked contender David Tua and future world champion Chris Byrd. After compiling a record of 20–0 with 15 knockouts, Ibeabuchi was imprisoned in Las Vegas in July 1999, after submitting an Alford plea. In November 2015, Ibeabuchi was released from the custody of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after completing his 16-year Nevada state prison sentence without incident. He has since announced that he will be returning to the ring at the age of 42 to resume his professional career.

OKON WAS BETTER...


Samuel Okon Peter (born September 6, 1980) is a Nigerian professional boxer and former WBC heavyweight champion. He rose to prominence in his early professional career following a string of spectacular knockout wins, at a time when the titles of the division were fragmented. In 2008 he won a portion of the heavyweight crown by knocking out Oleg Maskaev, and scoring notable wins over James Toney and Oleg Maskaev before that. Later in 2008, in what would be his only defense of the title, Peter lost to Vitali Klitschko, who stopped him in eight rounds. Peter remains the only boxer to have been defeated by both Klitschko brothers, losing to Wladimir twice (in 2005 and 2010) and Vitali once.

Ike Ibeabuchi was on his way to greatness and he was undefeated, but he was unstable mentally. Sam Peter was a solid heavyweight contender with murderous punching power and he challenged for the heavyweight title a couple times. Herbie Hide was a Cruiserweight with deadly power as well.

But, like a typical Igbo man with excess testosterone, he overreacted and over-indulged in a lot of activities outside the boxing ring. In terms of boxing skills, he is not on the same league with all these nobodies you are dropping here.

Exactly. Ike Ibeabuchi was a freak of nature. Southeasterners aren't as deep into boxing as much as the Yorubas, but when they are, they've produced quality fighers.

Yes Yoruba guys have had quality and quantity, but no top Yoruba heavyweight would touch Ibeabuchi or even Sam Peter for that matter. Lateef Kayode started off strong then he started declining after facing top opposition. Ola Afolabi is a decent contender at Cruiserweight, but he'll never get over the hump. Ajose at 140 lbs. declined after getting destroyed by both Matthysse and Hank Lundy..

Henry Akinwande (born 12 October 1965) is a
retired English professional heavyweight boxer
and former WBO heavyweight champion.
Amateur career
As an amateur boxing out of the Lynn amateur
boxing club in Camberwell, SE London, he was
ABA heavyweight champion in both 1988 and
1989, beating another fellow Nigerian and future
WBO heavyweight champion Herbie Hide and
represented Great Britain in the heavyweight
division at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul,
South Korea.
Amateur Highlights
1986 ABA 2nd place at Heavyweight
1987 ABA 2nd place at Heavyweight
1988 ABA Champion at Heavyweight
1988 represented Great Britain as a
Heavyweight at the Seoul Olympic Games.
Result was:
Lost to Arnold Vanderlyde (Netherlands)
points
1989 ABA Champion at Heavyweight,
outpointing Herbie Hide in final.

Akinwande made his professional debut in 1989
against Carlton Headley in London and won all
of his first 18 bouts, including a second round
KO victory over former World Light Heavyweight
Champion J.B. Williamson , and relatively well
known fringe fighters such as Marshall Tillman,
Eddie Taylor, Kimmuel Odum and John Fury .
Akinwande then challenged Axel Schulz for the
vacant European heavyweight title in Berlin ,
Germany in 1992. The fight, scored only by the
referee was adjudged to be a draw after 12
rounds. This was felt by many to be a "home
town" decision, as most observers had
Akinwande winning comfortably.
Following a victory over New Zealand's
respectable James Thunder for the
Commonwealth title in 1993, Akinwande again
challenged Schulz for the vacant European belt.
This time three judges were employed and
Akinwande was awarded a unanimous decision
after 12 rounds. He was to defend the title
twice, against Biagio Chianese and Mario
Scheisser . Akinwande also defeated fellow
Briton and future WBO cruiserweight champion
Johnny Nelson, former IBF heavyweight title
holder Tony Tucker, Frankie Swindell , Brian
Sargent, Calvin Jones and Gerard Jones, all
from the USA, during this period.

relaxed demeanor in the ring than in his
previous ShoBox appearances. In the 6th round
he perfectly placed a right hand down the pipe
that connected on the left side of Perry’s jaw,
sending him sprawling to the ground once
more. Perry had never touched the canvas in 13
years as a professional pugilistboxer. [5]
On June 10, 2011, Kayode proved too much for
a game Matt Godfrey, then 19-3 with 14 KOs, at
the Chumash Resort Casino. Kayode controlled
the entire fight and sent Godfrey to the canvas a
total of three times, eventually winning by
scores of 98-90, 97-90, 98-89. He knocked
Godfrey to the floor in rounds one, five and nine
with a devastating display of body shots and
power punches to the head of Godfrey. [6]

Yeah I've watched boxing since I was 4 years old. I also had like 25 amateur fights, but my mom told me to quit because she thought boxing was "dangerous". I might have another stint at going amateur.

Yes, Mou is likely to bring success in the first two seasons and we all know what's next....we can't afford to pay huge compensation for a short term solution.

My Opinion: Allow Van Gaal run down his contract and give Giggsy a shot. Then, appoint a Director of Football (Ed Woodward is poor at handling transfer issues and player contract......Let him stick to his primary duty[Negotiating commercial deals...he's brilliant at that]).
