Ike " the president

I don't know how many remember this guy. Would have gone to be one of the best in the heavy weight division.
Sadly women and a cursed mental state derailed those ambitions. I read he will be out on parole. Soon. 20 years too late.
His fight vs Tua still give me jitters. A "I will kill or be killed action fest "
All the best of what he makes of his remaining life and his poor mother. She was the only one he ever listened to

He would have challenged the Klitschko dominance of the last decade.

Think the Tua fight still holds the record for the most punches thrown in a heavyweight fight that computer has counted.

And they were some monster punches thrown in that fight.

After that fight he started hearing voices and went crazy.

Maybe he should have been been put in a mental institution instead of being incarcerated but he did commit a crime and this was America.

Yes. It still holds the record for punch count.
Me thinks he went to jail more for his voices than the actual crime. He could not even listen too his lawyers. The state threw the book at him after that with his court appointed lawyer.

American justice for you, more people in jail than any other country in the world, where you have lifers in jail for stealing a chocolate bar.

But still, he did have mental problems and his career would have unravelled if not sent to the slammer.

Think he was denied parole recently.
