WBC heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman weighed in at a solid 238 lbs today in Altantic City. Challenger James Toney weighed in at a career high 237. They collide Saturday night in Atlantic City.
Rahman was in even better shape for his snoozer with Barrett. He weighed 232 and was horrible. He just is not a really good fighter. he was so ineffective against a shot Holyfield it was pathetic. How is he going to win tomorrow. Wild lucky punch? Maybe. But there is no way he can win 7 rounds of 12 against Toney.
he is not unlike Michael Grant. Great physical tools, just not a really good pro fighter.
toney has trained hard to get those rolls on the back of his neck they work as a cushoin to prevent knock outs and they also hold water so he doesnt get dehydrated, the fat man is a freak of nature.
toney by 11th rnd tko.
man rahman is just a beast of a guy...to bad hes about to get beat by a technical wizard...
dont fall for rahman's antics. hes the sterotypical arrogant asshole: all talk and no walk.
Toney does not look as "doughy" as he did in the Ruiz fight...or in the Guinn fight for that matter. He looks strong...he should be fine.
Rahman does look to be in very good shape as well.
Rahman looks to be in reall good shape, i'm quite surprised.
but i'm sticking with the James "Michelin Man" Toney on this one.
even though Toney is all blubbery he has a better punch output then Rahman and has a better defense.
Rahman doesn't throw enough punches to outpoint Toney. if Rahman uses his jab and keeps Toney on the outside he has a chance at winning rounds, but normally that isnt his style. the only time I've seen Rahman use his jab the way he was supposed too is when he fought Tua for the second time.
I'm predicting that the Michelin Man wins by UD........but anything can happen inside the ring.....
people should be happier for him the fatter he gets, after all its the american way. hes probably gonna encourage thousands of overweight men to start riding the excercise bike.
"if i can get down to 237 ill be just like champ"
personally im a Toney fan, but im just waiting for the day when his lack of conditioning catches up with him. it will eventually
You're another person that's confusing conditioning with physical appearence.
Once again, he was that shape vs Guinn, and averaged over 80 punches thrown per round from 9 - 12.
If he's in shape to go 12 rounds with that activity rate, his appearence to the eye means absolutely nothing.
Best shape I've seen the Rock in....in a damn while.
Although that's not changing a damn thing.
