Like Rahman against Oleg? Holyfield? ice Cole? Tua twice? When will this man win a big fight. he caught Lewis with a good shot and that is his only chance here.
I don't understand that statement, no offense. He looked much fatter against Ruiz and literally played with the guy. Ruix was a 230 lb guy who beat Rahman, Holfield probably three times, and has been in with everyone. Guinn showed up in shape and could do nothing with Toney. Holyfield destroyed Rahman and could do nothing with Toney.
How would you feel if Toney was fighting Oliver McCall? because that's who Rahman is. A guy whose entire career is one right hand. or Renaldo Snipes. Rahman cannot dominate mediocre fighters and is an absolutely helpless inside figher which is where James will be much of the fight.
Rahman is the 1st real heavy weight he has fought at the elite level ....skills can take only so far ....you need some stamina..if Rahman lands half the shots that Jirov did in the 190lbs title fight freddie roach will stop the fight man...I hope james wins but shit he looks real bad man
He is the fat kid who can kick your ass.
How did Frank Bruno do against Tim Witherspoon?
Mike Weaver against Larry Holmes?
You can eitehr fight or you can't. Rahman will be exhausted in the later rounds and the "fat kid" will be calmly slapping the shit out of him.
Toney can certain;y be beaten, but it will take someone with skills, and the Rock doesn't have them. The way he fights low will actually make it easy for Toney to get to him. The fight is a complete mismatch.
A guy like Klitschko can give Toney a world of problems bc he fights tall.
"fat kid in swim class" =James Toney
James Toney can flat out fight...I don't think his size will matter in this fight, because Rahman's skiils are no where near Toney's level...
