That KO vs Lewis was Brutal, in London. A KO to remember, he had a decent record but once he stepped up against the better fighters he mostly lost. e.g Tua, Wladimir, Maskaev etc.
One lucky punch vs Lewis or didn't reach his potential?
when Rahman fought Wladimir he was way past his prime, so that doesnt count in my opinion. Maskaev was actually a really good boxer who just happened to have Rahman's number.
so - Rahman was for real, he is a 2 time world champion and everybody who ever sparred him said he is the hardest hitter they ever faced in the ring.
btw he fought Tua to a draw once and the first time he got knocked out but he was leading on the scorecards.
Rahman was a heavy hitter, Maskaev was a good boxer but his chin wasnt the greatest you'd thought one hit and lights.
I guess he was more power than technique
