    yes...monte was slow also but found a home with the jab if he would have used it more.

      There's no actual footage of him throwing a full punch, the cameras keep running out of film.

        Here's the answer, this is what happened when they fought:

        http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.ph...e=Fight:951086

        Hasim Rahman > Monte Barrett. He has a much better resume with wins over former world titleholders Lewis and Sanders.

        Rahman is a year younger and is somewhat bigger than Monte, and has more KO power.

        Both are past their best.

          Barret and Rahman are both done.

          He wont get more credit cause Wladimir is natural HW with over 50 fights, this was Haye's first test at HW. He shouldnt get more credit.

            Tunney as a big Klitschko fan would you agree that Haye would at least beat this slower Rahman? he was never that great to begin with.

            He rode that Lewis win as if it was sea biscuit.

              They are at about the same level.

              Rahman would have very little chance against Wlad or Haye. Barrett was not impressive against Wlad or Haye.

              I hope that people don't try to overrate either win.

                Funny.

                I seem to remember Rahman being a shot, ****, chinny bum just a few months ago when Haye was talking of fighting him. Futhermore, some posters even claimed Haye was ducking Barrett for an easier fight in Rahman.

                Gotta love NSB.

                  both are shot, both are pretty **** now BUT Rahman is better than Barrett

                  Rahman has beaten better fighters, has had a better career

                  to me he is still a better win even if they are both shot

                    Like I said, no matter which way you look at it, Rahman is a better name on your resume than Barrett. Period.

                      Haye would probably beat Rahman, but Hasim would definitely have a punchers' chance.
