Toney Vs. Rahman

[Kimmy]

I agree with jack in terms of it being a fight you`d wanna see but I think Toney would out slick Rahman. Toney has to worry about a great right hand but Rahman`s jab, although a good one is used infrequently and i believe Toney would perhaps win by KO if taken late. I wouldn`t bet on this fight though, Rahman could win it with one punch!

i think Toney wins this one, he's got the skills to counter Rahman's shots all night, and i doubt Rahman would be able to land cleanly against Toney, only Roy Jones has been able to do that. This would be a nasty fight, both guys are hungry, Rahman wants to be champ again and Toney wants to win a heavyweight title so he can retire as one of the all time greats ( If i didn't think Toney is an all time great i wouldn't have his pic as my avatar). i think Toney wants it just a little more and definitely has the better skills, history is full of fights where the smaller, more skilled man beat the bigger, stronger, less skilled, Jones - Ruiz, or Gentleman Jim J.J. Corbett outboxing John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson beating "the Boilermaker" J.J Jeffries, etc.

Actually it was a KO in the 12th. There was no decision.

Actually you are wrong. It was a UD.

[FistoftheDallasStar]

I can see this fight going the distance with Toney the winner by UD. It would be a great fight to see if Rahman can land the big punch. I think that would be all Rahman would have on his side in this fight. He has shown the knack for being sloppy in big fights and that inconsistancy will pave the way for Toney to be able to out smart Rahman and win this one.

Yes with a KD in the 12th. Maybe nohero remembers this.

I concur, well said.

I think that Toney might be approaching the downside of his career. I would favor Rahman in this matchup.

[riz]

booker?? never heard of him, whether he's undefeated or not. he needs a legit contendor. i would like a rematch against jjirov at HW. but i'll take rahman in this one.

Toney's defense is too good for him to get hit witb a lucky shot...I think he would be too slick for Rahman
