Toney vs. Rahman

[Kid Achilles]

"Of note, both IBF champion Chris Byrd and contender Hasim Rahman attended the post-fight presser and spoke of challenging Toney."

Forget Toney vs. Byrd, the fight would be awful. What interests me is the possibility of a Rahman vs. Toney fight. I think Toney could win this one but he would need to be in excellent shape. James would not be able to make one mistake because Rahman's right is a fight ender and the jab he sets it up with is also harder and more accurate than Ruiz's.

I think this could be one of the best fights that can be made in the division right now. You'd have to favor Rahman but his flawed chin and porous defense do give Toney a pretty good chance of pulling off an upset.

Toney in an easy win. Rahman has no counter punching ability, is slow, and has poor stamina. Look at how Ruiz dominated him. Toney would have an even easier time, and possibly TKO Hasim if Toney came in shape.

However, this fight is prob. not happening. Rahman has to fight Barrett in the summer, and IF he wins that, he´s going to lose to Klitschko after that . . .

Rahman let a past prime Holyfield do him in.
Who wins this fight is a no brainer, How Toney will beat him requires a bit more thought.
