Rahman is GOD! Or is he?

Do you have a link to the fighter comparisons like hbo does sometimes? Like comparing their height and reach and so on.

Don't think Barrett has the power to KO Rahman..

But this should be an easy UD. People will be surprised how easy this fight should be for Barrett.

I don't know much about Barrett, but his losses impress me a lot more than the once I listed above for Rahman.

Lets do Barrett:
1 - Latest loss is a Majority Decision to Mesi! Same Mesi who KO'ed Williams in the 1st!
2 - In 2000 his first and only KO loss to Wlad Klitchko. Come on, in 2000 Wladimir was unstoppable.. he walked through everyone he was put in front of. This is as legit of a loss as Rahman's loss to Lewis
3 - Split Decision loss to Whitaker, who KOed Maskayev in 2.. same Maskaev who send Rahman through the ropes. And Whitalker's competition, again aside from Lewis (in Rahman's arsenal), impresses me more than Rahman's.

Anything is possible especially with a man weighing over 200 pounds you know?

My gut says Rahman but my head says Barrett. Comparing recent fights as neither fighter has fought anyone significant Barrett has looked more impressive than Rahman. But then again at the same time Barrett has never really looked lackluster. Also to me Barrett has only 2 loses, he whooped the pants off of Mesi clearly.

Rahman wouldn't be able to get a win against Vitali, Byrd, or Toney. Hell he lost to Ruiz. How he gets #1 contender status is beyond me. I don't know how Barrett gets an eliminator shot either.

It's on Boxrec..

As you can see.... Rahman's Reach advantage ---> His Jab and power are the only tools.

Rahman would KO Toney.

Rahman is like Golota and Frans Botha to me. In big fights they just dont show up. And after losing in the big fights (yes Rahman beat Lewis), these fighters fight in obscurity, rack up a couple of wins and then get back to cable fights. Where they lose again.

I have mix feelings about Rahman, I saw Corrie Sanders school Rahman and then I saw the poise Rahman exhibited against a dangerous David Tua, straight taking the boxing to him only to have the fight stopped controversially.

I'm not completely sold on Rahman as champ, but I think he will beat Barrett.

[enadeus]

This heavyweight boxing era kind of reminds me of the kind of fighters we had right before Tyson came in and destroyed everyone.

Whose Mesi? I always thought he was unproven.

True! ..........

Rahman would KO Toney.

LOL

You must be tripping!
