Zahir Raheem, who can beat him

Raheem has a tuff style to face! I don't see a lot of the top guys wanting to get in against him. I'm not completely sold on him yet, but if he puts in a few more performances like he did Saturday night, then I'd for sure say that like Chris Byrd and Winky Wright, his is a guy who is feared because of his style!

hmm

They should let Raheem fight Kid Diamond or Juan Lazcano. All of these guys are in need of fights to either establish themselves or RE-prove themselves.

Raheem vs Lazcano would be a very good fight.

Zahir Raheem, who can beat him or who would you like to see face him. Only one guy beat him and that was Rocky Juarez ,which everyone knows was a gift.

Zab and Raheem would be a good match IMO, PBF might kill him, but hey we never know

what are your thoughts

This guy is severely overrated.Anybody with decent power can deck Raheem.I saw his fight in 2002 against a 35 year old Luisito Espinosa, hardly known as a power puncher even in his hayday, put Zaheer at the seat of his pants with a left hook in the 2nd round.And as far as i can remember, he tasted canvass again against Rocky...The reason he won handily against Erik is because he kept circling the ring, running away from a puffy, out of condition fighter who was a never a KO threat in the 130 pound division...Hes fast, yes, skilled, OK, but has no chin and no power...Zab would KO him early, PBF would massacre him.Heck the Pacman would eat him alive!These 3 fighters are as fast or even faster than him and his running style would never work.He would eventually get cornered and be hit by a powerpunch. ;p

Plenty people can beat him. He's very beatable.

The Hispanic Causing Panic is real good. Only fight Id like to see Raheem in now.

anyone with a pulse, whoa what the hell is jayz doing

So Morales doesnt have a pulse now? The guy just beat a legend. The worst you can say is he beat a legend who had an off night. I've been watchin Zahir fight since he left Philly and came here to Tulsa. He has enough power to keep most guys honest, and will beat any face first brawler put in front of him. His chin hasnt been tested at this weight really, but was durable enough to survive Juarez when they fought. My guess is that strong boxer/punchers would have the best luck. However...to go from fighting Morales to.....Lazcano? Kid Diamond? Needs to go Diaz, Castillo, then Corrales. He can face the kid diamond types when they beat the casamayors they fight. May as well fight the top while your on top. Dont waste time.

Castillo would break him down to a stoppage. Corrales will eventually catch him like he did Freitas. I say put him in against Juan Lazcano, Juan Diaz or Julio Diaz.

Zahir Raheem, who can beat him
