    p4p was originally created so that all fighters with the exception of hw's were calculated by skills. if toney unifies the division, he would be the best in the world, but hes still not p4p. hes p4p all time tho

      I think Rahman allowed Holy to fight at his pace while
      Toney made him stay busier and miss more. His level of conditioning wouldn't allow him to fight like that for very long.
      I read on Holy's site that he hardly does any roadwork anymore.
      Toney's hard for anybody to hit, that's for sure, but I think
      that his conditioning and Rahman's unwillingness to push the issue made the biggest difference in the results of those two fights. I also think that Rahman's gonna lose because he'll fall into the same trap that Guinn did and try to fight Toney on the inside instead of using his reach, but I guess we'll know for sure soon enough lol

        even odds cause they both are questions at heavyweight right now. toney looked spectacular and untouchable at heavyweight but against mediocre or worse fighters. rahman about the same. fat toney is mos def better technically than rahman but rahman can crack so its compelling.

          Yeah Rahman can punch, nobody can deny that, it'll be interesting to see if he can catch Toney with anything big lol
