imo, rahman's size will work against him in this fight for 2 reasons. 1, he's facing a brilliant counterpuncher who's amazingly slick and has plenty of pop in his cross.. and 2..being that big vs james toney isn't always an advantage..I see it as more target for James to counterpunch..

Once again, he was that shape vs Guinn, and averaged over 80 punches thrown per round from 9 - 12.
If he's in shape to go 12 rounds with that activity rate, his appearence to the eye means absolutely nothing.Comment

people should be happier for him the fatter he gets, after all its the american way. hes probably gonna encourage thousands of overweight men to start riding the excercise bike.

Rahman looks to be in reall good shape, i'm quite surprised.
but i'm sticking with the James "Michelin Man" Toney on this one.
even though Toney is all blubbery he has a better punch output then Rahman and has a better defense.
Rahman doesn't throw enough punches to outpoint Toney. if Rahman uses his jab and keeps Toney on the outside he has a chance at winning rounds, but normally that isnt his style. the only time I've seen Rahman use his jab the way he was supposed too is when he fought Tua for the second time.
I'm predicting that the Michelin Man wins by UD........but anything can happen inside the ring.....Comment

rahman can buff up all he wants, his weak chin is still weak and his skill is still very limited and hes still a mediocre fighter.Comment
