Jim Lampley picks Hasim Rahman over Toney

If Rahman goes to the body hes right.

Jim Lampley also thinks Klitcsko and Byrd would beat Toney. He isn't a Toney believer, but he will be after Saturday night. Larry Mechant as well, although he really likes Toney, isn't a believer in Toney at heavyweight YET. Saturday night will remove all doubt.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see how everyone can predict a short, fat, old "Toney by decision". How do they expect him to last long enough to reach a decision? He's got to win by KO or go home...

I'll quote myself from another thread:

Toney will likely have his way with Rahman, just as over the hill Holyfield and the clinching Ruiz was able to handle Rahman.

I think Rahman will lose, but because he'll fight the wrong fight. I think he'll try to lean all over Toney because he's the bigger, stronger man, and fight inside where Toney has the advantage. If Rahman stays outside and uses his jab, it could be a very close fight, IMO.

I think rahman is going to be trying to throw that right hand all night long and toney is going to constantly counter it.. all night long, I can't wait for this fight!!

...A win over Rahman does not remove all doubt at all. Lets see him in the ring with Wlad, Brewster, or even Sultan. Hell, Sultan is a bigger, stronger, better defensive version of Jirov. We all saw what a war that fight was for Toney. If Rahman comes into the ring and looks like he cares, doesn't sleep walk through the fight while bringing his A game, and then Toney still whips him, then I will give Toney credit and I may change my mind about him not proving anything at heavyweight yet. On the other hand, a loss to Rahman will show that he should never have been taken seriously as a heavyweight.

There shouldn't be any doubt to begin with. Toney's beaten durable Heavyweights at Heavyweight. End of story.

If he beats Rahman on Saturday night, anyone who say's he's not a Heavyweight is an idiot.

You're another raving Klitschko fanatic who doesn't like Toney because he's a Heavyweight that takes the spotlight away from your heros.

With how ****ty the division is right now, Toney fresh off a win over Rahman is a top 3 Heavyweight without a doubt. Anyone who suggests otherwise is an idiot, or a 40 year old hack who knows nothing about boxing.
